Welcome back Justice Iftikhar Chaudhry
Is this the beginning of a new era? Should we rejoice over the victory of the chief justice of Pakistan? When has India ever witnessed scenes like these to rid our electoral system of criminals, corrupt politicians?. When will India also wake up?
MANY COMMENTATORS predict that the sun is setting on Pakistan. I am one of the very few who believe with growing optimism that the dawn of a golden period in the whole of South Asia is just a couple of years away.

The silent majority is waking up in Pakistan. The media and the NGOs are taking over in awakening the conscience of the silent populace, which is now aware of their civil rights and the benefits of democracy.

Barack Hussein Obama can become a catalyst for the hopeful public of Pakistan by siding with the silent majority and working directly with the NGOs, sidestepping the current government establishments of Army and its civil cronies. The civilian aid should go directly to the people and not to the government.

The current political stand-off has only one winner, Chief Justice Iftikhar Chaudhry.

His legal crusaders who launched public awareness marches to restore law and order on the strength of a fair and democratic Constitution rather than of biased enforcement of a whimsical presidential rule are winning plaudits everywhere.
The sooner the world understands where the actual power should lies in Pakistan, the quicker it would help solve the regional problem. The world should understand the difference between the phenomenon of the good grass-roots Islamic Sharia laws rather than taking a narrow view that Islam only sponsors evil.

If the grass-roots in Pakistan are allowed to look after their affairs based on Islamic Sharia laws (if they want to), which have nothing to do with terrorism and extremism, South Asia would start moving in the right direction.

In the hour of their need it is the duty of all Indians to support the people of Pakistan. The media, the civil society and the NGOs of the world should channelise their energies in support of the underdogs, the silent majority. Let us not alienate them by criticising their religious beliefs due to extremist attitude of a few Pakistanis.
If Pakistan can do it so can India. Politicians like Sharad Pawar, Mayawati to name a few, think India owes it to them to make them the Prime Minister of India. What makes them feel so sure of being elected, let alone be the PM?
The reason is the state of our media and inactive NGOs. Do we have the fearless anchors like Hamid Mir? Do we have fearless TV stations like Geo TV?

No, whatever we have is already bought by these evil politicians. What has happened to the Tahelkas of this world?

Does anyone remember Jayprakash Narayan? The last man to shake the conscience of the entire nation.

Time has come for a new leader to arise amongst us. May be we should take a leaf from chapter of the long march of Iftikhar Chaudhry. Pakistanis can now hold their heads high. Their ‘long march’ set free democracy from the both external and internal imperialism.

Ok we have now crossed the line of no return. The test for the both the offsprings of the Midnight has arrived. Pakistan is at the threshold and either it enters the era of the Golden Future or returns forever to the stone ages. The responsibility lies in the hands of the Chief Justice of Pakistan. The Grass roots want proper elections and you have the 180 million plus the Chief justice of Pakistan on one side and on the other side you have the Media,The Army Generals,The Corrupt Civil Servents and the criminal Political Mafias contolling the Terrorists falsley using Islam as a shield. Honourable Chief Justce sahib you have a window of only 6 weeks to make sure no criminal,uneducated,religiously biased,Army sponsored,and those who are controlling the two big political parties be denied platform completely,no election sloganing,all candidates wishing to participate present all personal information on public website for thorough public scrutiny and not alone vetted by the election commission.The candidates for national Parliament must have 10 years visible public service at the grass roots level etc. If any of these fail you can be rest assured Pakistan will never survive as a united entity as it is and there will be a genocide of the innocents like never seen before..Allah ki kayamat aajayegi aur aap ko awam ki bad dua lag jayegi. Next will be India and when the ordinary grass roots will take matters in their hands the whole world will be engulfed by the mother nature's fury. Do not take this lightly.

There will be no change in Indian elections with nearly 500 million voters more than half are rural who have already decided on caste, and jamindar loyalties literally because they do not have any power at all. India is not free at all just a few liberals may be about 15 million who toe the line of western english liberalism and discuss in english the trivialities of good governance but that rarely touches the hardships of the rural masses ..do you have an answer to that? or does anyone for that matter?

