Is this Pakistan’s Democratic Revolution?

But thanks for reminding me of it, it was one of the wittiest and funniest ilogs I ever wrote and the way you fumbled for a response, I could imagine what your face would have looked like when you read it....ROTFL!

Harry,
Watch out for the bricks. :) Some are flying, others are merely dropping.

Dear Harish mian

``looks like still haven`t forgotten the insults very easily`` .... ``wittiest and funniest ilogs I ever wrote... fumbled for a response``

Aww... that was supposed to be funny? I suppose a professional inside joke because most normal people don`t abuse their mothers. Btw you never did answer if you looked like your father instead?

Re: # 114

Story of Harish mian`s life really.

Hahaha! I can see why Yasser`s chaddis are on fire...perhaps it brought back painful memories of what started off as his attempts to insult my family members, but ended up insulting his own mother and wife...ROTFL!

But you see they owe their existence in politics to the mobilisation that Gandhiji brought to them..


just like the entire country of Pakiland owes it`s existence to the racist-etc-etc policies of racist-etc-etc gandhi...

#36 tolkinin from ``A Nation Reborn`` Thread {``A leader of a faction of the Jamaat Uleman Islami, Maulana Sami-ul-Haq, criticised the move to make Das the acting chief justice. A non-Muslim cannot head the supreme court in an Islamic country as a non-Muslim cannot head the government, Haq said.
...Das is the only one among the supreme court judges who has a masters degree in Islamic law. ``}

Tolkinin,
Shri Bag One Dash ki Jai! :)
In my opinion, he is well-qualified to be CJ or even President. The only thing I have against Shri Bag One Dash is his education in Islamic Law - the term itself is an oxymoron. :)

As to my response to Maulana Sammy Owl Hack, I can only say:
``I will agree with you about a non-Muslim not being able to hold the highest offices ONLY if you are prepared to declared all Paki Punju Paindoos as non-Muslims - not just the Ahmedi ones.``

#118 Harry,
Aap ki inayat he. :)

When things are going so badly, the best recourse is humor. Unlike the PPPs, I am a realist and don`t believe in self-delusion (or throwing bricks for that matter). Thanks.

Re: # 67
Where are students, housewives, farmers, dock workers? So far it looks like there are only a bunch of elites fighting to preserve their rights. A vast majority seems to be silent and might sway either way depending upon who becomes more powerful

#364 Imperio from the ``Pakistan - rude, screwed, and tattooed`` thread {``Punjab is eating Pakistan and propagating to be the saviour of Pakistan. I m afraid you will not be succeeded this time.

I also request my fellow young Muhajirs to fight for our rights and reject this terrorist MQM party. Our forefathers have done great mistakes by creating Pakistan and we have already suffered a lot. Now its time to only think for ourselves.``}

Imperio Sahib,
Thank you for your frank and resolute remarks. I agree with you - even about not following MQM, Altaf Payee, Mushy, or anyone else blindly. We need to think for ourselves, help our people out of poverty and discrimination. Mohajirs have plenty of resources - especially overseas. Many Mohajirs are working actively and donating generously for the ``unofficial`` repatriation of ``stranded`` Pakis in BD - commonly referred to as ``Biharis`` by the Punjaibis as a form of collective insult. We will succeed Inshallah. To hell with Paki Punjab. All other people in Pakistan (Pathans, Baluchis, Sindhis, Kashmiris, Gilgit Baltistanis, Mohajirs, and even Saraikis) want an end to Paki Punju Paindoo domination.

#123
Other than some men and women in black and white in Lahore, Islamabad, and a few other cities, most Pakis are more concerned about daily living, education, business, and how to make money iin a booming economy. In fact, most Pakistan (including the Saraikis of Southern Punjab) are fed up with paindoo antics such as throwing bricks and worse.

the elites are only fighting because they really hate the fact that they`ve lost their honor and dignity™..what with all the greasing up and bending over they`ve had to do to the US..

