Support Musharraf: Emergency was required

Published by barirah,usman , Irfan S and Amir I on Nov 06, 2007

POSITION ON EMERGENCY DECLARATION:

The emergency is unfortunate, as Musharraf acknowledged in his address to the nation. However, it becomes understandable and perhaps necessary given the circumstances it was imposed under:

* The judiciary was openly challenging the writ of the government on every front, playing the role of a legislative arm. The parliament is the legislative arm – not the Judiciary.
* Extremism was growing by the day. Consider the Lal-Masjid saga and the recent conflict in Sawat, where Taliban and other extremist terrorists attacked the army, beheaded a number of soldiers, and replaced the Pakistani flag with their own.
* Individuals who were caught red-handed from the lal-masjid were immediately released by the CJ (Chief Justice) without looking at the submitted proof and evidence against them.
* Despite allowing Musharraf to take part in the Presidential elections, which he subsequently won, a petition against Musharraf's candidacy was still accepted and decision upon it delayed unnecessarily.
*The freedom granted to the media was being highly misused. Turn on any channel and you will find endless propaganda against Musharraf and the government. They are as “fair” and “balanced” as Fox news, openly calling the public to come out on the streets and spreading disinformation.

For these reasons, Pakistan was put in a state of emergency.

Please sign this petition to express your support for Pakistan and Musharraf. Let us not forget the past. The opposition parties are proven corrupt and have had their say over years of rule. Shariff and Bhutto have both proven disastrous for Pakistan over two terms of rule.

People of Pakistan, act responsibly, act in the interest of Pakistan. The only reason the supporters of this petition support Musharraf is because his agenda is the betterment of Pakistan. The facts are before you, research, ask questions, keeping the NATIONAL INTEREST OF PAKISTAN your top priority.
