A sad day for justice and democracy in Pakistan
by Khalid Hashmani, McLean
It is indeed a sad day for democracy and justice in Pakistan. Even though the policies of PML-N in general and Nawaz Sharif in particular have been anti-Sindhi and anti-provincial autonomy, the recent actions by the controversial judges of the Pakistan Supreme Court and subsequent imposition of Governor’s rule in Punjab should be unfit.
Taking one step forward to restore democracy and justice in Pakistan and two steps back does not bode well for the future of Pakistan. The same politics of agitation and supressing opposition of yester years continues to prevail, bringing Pakistan one step closer to becoming a failed state.

I appreciate Khalid Hashmani for condemning, like majority in Pakistan and in rest of the world, the decision of the PCO-packed Supreme Court declared Sharifs disqualified. But I do not know where did Mr. Hashmani get this impression from that the policies of PML-N in general and Nawaz Sharif in particular have been anti-Sindhi and anti-provincial autonomy?
I mean, just grow up.