Shri Bag One Dash is from Sind :)

Early life
Rana Bhagwandas was born on December 20, 1942 into a Hindu family in Sindh. He studied law and received a Masters degree in Islamic studies. He joined the bar in 1965 and after two years of practising law, joined the Pakistani Judicial System in 1967. Later, he became a sessions judge, and subsequently, a judge of the Sindh High Court. He is not a fan of cricket, but remains a supporter of the Pakistan cricket team.


Judicial career
Rana Bhagwandas was promoted to the Sindh High Court in 1994. In 1999, his appointment to the superior judiciary was challenged by a constitutional petition (no. 1069/1999) against the Government of Pakistan and Judge Bhagwandas. The petition demanded that the judicial bench consisting of Judge Bhagwandas should be declared unconstitutional because of Bhagwandas` religion, claiming that only Muslims can be appointed to the superior judiciary. The petition was rejected, and the petitioner was condemned by other judges of the high court and by a significant number of lawyers.

In 2000, he joined the Supreme Court of Pakistan after taking an oath of allegiance to Musharraf`s administration. Justice Bhagwandas took strong note of a kidnapping case involving a girl in NWFP forced to be a prostitute for four years. A believer in the sanctity of the Constitution of Pakistan and its legal system, Bhagwandas maintains that the law is equal for all religious communities in Pakistan. While staunchly defending Pakistan`s society and legal system against charges of bias and suppression of minorities, Bhagwandas is also a vocal opponent of the infamous practice of honour killings of women in the provincial rural areas.

For the 2006-2007 judicial year, Justice Bhagwandas is a member of the second bench of justices which also is home to Justice Nasir ul-Mulk and Justice Syed Jamshed Ali.

Chief justice
Justice Bhagwandas has served as acting Chief Justice twice - first in 2005 while Chief justice Iftikhar Chaudhry was on a ten day trip to the People`s Republic of China and then again in December 2006, when the latter was on a Haj pilgrimage. He was the first Hindu and the second non-Muslim (after A. R. Cornelius) to serve in this post. On February 8, 2005 Chief Justice Rana Bhagwandas was honoured with ``Siropa`` (robe of honour) during his maiden visit to Harimandir Sahib in Amritsar, India. He was on a private visit to Amritsar, Ropar and Chandigarh with Justice Khalil-ur Rehman Ramdev, another judge of the Pakistan Supreme Court and his wife. It is not clear if Bhagwandas will actually succeed Chief Justice Iftikhar Chaudhry though; Bhagwandas is slated to retire in December 2007, after attaining the age of 65, while Chaudhry`s retirement is slated for 2013.

On December 28, 2006 Bhagwandas became acting judge again while the Chief Justice Chaudhury was on hajj.

Recent Controversy
On March 9, 2007, Pakistan President General Pervez Musharraf declared Chief Justice Chaudhary ``non-functional`` and forwarded a reference against him to the Supreme Judicial Council (SJC) of Pakistan. While Justice Bhagwandas should have taken his place as Acting Chief Justice, his whereabouts remain untraceable at the moment. On March 15, 2007 a petition was filed in the Supreme Court urging the Pakistan Government to declare his whereabouts. There have been unconfirmed reports that he is being held incommunicado by the Government or is in the ``protective`` custody of Pakistan`s intelligence agencies. His brother, Sri Chand, in Pakistan says that Bhagwandas went on a visit to India and since then the family has not heard from him. It has since been learnt (March 20) that he is meditating in the Indian city of Lucknow, and is due to return to Pakistan on March 23. He is aware of events transpiring in Pakistan.

re: tahmed2

Whether the reference is ``nonsense`` or not, is a matter for the Supreme Judicial Council to decide, not us. Let`s repose our faith in Judges Bhagwandas, A.H. Dogar, Raza Khan, Iftikhar Hussain and Sabihuddin.