Ramesh what is the difference between Ram and Ramesh just the names really and out biological bodies the almighty has created the same yet we fight because of the religion yet neither you nor i have any knowledge of how to behave properly so that bad name is not given to the God and only god who gave us these religions but under different names. The writer of the article has given encouraging words must be from the heart because i have started to believe in what he is saying that is we must put our differences aside and talk peacefully.

This sounds all Greek to me.My friend you should be in the business of TV presenting because your style of sensetionalising a small matter into a very big achievement of a nutty old manand then talking about India rising to meet the criminal challane as a double barrel aim. India looks very good as a slum but can not forget its old history like the Greeks of the Zorba kind.Any little child on the street can tell you now that the Army of Pakistan has twent faces all at the same time. Osama bin Laden is the creation of Paki Army and so is Abdullah Omar and Hamid Gul and Rehman Malik.They are all the same functioning differently.one day Nuclear bombs will be targeted at New York,New Delhi and New London and people will still be looking for them in the desert of Afghanistan instead of the barracks of Islamabad. Long live CIA.

Trust Ejaz Haider to ask the most pertinent question post restoration of CJ Iftekhar Chaudhry. What?s next? Haider, a veteran journalist, writes that the issue must go beyond the person of the CJP to the institution of the judiciary and further on to the judiciary?s interaction with other institutions of state and society. And, to the gravest threat facing Pakistan: terrorism. The difficult part is yet to come. The problem is; the difficult part is here & now, glaring at us in the face. Government of Pakistan and NWFP signed a deal with militants in Swat last month, practically handing most of Malakand division over to them. The deal, ironically called Nizam Adl Regulation (System of Justice Regulation), ran into snags when Tehrik Nifaz-i-Shariat Muhammadi chief Maulana Sufi Mohammad asked judicial officers to stop coming to courts and said that any further court proceedings would be in violation of the agreement signed by the government. The lawyers? movement took on the case of CJ Chaudhry for the past two years and marched the length & breadth of the country, but will they take up the case of lawyers and session judges who are now given their marching orders by Maulana Sufi Mohammed. CJ Chaudhry was sacked by the president of the country (we are not going into the details of how credible was the election of the president) which raised the proverbial hell and rightly so. Now, this so called leader and cleric, who was jailed by the government until recently, threatens the judges and lawyers of the area and there is hardly any response to that, either from the lawyers? community or civil society. I don?t expect champions of justice and democracy Imran Khan and Qazi Hussien Ahmed to breathe a word against this atrocity because it is brought on by their brothers in faith but what about the other upholder of democracy and rule of law Mr. Nawaz Sharif? Not a murmur from PML-N either. Does that mean that political parties in Pakistan can only stand up against the state machinery and burn and destroy public property, but cannot take on the militants who are hell bent on destroying the very fabric of society.

If Chudhry sahib is reinstated with out oath it could alsomean that he was never out and because he declared that Musharraf 's election was illlegal whatever Doggar did does not mean anything because we can not have two chief justices.This means that Zardar is also an illlegal incumbant because Justice Wahajiudin should be true winner of the election. This is a mockery of Pakistani justice system and one must clarify who the real president of Pakistan should be.
Shahid Ramzani
It will be a hollow victory if a compromise has been worked up between the powers unknown to bury the NRO and Musharaff election issue.To make the democracy work we must make the Musharraf election illlegal to make sure no one dares to go on that route again.Court martial is the right answer because the man still wants to be the President of pakistan and that of course from the back door as no one in their right minds would vote for him. The silent majority's pains will only be vindicated if all three Musharraf,Zardari and Sharif are thrown away into wilderness and never allowed to walk on Pakistani political stage.

Very strange coming from an Indian. I am glad that at least we have the courage to appreciate the good things in Pakistan like there are so many friends there who like to say good words for India.The Part I hope we forget that episode now.I visited my Ismaili friends recently in karachi and let me tell you it is no different from India. The weddings,the colourful ceremonies as if I had never left India. These politicians have created hatred so much in our hearts that we don't see that our hearts beat the same way. Why this curse on the sub continent. Please please these religious leaders please leave us alone and do not poison innocent minds for god's sake leave us peace and harmony. Anyway I am happy for my Pakistani brothers and sisters on bringing back Mr Chaudhry.

