So its now a reality, the much awaited emergency has now been imposed.
As almost all channels are off the air, people are now at the mercy of endless propaganda campaign on state-run PTV. The new propaganda punchline being used is : “farq parhta hai sahi faislay say sahi qayadat say” (Right leadership and right decisions make a difference). There is a subliminal message here “farq parhta hai Emergency say aur Gadee say” (Emergency and Seat make a difference… really!). Not to mention our very own poster-boy cum dictator is all over the television.
However, Begum Musharraf may not have liked the idea of emergency as it would deprive her and other Begmaat of Dramas on Indian Channels. So avoid their wrath, our president has allowed Star Plus and ARY Digital to be unblocked. Dont mess with the Begumaat, its worse than the emergency.
An “ordinance” has been issued, Judges are warned not to overstep and meddle with administrative affairs.
Life is normal here, we didn’t even feel the pain. I must give due credit to President for executing such difficult maneuver with such dexterity.
