State Of Emergency In Pakistan

So, it's that time of the decade again when Pakistan has to live under A Marshall Law/State of Emergency dictatorship. 1958, 1978, 1998 and this time it has come around rather quick for the comfort of the politicians, not that it ever went away since 1998. No reason has been given so far but CNN and BBC have reported that it's because of law and order situation in Pakistan. We know fully well that it's only to extend his Rule. The Chief justice has aparently been arrested and the media suspended.

Ah.... what else is new... seems like Pakistan has a way of digging themselves a hole time and again. It;s throughly depressing to see this happen specially with a figure head who has time and again denied such intentions.This jsut goes to show how easy it is to use the military muscle and use it to your advantage when a military ruler is in power... A democratic government would have had to go through major hurdles to impose anything like this. All a dictator has to do is ask his troops to move in and take control of everything.

Then again it's not all that depressing knowing Pakistan's history.. knowwing fully well that more the things change, more they remain the same. Pakistan has seen this far too often and the life has still continued. People here have found a way to disconnect themselves from the political drama and carry on with their normal lives... Sure, every slightest political move is discussed in details on every corner of every street, cafe, barber's, taxis, work and any other imaginable place where 2 people can congrigate, but... It seems that people are unflatered by all these going ons... after all who would want to raise a voice infront of a man with a gun????
