An Open Letter to President of Pakistan
An Open Letter to President of Pakistan
To,
The President,
Islamic Republic of Pakistan,
Dear Sir,
I hope that you are doing fine with your foreign tours amidst the national crisis. I am a citizen of Pakistan and supported your nomination by the ruling PMLN for the office of Presidency. I think that by nominating you for the top most designation of Pakistan, we can somehow equalize the foreign success stories of those who are elected from the lower ranks of our nation. The intentions of this open letter is to put my sentiments on record.
Mr. President , you know better than me that the office of the presidency is not a party office. The office of the President is a symbol of unity of federation. A federation that comprises four provinces, FATA, ICT and autonomous areas. You are the custodian of federation and it is your responsibility to play your role in ending this current crisis.
Mr. President , two of the parties have their own grievances. They decided to hold a long march to Islamabad. They came, they sit-in, they used harsh remarks against the ruling party, the democratic system of Pakistan and the constitution of our beloved country, but your office response was none. Your office never approached any of the party to act as a moderator. The violent terrorist mob attacked the national institutes, they stormed into the elected parliament, they robbed the building of PTV, a national strategic asset, but you paid no heed in showing your concern. Your office decided not even approached the ruling party, leave aside the possibility of contacting the protesters. Instead, you went on a foreign visit with no agenda at all. While you were enjoying a trip in Turkey, the crisis went deeper. Army chief was asked to act as a facilitator, but you despite being the supreme commander of armed forces remained muted.
Mr. President, i being a citizen of Pakistan have a right to ask you why ? Why on earth Mr. President, your role was so passive in this whole drama. You as a symbol of united federation should have called Imran Khan, Tahir ul Qadri and the PM Mian Nawaz Sharif along with the opposition leader. You could have asked them to come to presidency or you could have gone to them in order to avoid the damage to federation. But your constant silence shocked thousands of democrats like me. People like me who vowed to have supremacy of Parliament and rule of Law.
Mr. President, the day you were elected as the President of Pakistan, you were no more a PMLN worker. You took an oath for the protection of federation, but sadly, history, which can't be undone, has marked your disinterested behavior in this whole episode. You never summoned the meeting of important stake holders because you still consider yourself a PMLN worker, who is still under the wight of gratification of the PM, who is also the president of ruling PMLN.
Mr. president the federation of Pakistan is your responsibility, we the citizens of Pakistan are your citizens. You owe us an answer on this don't disturb mode. You did not played your role and i being a citizen of Pakistan want to know, under the rights of information act, what halted you to raise your voice and act accordingly in this whole time of crisis.
I hope that your stay in this presidency will be pleasant, while the country's capital is still resonating with anti state activists.
Regards
Hadeed Ahmed Sher

Chronicles of October 1999 Military Coup - Part I
Part I | Sorting the Bastard out
By Engr. Hadeed A Sher

After the June 24, 2013 speech of PM Mian Nawaz Sharif in National Assembly, very few were expecting that practical steps will be taken for the trail of former military dictator Gen Musharraf. Government against all the odds, opted for the proper procedure of trying Musharraf under article 6 of the constitution of Pakistan. After doing their home work the interior ministry wrote a formal letter to the Ministry of Law and Justice to formulate a special court for conducting the treason case. The Ministry of Law and Justice after going through the due procedures constituted a three member bench under the captaincy of Justice Faisal Arab. The establishment of a special court stunned those who were calling the June 24 speech a political gimmickry. A lot has been said since the establishment of the court, mostly from those who never peeped inside the historical perspectives. Author of this blog spent a lot of time investigating the circumstances of the military coup of '99 and would like to register the facts in this digital world. This first part of this blog will point out the pre-October 12 '99 situation and what exactly was the ground situation of politics then.
Prior to October 12, the most flabbergasting issue floating on the political surface of Pakistan was the Kargil fiasco. A lot has been written on the Kargil fiasco and despite the fact that during the Kargil misadventure it was Mian Nawaz Sharif who was held responsible for the "defeat" of Pak army. Later on, after few years, when the dust settled it was revealed that Gen Musharraf and his triumvirate was responsible for the deaths of thousand of Pakistani soldiers across the LoC. The inane operation in the mountains of Kargil however, created a lot of misunderstanding between the bloody civilian government and the pious military clan.
Waiting for 2 more days, Mian Nawaz Sharif finally dismissed the CoAS following the constitutional formalities, although he could had waited for his return to Pakistan. What happened on October 12, 1999 will be discussed in the next part.
