Geo News -The Great Debate: Ahmad Raza Kasuri
After Wasi Zafar, another fine example of the great legal minds assisting the government. As a reminder, Ahmed Raza Kasuri is partly responsible for sending Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto to the gallows.
‘Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away.’
-The Beatles
Judgment day has come and gone, and a farce of a presidential election is a few days away. We are left sniffing tear gas and looking on in horror as journalists and lawyers are manhandled live on television, while the Information Minister smirks as he sees clouds of tear gas envelop the crowd outside. Not that this hasn’t happened in the past - midnight arrests, bans, gag orders and more have been a ritual with each government, but now even the thought of what tomorrow will bring makes me want to drown my sorrows in explosive cocktails. Tomorrow will be a better day..gah, tomorrow will be worse than today…because each day’s excesses makes the government think they can get away with just a little bit more than before.
And the saddest part is, they actually do.
