By imposing de facto martial law in the guise of emergency rule and sacking a top judge Pakistan President Parvez Musharraf has proved that a barrel of gun is far mightier than the scale of justice. Now is the turn of political leaders to prove Musharraf wrong. Maybe, the day is not far away when people of Pakistan would have to urge their political parties to have their respective privatized military wings vis-à-vis their other wings on labour, sports, culture, foreign relations etc. If the military defeats justice, a new chapter titled "militarised democracy" will have to be introduced in the curriculum of political science.
