		<description>Bravo!!! Excellent!!! Marvellous….

At least someone out of this silent crowd stood out and accepted what he thought was wrong on his side. I believe it is a revolution we all have been waiting and wanting for long enough now. I really appreciate your stand and your wisdom to call for something this nation has never heard before even; an apology. An apology for self mistakes, for self correction, for self restoration. Our senses have long just vanished away. We remain quite for no matter what happens. We are unmoved when a sitting Prime Minister is Hanged, or a Sitting Chief Justice is Attacked, or When a Sitting CJ is sacked of his duties because he chose to deny the dictator of his un lawful actions and stood fast that he has taken oath to make sure the safety and security of the people not to unsafe and harm them. Some one here said that Chaudry Iftekhar can not be a symbol of freedom of judiciary when he himself validated all the criminal injustice to the constitution of Islamic Republic of Pakistan.
I in this regard disagree. Yes he has committed mistakes but even he is a human being and to err is human. No one in this world is perfect. But what matters is that great people always retrieve, revive and strive to undo the damages caused by their previous blunders. Chaudry Iftekhar is not the sign of the independence of judiciary or he is not even right to assume that everything will take a U turn after his restoration as the Chief Justice of Pakistan; but having said it all he for sure is a hope that our nation needed. Independence of judiciary does not signify that everything has changed and all good things will happen now, but it’s an alarm for us that finally things have started to happen. Its time to move on now. A change has come. The Civil Society, the political workers, the lawyers and the media for the first time in the history have come together on one single agenda. An agenda to put Pakistan first. Now its time for us to change too. Its change that we need to bring in from within ourselves. We in the world are termed and known as the most impatient nation of the world, the most un peaceful people in the world, the most dangerous species on the earth, its time for us to prove these all statements wrong. Its time for all of us to come together and as this movement has started and continued till now, we need to take it further on. We need to have a system where the people can actually speak and ask for what they want not get what the few leading personalities in the arena today want.
Peace, Patience, Patriotism, Powerful Parliament, Political Stability and Power belongs to People is what I would want all those PPP&#039;s around the ruling party&#039;s name be meant as. I’m not a political worker, but I have a vision just as this young hopeful man has had. He&#039;s just showed us, the silent crowd, the way to look things up in the positive way. Every one of us knows things aren&#039;t easy; they are not going to be settled soon. The restoration would bring in further constitutional problems but for that matter parliament is. Why don&#039;t we just let the parliament we have already chose, decide how to tackle those political hurdles and ourselves work for the betterment of society around us. The change comes from within, and this Guy here has just showed us a Way to change. He has Stood Up for the change and I really appreciate the attempt.
Excellent Work Man!!! At least you have the courage to accept that you were wrong, most of us still lack that. I am sorry too for once even I believed what General Parvez Musharaf did on 12 October, 1999, was justified, but now I think a lot different too. Though it took me just days to realize I was wrong but it took me 9 years to say that I was wrong there. and the credit goes to you for bringing the truth inside me, out. Thanks a lot for that.

Humayun, dont worry, this Mr. Saeed is probally related to one of the factions I have criticized. I&#039;m thinking its the PML-N faction. 

Look Ali, look what Sharif did in 1998. It&#039;s all for you. Watch it. Open your mind.</description>

		<description>You have the right to disagree with me, Mr. Saeed. Just as I have the right to disagree with you and to hold a dissenting opinion without being told &#039;because I disagree with you, what you believe in is incorrect&#039;. This is a wrong mindset to hold. Also, It is good that you disagree with me. You are only execerising your right. I only hope Nawaz Sharif, who was victimized by the politics of victimization by Zardari, will realize that respect to the judiciary is neccasary at all times and not just when it is expedient to do so; Also, eschewing past actions of non-national interest is the best way forward and endorsing thinking of national interests over Party interests.

Also, you have failed to state what you disagree with. 

Are you rejecting some of the facts presented there, such as the attack on CJ Sajjad Shah, or the Sindh governer rule? Or are you disagreeing with my desire to see the Constitution, the law of the realm, to reign supreme. 

Please clarify if you wish for me to take you seriously.</description>

		<description>Haroon carries a great deal of hope and reason on his young shoulders! His assessment stems from his uncluttered imagination! There is urgent need to make good sense of his exuberance and euphoria. More than critical appreciation of the historic turnaround in Lawyers&#039; movement, what we need to appreciate is the enormous power of affinity and bonding the battle for Independence of Judiciary has provoked among anxious citizenry of Pakistan. However, the real battle lies ahead!
Kudos to you, Haroon! Keep making sense of the grimy moments ahead
The war is yet to be won!
