How Great Is The Darkness…
We all can remember the days when the lawyers’ movement was the heart beat of people of Pakistan because they strongly believed that the lawyers, in their black uniform, are not fighting for the sack of their self interests, but for the sack of 160 million people of Pakistan. They raised full-throated slogans for the independence of the judicial system to provide justice to the citizens and to perform it’s certain functions which are very necessary for the life and happiness of the citizens.
The same people, who chanted slogans for the freedom of the judiciary, are still suffering from injustice and knocking the doors of the courts for their rights and justice, even the justice providers are playing the same game with them.
The justice providers, – Oh GOD –, they do not feel shy – when we went the court for getting a signature on the affidavit. I got shocked because the man who is to protect our rights, asked us to pay him fee without any hesitation, as if he has fought a case for us.
Look this is the protection of our rights that the people who are to protect our rights and make justice, are snatching them. The money which they take from people, they have named their fee. Is this the real justice to the citizens?
If this is the justice of our independent judiciary, we pray to Almighty that HE shouldn’t have gotten us this blind one which has shut down its eyes towards the peoples’ problems and to make justice. Now who should punish the crime? The law has gotten blind and the lamp of justice has gone out darkness, how great is the darkness.
