We are getting off-topic and I think there should be a separate topic for that one day. But, hey, it's PDF so...
No. I stand my ground. CALLING for mutiny in the armed forces is not an act of sedition. Why should that be a threat? Are the Armed Forces of Pakistan THAT amenable to the media calls, especially by an obviously ignorant person like Mr. Rizvi? Similarly, criticizing decisions of judges is not a prosecutable offense. Are the judges angels?
A nation, which disallows dissent, goes into intellectual inbreeding. As I see it, Pakistan is well ahead of India and many countries in press freedom and intellectual discourse--Indian press often makes me PUKE! And it's healthy for Pakistan to be such...
And, no, no one granted us 'pseudo liberals' freedoms. Pakistani society has evolved. People like General Musharraf--a very liberal person at heart-- clearly saw that General Zia ul Haq's era was over. Musharraf let the evolution continue. So the freedoms in Pakistan are natural: They have come to fruition because of the evolution of the Pakistani society. I will, however, remain grateful to the Pak Armed Forces for their sacrifices in tackling terrorism.
