Wear a Black Armband as a symbol of your disagreement.
Musharraf’s resignation took with it the last ray of hope. The NRO was not revoked and the country is in the hands of thieves and looters. There is an impression that the whole Nation is united in this decision and is celebrating, whereas many of us who see this as a dark step in the plan to destabilize Pakistan are depressed and disappointed. The media has as usual picked a biased side, and continues to celebrate in the hype that it has itself created. President Musharraf did have supporters, and there are many who did not want him to resign, but amidst the shouts of these politically charged conspirators, our voices are unheard.
Show your stance against the resignation by the President, by wearing a black armband. The most peaceful, quiet and non-provoking way to show your disagreement. We have seen the lawyers do it, the NGO’s and their human rights, the politicians and their selfish agendas. Why not use this way for once solely for the sake of Pakistan
Wear the armband as:
- A symbol of our feelings, our disappointment over the president’s departure.
- A protest against the government and its conspiracy that has now unfolded. We stand united for Pakistan and its sovereignty.
- A reminder to the government, that now that Musharraf is no longer there to be used as an excuse for the government’s follies, we are awaiting action. There are issues waiting to be addressed, and if Musharraf was the only hindrance, we want them to be tackled. The government is in the Nation’s courtroom, and it is answerable to us…we are the ones passing the judgment.
It is not an antagonistic protest; it is merely a form of expression, to show that we disagree, to show that we want CHANGE, to show that this nation s not blind {or indifferent}. Musharraf’s problems may have ended, but this government’s have just begun. United, we stand.
