Clashes as Musharraf sworn in
Violent clashes broke out last night in Lahore between police and lawyers after President Pervez Musharraf was sworn in for a second term. Demonstrators threw bricks, glasses and sticks at police who blocked the path of about 200 lawyers as they tried to march from one court complex to another.
This really has become a farce, Musharraf sacks the Judges who won’t endorse his ‘election’ because he was still in charge of the military at the time of his ‘election’, replaces the Judges who said no with a bunch of judges who will say yes and hey presto democracy a la Pakistan. I don’t wish to sound cynical but if this is what we in the west have to side with in our war against terror for democracy, we lost.
