Judiciary and Pakistan politics
The role of judiciary in Pakistan politics is getting vital by every passing day. The Supreme Court has become a symbol for the larger struggle against General Pervez Musharraf's military rule.
The judiciary has emerged as the only institutional force in Pakistan that has been able to stand up to military rule. Lawyers are campaigning for independence of judiciary and establishment of rule of law in the country. In Pakistan, the judiciary not only protects the rights of the people but also facilitates the democratic process. It explains the boundaries of political power between the other organs of the state and the army as well.
The Judges and the political parties should fight together against autocracy.
