SPARC strongly condemned the evacuation of Juveniles offenders from Borstal Jail Bahawalpur:

Ongoing emergency has not only affected the common people but Juvenile inmates confined in Borstal Bahawalpur also fell a victim to this situation. There were eighty Juvenile Inmates confined in the Borstal who are being shifted to the Central Jail Bahawqalpur so that Borstal could be used for confining Lawyers arrested from different Districts of Punjab on taking part in agitation against government. In Central Jail, no juvenile’s lockups exist. So for more than one hundred Lawyers has been transported to Borstal Bahawalpur for their confinement. The juveniles will be forced to live with adults prisoners and they will be badly affected. Society for the Protection of the Rights of the Child (SPARC) condemns this situation and demand for release of all children and lawyers and probe authorities for the captivity of the rights of those children. SPARC strongly criticizes the state of emergency and calls it unconstitutional and illegal.

It is amazing how the US does not fight a single battle at home but routinely fight proxy wars with those that threaten in lands far away. They are the ones who supported Musharraf and surely knew enough to realize that he, in purported national and self-interest stops well short of being a stooge. The US were the ones to create the Islamic jehadist monster through its arming of the Mullahs in Afghanistan. Their support for the corrupt regimes in Saudi and Kuwait is a disgrace. THe lesser said about Iraq, the better. Even in Iraq, I am sure that the size of the US military contingent is not the largest. Unless the US stops using money to export trouble to already troubled parts of the globe, things are going to slide irrevocably into chaos and anarchy. And this too, as has historically been the case, will turn around and bite the US in its ass. Which might just be the only good thing to come out ofthis whole sordid saga.

Musharraf is a self-serving and cunning man is an acknowledged fact. He is willing to stoop down to any level, strike any deal, connive with anybody, kill and jail whomsoever he feels threatened with and trample the rule of the land with impunity to be in power.

He refuses to see beyond his self interest. The good of Pakistan or its people is the last thing in his mind.

History teaches us that dictators meet a sad end. Mush’s fate is sealed and his end is near.

In Tobasco

Right now
Everything’s in a fiasco in Tobasco.
Right now
There’s no tobacco in Tobasco.
Right now
No one goes to Tobasco’s discos.
Right now
Time stops and from the housetops
Voices shout and yelp for help.
Right now
Everyone fears the rain, which–again–
Has shown its clout.
But flood or drought,
The looters are out:
They don’t care of what the flood’s made,
They loot even food aid.
And that’s the Man we are:
We cry when the fire is near
And laugh when we are afar.
Right now
The Taleban thrive in Pakistan.
They strive to drive everyone mad in Islamabad.
But Benazir and Perviz
Buzz like flies and hum like bees,
Each cries for a better Pakistan.
You’ve got to impose Martial Law
If you wanna hope for a prize
From Oslo.
But that’s the Man we are:
We cry when the fire is near
And laugh when we are afar.
