Yet another home-grown movement has achieved its objective. It has forced a civilian dictator to bow down to truth and justice and he had to restore the justice and judiciary in Pakistan. The Lawyer’s long, hard struggle for the independent judiciary has at last borne the fruit. They had started from just a few and yesterday they were accompanied by tens of thousands of people of Pakistan, Not Punjabis, not Pathans not Sindhis or Balochies but Pakistanis. I can only understand one reason for so many Pakistanis to come out and stand alongside the lawyers and that is: they believed that the cause was Just.
It can be said and it will be said that the politicians made them come out of their homes, yes! True but did politicians of Pakistan ever succeeded in putting up the show this big for a cause which was more social than political? The answer will definitely be big NO. Therefore, I feel that despite the presence of political motives of politicians, the people came out for justice and to up held the rule of Law.
Will there be a change in our society now, will the justice be swift and just and for everyone. I would say no, not so soon, but it’s a beginning. Change will be slow but it will be there. Revolutions do not come overnight as someone had said. It’s a first step too big.
I would salute to Nawaz Sharif who rose above personal motives and stood up for the Justice; At least he sounded and acted like one. I would Salute Aitzaz Ahsan, whose determination and belief in the success of the campaign never looked shaky. A true leader he proved. And I must not forget the thousands of lawyers, members of civil society, political workers and above all media, who contributed lots and lots in success of this movement.
I could only say this on the success of this movement “SHABASH PAKISTAN”.
