The lawyers movement for restoration of the previously dismissed Chief Justice Iftikhar Chaudhry has always claimed that the movement was popular and had full support of the common Pakistani citizen. One of the spokespersons for the popularly called “Lawyers Movement” and currently the President of the Supreme Court Bar Association, Ali Ahmed Kurd, had frequently stated over numerous national TV programs that the “Pakistani Public” wanted the dismissed Iftikhar Chaudhry back as the Chief Justice. Ali Ahmed Kurd also claimed that the decision for re-instatement of Iftikhar Chaudhry would be made on the roads by the people. As per the spokesperson of the Lawyers Movement the eventual beneficiary was a common citizen of Pakistan.
Well most recently a video (shown below) of a 17 years old girl being publicly and brutally flogged by some extremists in Swat located in the Northern Areas of Pakistan has been aired on all Pakistani and international media screens.
The chief Justice has so far summoned the officials both from the federal and provincial governments on Monday April 6, 2009 and ordered production of the victim girl as well. The question that hovers on the mind of every common Pakistani is whether or how soon would the girl gets justice and the criminals are punished as per the law under the Constitution of Pakistan. Another question or rather fear that haunts a Pakistani is whether this incident would only end in the incident being tried and settled in the rogue extremist courts falsely labelled as Islamic courts and do not follow the Constitution of Pakistan.
