Musharraf’s definition of Women rights
Pakistni President Musharraf who signed Women Protection Bill almost two months backed promised Pakistan women to give them equal rights like men and would empower them. According to mentioned news source :
He also mentioned the role of Muslim women during the “ghazwas” [battles] and said the government was committed to restore the dignity, honour and self- esteem of women, as accorded to them by Islam
AND Musharraf’s Goldren words:
Our Constitution accords equal rights, irrespective of caste, creed or sex, and we are here to put this in practice,” he added
And when I saw the above picture of women who were being beaten up by women police, I was forced to agree with the general’s words that Women of Pakistan have been empowered and they have been given equal rights like Pakistani men this is why they are being abused taken care by Pakistani police similar way on roads like they treat Pakistan men. Look at both pictures given above, do you find any difference? offcourse not so congrats that we have given equal rights to our women and now they can “enjoy” same “luxuries” like Pakistani men. Ignore what Mush said earlier, it was nothing but slip of toungue otherwise who else could have more pain for women than our Musharraf?
Many people like me who have grown up in Zia era would have to admit that they wouldn’t find any difference in the abusing of Pakistani citizens. What a weird fate has been associated with pakistan peoples party, first they were targetted by a “religious” dictator Zia who tortured their party members and NOW “secular” musharraf’s govt who is screwing them badly. Poor PPP, got sandwitched between two dictators. Remove the urdu caption and one wouldn’t be able to guess that whether this pic was taken last week of Jan-2007 or 20/22 years back during Zia era.
As I say that dictator will always be a dictator no matter whatever sweet name you associate with him, he will not quit his path neither he would learn lessons from previous dictators.
If you are wondering about the above pic of semi naked guy, I would ask you to visit Adil and Awab who mentioned in their respective blogs a month ago.
