Dears All,
I dont find anything wrong in the very first post of Usman Haider. He said that "Pakistan Ko Inqelaab Kee Zaroorat Hai" and in my view he was talking about the recently approved "HAQOOQ-E-NISWAAN BILL" i.e. Women Rights Act.
So many muslim scholars (who are really qualified people and who dont describe themselves as scholar) have shown their concerns over this law. I have gone through its contents and personally feel concerns about it, although those concerns are my personal feeling and any person may or may not agree to them.
In my view the Laws promulgated in Zia regime were also somewhat biased but those were also the laws of our country and we were always supposed to obey them. Those laws provided a combination of HADOOL LAW as per Shariah and Man Made Law as per Penal Code. An accused was supposed to face both trials, if such trials were likely to suit his case.
However, currently approved law is little bit different. It follows Hadood Law as per Sharia but has laid down a procedural way out to proceed against the accused. So many powers of police have been reduced. Court intervention has been introduced. Eye witnesses have been made a compulsion for requesting the court to proceed against any body. In this way, the ZANA-BIL-RAZA (Zana with consent) has ben given a bit disguised relaxation. However, law is still very much strict against ludeness. This is what i deduce from an over view of law. Since I am not a lawyer, I dont know all the surrounding facts.
I know so much good and so much bad happens in every social setup. Strict laws, in the scenario of unlimited powers of police, might affect the innocents. Likewise, lenient laws with reduced police powers, may leave the criminals to do what they want.
In fact every one has to do justice with his ownself. The law which has been made by our government, we have to follow it and if we feel some deficiencies, we can talk to our representatives in parliment and can discuss technically on various national and international forums. But in no way we can breach the laws.
This is what I feel and believe.
Mr. Usman's concerns might be strongly footed on facts and figures. I appreciate him, if he will explain his views further and discuss the technical and legal aspects of his concerns.
This is a general forum and in my view the query was not immoral. I dont know why some friends have gone outrageous on this query.
Yes, Inqelaab does not mean only an inqelaab which is supposed to be brought through arms and amunations. I said every one has to do justice with his ownself and the day when we all will reach this stage, inqelab will come. I accept that I am still not on that stage. I dont know about others. I remember an incident written in islamic books, where a person came to Prophet (peace be upon him) and accepted his crime (some serious one in moral terms) and after his three times acceptance, Prophet (PBUH) suggested a punishment for him and he was punished. This is one's justice with his ownself. Off course we need an inqelaab in our own attitudes.
Hope no body would be affected by my post.
Best regards,
Kamran.
