Keeping all my personal reservations aside for today, I would like to congratulate the people who genuinely came out on the streets to demand the restoration of their Chief Justice. I wish them all the best and pray that their hopes become a reality and my fears fail me for good. And I wish that this would be a turning point in our people’s history so that wherever and whenever injustice takes place whether from the Baltoro glacier to the coastline of Jeewani they always come out and raise their voice to protest it. I hope that judicial activism would prevail at all levels and especially at the district courts [‘Kuchehri’] level, where widespread corruption is well known to everyone.
I expect people not to build huge towers of hopes so that it would become hard for them to come to terms with reality if, their expectations falter. Having too much and many expectations can be detrimental as well. When this entire hullabaloo would die down, people need to realize that this restoration wouldn’t be a panacea for all our ills. They can ill-afford to pin all their hopes on just one instrument of the state, there cannot be a sole solution. In their enthusiasm they shouldn’t overlook the fact, that there’s a parliament, which is also responsible to introduce legislations. The significance of the parliament and parliamentarians is paramount for the sustainability of the state and state is the most sacred of all, and it should be kept in mind that no institution or individual can be more powerful than the state.
Do celebrate without abondoning yourself to it but at the same time, proactively, exercise some cautious optimism.
May God bless Pakistan.
