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.

In Pakistan, the social contract is invalid.

Because of the nature of the State in Pakistan at this time, the citizens are free to act as outlaws. It is a free for all. Logically speaking, a moral act towards the police or the army is as good as an immoral act because the state itself has broken the social contract by declaring emergency. If the state can act immorally, the citizen is not bound to behave morally in return towards the state.
