Campaign to save the judiciary
A high level meeting of Pervez Musharraf, PML-Q led by former Interior Minister Faisal Saleh Hayat and Musharraf’s legal team, led by Sharifuddin Pirzada took place at the President’s house today. A source privy to the meeting informed us about the possible plans to derail the restoration of the judges that were discussed in today’s meeting. Suggestions included having a stay order against the working of the parliament, offering money and black-mailing members of PML-N and PPP (reminder: Faisal Saleh Hayat was a PPP member but joined PML-Q after having his multiple murder and corruption charges dropped). The judges have been promised to be restored by Nawaz Sharif by the 12th and we must actively oppose all possible moves to derail the process.
This is where we need your help. A few emails, sms-es and calls on your part can greatly help Pakistan and further the cause for the restoration of the only independent judiciary of Pakistan.

Just wanted to let you know that some of us are tired of the “wait-and-see” game and have decided to start agitating again:
“Aisay dastoor ko, subh-e baynoor ko, mai nahin manta, mai nahin janta” - Habib Jalib
Dear Students of Lahore:
Let us not remain silent while our principles are being bartered away. Legitimizing the PCO judges amounts to legitimizing Musharraf’s right to dismantle the judiciary on Nov. 3rd, to appoint judges of his choice, to single-handedly change the constitution. We cannot, in good conscience, accept this. We students may not have weapons or US backing like the establishment but we have the power to speak the truth. Let us use that power.
Join us for a peaceful protest and candlelight vigil on Thursday, May 8th at 6:30pm outside the PPP Secretariat in Faisal Town (near FAST).
To reaffirm that:
1. We demand the complete restitution of the pre-Nov. 3rd judiciary with all its powers and members.
2. We believe a simple executive order is enough to overrule the illegal actions of Musharraf.
3. We do not accept those who were inducted after the PCO (commonly known as PCO judges).
Our stance is in line with the opinion of all of the lawyers and bar councils of Pakistan, 21 former judges of the Supreme Court, 5 former Chief Justices of the Supreme Court and the vast majority of Pakistanis.
Organized by: Members of SAC, FASTRising, and Young Professionals Lahore, in solidarity with SAC Islamabad and the Emergency Times.
Directions to venue: At Kalma Chowk, coming from Liberty Market, head straight in the direction of Barkat Market. Pass Barkat Market. At the point where the road bifurcates, take the left arm, heading towards AIMC/Jinnah Hospital/PECO Road/Township. You’re now on Township Link Road. At the one and only roundabout on this road, take a left. Now Model Town is on your left and Faisal Town on your right. The PPP secretariat is just a little way along on the right, opposite from a PSO petrol station.

I think what you guys are doing is incredible. However, I would really appreciate it if I could be informed at least a couple of days in advance since I work at this time. I know there’s a protest on Sunday, but I really need to know what time asap so that I can plan my day in advance and make sure I can make it.
In complete solidarity.

While going through different blogs I heard the following quote by Martin Luther King, Jr.
“The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.”
For quite sometime now I am not satisfied with myself sitting out and playing safe in any emergency. I donot have apolitical agenda but I want to be counted in one particular community. Please mail me where and when in pindi should I join in on June 10th.
