The Long March

Been sometime since I last posted. Not that anyone reads what I write here, but when, and if I do, its just to let out what ever’s bothering me… regarding the current state of affairs of course.

So the “Long March” is on in Pakistan. After two rather peaceful days (by Pakistani standards), the true face of the way protests are carried out and handled in Pakistan was very visible today, but with something that hasn’t been seen before… which I will come to later.

Seems like almost all Pakistanis, or almost all Pakistanis, have come to a consensus on one thing: The deposed judges must be restored and Zardari must be ousted. What’s strange is, even the hardcore PPPites seem to have come to an agreement with the lawyer’s movement and Nawaz league on this.

Sherry Rehman, one of the greatest loyalists of Benazir, resigned as the minister of information day before yesterday. Now THAT shows you the actual state of affairs in Pakistan. What I mean to say is, this act goes on to show you the rift within the ruling party. Prime Minister Gillani has been silent for the past two days. The only barking dog on the government’s side is Rehman Malik right now. And it’s a known fact that he is definitely the most hated man in the country right now after Zardari himself.
