A movement brewing in Pakistan?

[vinod]

MashaAllah! I've read a little about a movement brewing in Pakistan by the judiciary and the journalists for the rule of law and democracy. For once, I hear voices of sanity from Pakistan. That is great news!!

Junaid and any other Pakistani on the forum, pls give me an update on how that is going. Is it really big? Can it be expected to continue and make a difference? Or will it just die down like everything else?

Was-salam

Pakistans Permanent Revolution
Yasser Latif Hamdani
March 28, 2007

At the heart of this issue confronting the predominantly Muslim nation, Justice Rana Bhagwandas on whom all eyes are focused. That he is a top Pakistani judge with impeccable integrity who happens to be a Hindu makes these turn of events even sweeter. Apparently the prospect of having a Hindu chief justice has not gone down well with the Islamists, some of whom have tried to turn a purely secular issue of judicial independence into a theological issue. And yet the people of Pakistan understand that is Bhagwandas alone with sufficient credibility and acumen to resolve the constitutional crisis that has brought the entire Pakistani judicial system to its knees.
