Musharraf and Dignity of women
All those people/NGOs who have been praising Musharraf and declaring him a ‘Sincere soul to Women’ and a Pro-women rights activists, I would like such people to go back in past and read what Musharraf had said about rape victims.
You must understand the environment in Pakistan. This has become a money-making concern.
A lot of people say if you want to go abroad and get a visa for Canada or citizenship and be a millionaire, get yourself raped.A lot of people say if you want to go abroad and get a visa for Canada or citizenship and be a millionaire, get yourself raped.
How a person with such mentality could be taken seriously as a savior of Women rights? Offcourse I don’t. He is not even a MULLAH you know! Mr President this is how you guys got chance to get Visas of different countries hmm?
Intresting part is that same NGOs and women activists who are favoring Musharraf now were cursing him an year back about his remarks. Hahahaa!
I know they all would be favoring Mush now because they found a law which has keywords like ISLAM and SHARIAH so they all have teamed up with Musharraf.
I have already made a post about Hudood law so wil not repeat again. I have not got chance to read the entire text of new WPB but does this bill covers:
- Banning of Karokari and WANNI and hanging fudals in public places.
- Banning of Dowry.
- Banning of Honour Killing.
- Banning of Watta Satta.
- Marrying with Quran.
If yes then Its a good move, If not then its nothing but a political game between lefts and rights.

I think you are criticising for the sake of criticism only.
Karokari, Wanni, etc: these things can be included in the legislation at any time, there will not be much, if any, opposition to them. These are not part of the ‘hudood law’ as such, as they are not mentioned in the Quran.
There are a thousands things that need to be fixed, but one thing at a time.
If Musharraf government has made some improvements in the interpretation of Hudood laws, why can’t you just be happy with this little step?

clair, welcome here.
No offense if I would have asked this on some other forum then I could be least bothered to answer you and ignored it due to your lack of Inforrrmation about the issue[yes you did reflect your knowledge about the issue] but since you’re on my site so I have to answer you.
I think you are criticising for the sake of criticism only.
No, I am criticising because I am cursing hypocrisy demonstrated by NGOs towards MUsharraf and Musharraf’s own vision about women.
Karokari, Wanni, etc: these things can be included in the legislation at any time, there will not be much
Either you’re not a Pakistani or you have no idea how many women suffer due to mentioned customs. Do bother yourself to make a read about different papers published in Pakistan then you would guess which issue is most harmful for our women. Women are not raped in cities like Karachi,Lahore etc. Most of women re abused in rural areas and it’s due feudal system of Pakistan. Mukhtaran is not a product of Hudood law,s he was raped due to a decision given by a Jirga of her village. Ialso ask you to read books like BLASPHEMY and MY FEUDAL LORD by Themina Durrani, ex wife of Feudal Ghulam Mustafa Kher.
Please please I request you to don’t reject something because you just HATE it.
why can’t you just be happy with this little step?
I am sorry but you’re also victim of media propaganda. If you can read urduu then visit ejang.jang.com.pk and read a two episodes article by Taqi Usmani to get what is new law and what was in old law, No i am not asking you to accept wht he has written but read with open brain and open eyes.
Cheers!

What the **** how can he say that i mean i don’t know the technicalities of your law or the customs but yes i am aware of the abuse of women in rural areas in Pakistan…and darn it how can a guy say that “You must understand the environment in Pakistan. This has become a money-making concern.” He is supposedly the first man of the nation he represents your country man …..this is heart breaking so disturbing …..(sigh)..this sentence is more than enough for someone like me to infer the actual scenario there….
