Mrs. Amina Massood is just one more reason why General Musharaff should not be known for his brutality but for perverted shamelessness. And if your pappy works for the Civil or military establishment you should take a minute to tell him what I am about to tell you.
On July 30 2005, Mrs. Amina husband was picked by the security apparatus for being a terrorist and it was all in thing air till that time. The man who provided for her and her children simply disappeared and has not returned to date. She claims that her husband has been taken by the ISI. Now we don’t know if he was the reincarnations of the devil or just a plain guy who like me could not keep his mouth shut. But the fact of the matter is that nothing is know about his wear abouts. The government has not recovered him. Then one days Mrs. Masood lost her cool and protested outside the offices of the ISI, the only logical place where she should have done it and as a citizen of Pakistan has a right to do. How dangerous can a woman in her 40s with two children be?
Now for the part that really disgusted me. While she protested the police came and took her 16 year old son away. This would have been just another atrocity but before they took him into the police station they took of his shalwar and handed it to his mother. In shock it takes her a few seconds to realize what had happened. It took me a while as well. Since that time I have been filled with a feeling of disgust.
These are the same dirty people whom you and I pay good money to keep employed. These are the people who are expected to protect my wealth, honor and family. And yet it is these same people who are perpetuating the most disgusting crimes in the country. And when the Chief Justice took his action in order to protect the citizens it was our supreme protector who came on television and told us that it was our privilege to be tortured by the government and those that complain are just being unthankful.
I watched the video again and thanked the Lord that my father was just a simple English teacher who choose to stay out of establishment. By the way what does your Pappy do?

Agreed what the police did was wrong. Put surely this says more about the police than the President of Pakistan. I don't know about you, but I am Pakistani. I have to ask..have you not seen the police harshness during the time of shareef or bhutto?
Perhaps its time we stop blaming Musharraf for the action of any harsh ill mannered police officer and realise that the police has its many faults INDEPENDENT of any government.
Salaams.
