To revolt is a natural tendency of life. Even a worm turns against the foot that crushes it. In general, the vitality and relative dignity of an animal can be measured by the intensity of its instinct to revolt.

Bhutto Peddling Mush Propaganda against Judges!

Of late, Benazir Bhutto has been at pains shamelessly to slight and disparage the principled stand taken by My Lord the Chief Justice and his honourable colleagues. Her most recent tirade against Our Lordships has been reported by BBC Urdu, and Dawn.

To be sure, the demagogue of Larkana has motives to malign the heroic Pakistan’s heroic rise, as Haroon-ur-Rashid points out in this column in the Urdu Daily Express; and as Tariq Ali so eloquently argues in this write-up, aptly titled Daughter of the West”.

Has anybody realised yet, though, that the deceptive argument (“they took oath under PCO earlier...”), is not Bhutto’s own? The same argument has been repeatedly aired by Fazlur Rehman of JUI-F, Musharraf’s Attorney General Abdul Qayum, and various other heavies from the dictator’s court.

What a fall, Bhutto! You have become just another petty mouthpiece of the Pakistani Hitler, broadcasting propaganda messages designed by some dark Goebbels to confuse public opinion! What a fall, indeed, and what a calling!
