All in all, you have kangaroo assemblies run by sell-out politicians that are completely subservient to the commands of the armed forces. This is nothing less than Martial Law.
The point being that anyone who dares to oppose is being locked up. The rulers (armed forces) are running amock like thugs with their own gangsta style rules in the Banana Republic of Pakistan. At least they should have learned a lesson or two from the demise of Zia and his entourage; in amidst of all the gala, they met their deserved and rutlessly destructive fate....just when they thought that they were invincible..<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
