Congratulations to all the protagonists, who do make up this wonderful saga named Pakistan. It is a day, when, one could sit back and mull over the great virtues of this nation.

They are tried and tested politicians who could give the party direct access across the districts of Pakistan in one fell swoop.  On the other hand they are former allies of Musharaf.  It's a dilemma but one worth entertaining.

Without a vision where justice is easily accessible, where a standardized school system will not disappoint, where basic health facilities are available, where peasants till their own land and the feudal lord has been decapitated, where men and women learn skills to become economically independent, where minds are taught to be progressive, to love and further knowledge, to make music, poetry, art, to create, without encouraging and establishing these ingredients and mechanisms, the war against barbaric Taliban terrorism cannot be won.

Are we tolerant?

Over centralization of power prevents a nation from becoming one.

Chairman Khan or Ahsan Rashid or Shabbir Sial will not directly gain something by fighting it out against the government for the restoration of the judges.

Shabbir Sial stated that success at this rally will be an everlasting symbol of defiance against the oppressive order that has wrecked the fabric of the nation apart.

Students should never be taken for granted or patronized. 

Justice is not confined to one group, one religion or one sect.  It is a cause of all humanity.

Liaqat Jatoi's humiliation during his first election campaign. 

The only reason the rulers have not run away in droves is their faith in the lack of accountability.

Can we assume Musharaf has developed a conscious or the fear of Allah and would leave if he could guarantee his security? 

It is in moments like these that you need strong institutions to withstand the loss of leaders.  We don’t have any institutions and have lost the most popular leader.
