I hope this is not true! Very concerned! Imran Riaz should be released immediately! This situation is not going to help anyone! @OfficialDGISPR @USCGLahore @ccpolahore @PTIOfficialLHR

Supreme Court deserves thanks for still being alive! But Supreme Court, High Courts, Bar Associations, Lawyers, Academics and all feeble minded intellectuals should be grateful to those bold young men of KP and Punjab who sacrificed their lives to uphold the moral order of a society, its courts and constitution. Almost 50 young men died facing up to the forces of tyranny across Pakistan! Since there is no dearth of idiots in the so called "Educated Pakistan" let me remind them that almost a quarter million men and women died in American Civil War that ended slavery. In limited reading of law, slave states of South had the right to secede and continue with their tyranny on the black slaves. What Abraham Lincoln and North fought was a moral principle. All laws and constitution flow out from the force of morality. These are issues which Muslim world has never understood! And most good lawyers in Pakistan miss out. Lawyers talk of supremacy of the courts, ultimate arbiters of constitution. But forget that constitution and its interpretation depends upon the "moral force" of a society. Now "pseudo intellectuals" (and educated on father's money) are crying that the young men who challenged forces of tyranny on streets were hooligans even forgetting that in most instances they faced "straight shots" (shoot to kill, which itself raises difficult questions). Pseudo intellectuals are more dangerous because they confuse people through their powerful sounding titles. They forgot the series of tyrannical actions by the authorities in Pakistan from April 2022, when police vans were brought outside parliament for intimdiation. In May 2022, 4,400 houses across Punjab were raided, doors broken and men, women and children thrashed under misapplication of colonial era draconian laws. Murder of TV Anchor Arshad Sharif, Assassination attempt on Imran Khan, arrests & torture of journalists, politicians, political workers and hundreds of acts of brute tyranny & wickedness, violating law, repudiating courts and trashing constitution and even long held conventions. All this unleashing of brute tyranny and wickedness has totally destroyed the "moral order" of Pakistani society. And finally the images of "brute tyranny of Imran Khan kidnap" that had totally broken the very concept of "Rule of Law" fractured the society and unleashed those angry young men who are less corrupt than the old married men. Bertrand Russel had explained in his books that how men under 30 or 35 are less corrupt, bold and believe in a better world. Old men are often compromised. In case of Pakistan plots and farm houses have corrupted old men and blinded them to their responsibilities to a market of under paid workers that makes them rich. Those who protested and sacrificed their lives (True Shaheeds in Pakistan's painful struggle for Human Rights and liberal democracy) have helped restore the forgotten "Rule of Law" and have given strength to Supreme Court for doing a small tiny right thing. But courts are terribly weak and compromised, now its the job of Bar Associations, lawyers and media to identify the "eternal truths" which underlie the so called "law and Constitution" - Had lawyers, Bar Associations and Judges played their role then those 50 young men would not have died, Army and people would not have faced each other on streets! But a terribly weak Supreme Court has only attempted to bring some semblance of "Rule of Law" and has momentarily saved the realm. Will we save ourselves depend upon political process; the only way forward is for Establishment to play a constructive role in producing political consensus towards a "Free, Fair, Transparent & Credible Elections" - Supreme Court had tried that, but Establishment failed it; still time to "Correct"; will explain all this and more in my next Vlog. Wait!
