November 3………Lawyer’s Black Day
On November 3, 2007 General Pervaiz Musharraf imposed emergency and ousted 62 Judges of the higher court you will read many critique on it therefore I want to show you the lighter side of it .
Once I was reading an article about first clean sweep series loss of WI against England and in it they said that it was a white wash on WI (then I was in class fourth).I thought that it means that their faces were black therefore they were white washed as if some one wants to humiliate any one their faces must be black washed. In those days a white team got a clean sweep and at once I thought they will be black washed or it would be called a black wash but to my astonishment in the newspapers it was also called as whitewash for a long time I thought that that it was by a mistake.
Today when Asma Jahingir asked that the lawyers will lift flags and wear black arm bands this very thought came into my mind that they should wear white bands instead of black band. It will have two effects (i) it will be of contrast colour and will be seen easily (ii) it will express peace sign as it is for peace that lawyers are peaceful community but if they are pushed by any one they will react like they have reacted in the previous years.
The call for strike was rejected by Asma Jahingir there for in my opinion it was obligatory for all lawyers. As it will remind us of the action taken by President General Pervaiz Musharraf and the importance of it (the stress is on President and on it).he was once President and so much of powers that he has done something horrible in the country that we are still remembering this day as black day.
Once a person was caught by police in times when British ruled India, he was trying to provoke people to rise against Government. when the government came to know it ordered to release him as soon as quickly .when asked why the reply was that if we hold him for some day he will become a leader and we don’t want to increase the leaders so dear lawyers don’t try to make him a leader again
It is Pakistan’s history that the most discussed and most condemned person becomes the leader. I don’t want to create problems for my self by giving examples from politics there fore take this for many, you will be aware of Misbah-ul-Haq.he was not selected in the team for many year and was discussed he came in and out of the team many times. In the recent England tour he was left out because of not performing well, he was again discussed and every one thought that it was a good decision and his career is over now you can see he is the leader of the team.
In the end I want to tell that I discussed this with one shopkeeper he said the protest is the waste of time and energy (of lawyer and also of public) .it will produce many hard ship of public also. He said that it is also a lesson for the present government that if they continue to do like this, it all will happen to them. People may witness a black day on 18 February
