Dec 18

I saw the attached picture in the news today, it reflects quite nicely on Musharraf’s view of Enlightened Moderation (It should be noted that I am not against the concept of enlightened moderation).


Islamabad, Dec 17, 2007
Attached is a picture of police beating up women protesters in Islamabad on Monday Dec 17 outside a private television’s office.

If the emergency has been lifted, why is police permitted for such shameful acts? A news paper (Nawa-i-Waqt to be specific) says the honorable magistrate specifically instructed police to target journalists, is that justifiable? Had the police officials been punished (in accordance with the verdict of SC prior to Nov 3), these gentlemen would know some respect for the public (women at least)
