Is It Democracy?

I condemn the arests of those who are fighting for rule of law in Pakistan.What the government has got from Tahira Abdullah, a woman of 55 years and so many political workers , lawyers as well civil society activists... Just jihad for Rule of Law in pakistan....If it is crime then we all are criminal.....

A massive crackdown on the opposition parties and lawyers was launched on Tuesday midnight across the country to foil the long march and sit-in.Hundreds of activists of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), the Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) and lawyers were rounded up, while a large number of political and lawyer leaders went into hiding.PML-N Chairman Raja Zafarul Haq was placed under house arrest at his sector G-7 residence in Islamabad. Raja Zafar, also a newly-elected senator, said he had received no detention orders but the police locked the gate to his residence from outside at 3am. He said he had heard that Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani had taken note of the incident and would intervene in the matter.

Former SCBA President Aitzaz Ahsan said the government could not foil the long march and the sit-in would be held at all costs. District Bar Association President Taufiq Asif said he had escaped arrest because he was not present at his house. “Caravans will reach Rawalpindi on March 15 then they all would proceed towards Islamabad via the Benazir Bhutto Road,” he added.
Agencies add: The Punjab government has decided to deploy Army in 30 districts and Rangers in 11 districts of the Punjab, Online reported. However, Punjab Home Secretary Rao Iftikhar Ahmad told reporters that the Army had not been deployed in any part of the province while the Rangers were on standby to maintain law and order.


Containers have been placed at borders of Sindh, Punjab and Balochistan to stop caravans. The caravan coming from Balochistan would be stopped near Jacobabad at the Sindh-Balochistan border while caravans coming from different areas of Sindh and Balochistan would be stopped at Kashmore.
All these actions are hsameful and Condemnable.