India and Pakistan are populated by people of the same stock. Both started off, courtesy Gandhi, as a demoCRAZIES by the tribe of lawyers and judicial parasites for/ of themselves. He invited partition?s agony to impose the rule of his protégé Nehru as per the choice of sponsoring tycoons. Over time, dacoits, crooks, scoundrels and murderers too have joined politics in India. The current lawyers' movement which has put Chaudhry at the helm will only accelerate the same process ? The military had applied some brake ? in Pak to match with India! Remember Chaudhry & Co are less a parasites than their Indian counterparts. They are of an elite class sponging off ordinary people who toil everyday. Ironically, many Indians forget that Nawaz Sharif who backs him is terrorist who tried to blow up a whole plane with over hundred schoolkids visiting Pak, only to get rid of Musharaf. Zardari, famous as Mr Ten per cent during Benazir's rule, is no less a villain. Both parties have been promoting war hysteria to prolong the agony of Kashmir in concert with scoundrels of India. Musharaf, currently sidelined, was one fellow to lend some stability to South Asia for the longest time. With Vajpayee, he started the process to give Kashmiris their due. Hopefully, the military will soon end the sham of democracy of the type that the western world understands (one-man-one-vote ). It is nonsense in Asian entities with teeming starving masses and huge backlog of social justice. Regimes that gave priority to advancement of this section over so-called democracy - like China, Singapore and Vietnam and now Burma and Nepal ? have made themselves fit for that type of democracy.

Ramesh, thank you for your comments.However that proves my point.Just like you I respect Gandhi for what he stood for. I am right in saying that the Indians like being rightous where it comes to other nations but when it comes to their own India there is no remedy. Tell me Ramesh despite all the drawbacks hasn't west managed to create fire walls in the name of free media who at least unearth and take these goon politicians to the task. In India it is like a lottery to have a criminal politician procecuted. Let me tell you I am proud of what India stands for but if the citizens understand the true value of freedom and how important it is to exercise the right of freedom. Every system has a drawback but we have to keep struglling until a level has been reached where even the poorest have the chance to achieve equal rights on merit.That is what Gandhi stood for if I am correct in thinking what freedom is.

What does democracy mean overall. Plural democracy means religious freedom is attached.Would India allow sharia laws for grass roots muslims in India.Does India allow grassroots vedic hindu laws i bet it does in most cases but we do not even understand that we really do discriminate on these grounds. However reasons aside i do agree with you that we need to clear the corrupt culture from our midst.I am willing to volunteer to join hands.

Are u sure about this.The Pakistan media congratulate more Nawaz Sharif than Chaudhry. I don't understand the mindset. They will not protest at honour killings, Wahhabi religious terrorism on their own people,The Wadera system which has its own prisons with so many poor farming communities as slaves , bombing of their own religious places the mosques by their own people, the police atrocities and all they want to come out in the street for reinstating the two dis qualified brothers who are destined to be the new caliphs of Pakistan. I don't see any revolution just hypocrisy. Your Geo Tv is now fighting for advertising from Govt. Army the evil monster is very much in control. This is all bad dream nothing has changed they will be fighting till the kingdom come this army and ISI will never give up what they have tasted.
IMTIAZ
what is so special about the judge. There wii be no change and sooner you Indians stop interfering in our affairs the better.We should be teaching you how to be a good citizen.Pakistan is a peace loving country and we never attack anyone still the world discredit us because you are friends and slaves of the western culture.You all hindus are slaves and will always be.
Ratansinh Kheira
well ! Pakistanis have hijacked our Gandhigiri ,and let them call it Jinnahgiri. if it helps to bring peace to the neighbours no one would be more happier than me sir.Let us fight our own election on the same lines and throw these criminal politicians out of our parliament.
abdul raff
so you have started to sing a different tune and you want to make us all redundant. Peace will never be achieved until Kashmir is solved and there is only one solution as Z Bhutto said to cut India by a thousand cuts.

you spend millions of ruppies to elect these criminal goons.Why don't you give it to the poor. Indians do not know what democracy is anyway otherwise why will they vote on caste,class,and religion basis.How can the world help you when you are not a united country.For you your religion,language,caste,and colour comes first and then your nationalism.Sorry guys you are only one match wonders.You had your Gandhi now shut up and stop lecturing the world and sort your house in order first.Get the criminal content out of your government first.
