Two weeks into the Emergency Rule in Pakistan we asked what is your take today?
The number of people coming out on the side of the President/General is high.
Others suggest we need to mind our own business, western countries, any country!
According to the CBC,
Musharraf has insisted that the emergency rule powers were necessary to ensure fair elections and to strengthen the fight against Islamic militants. He reiterated Saturday that he would not lift the widely criticized measures unless the security situation improves.
Just to remind you of the situation in brief.
Again from the CBC.
Musharraf, who took power in a 1999 coup, swore in a caretaker government on Friday and declared he had "introduced the essence of democracy" in the country.
Bhutto and Musharraf had been negotiating a power-sharing arrangement, but talks apparently collapsed as the general moved against the opposition following his decision to suspend the constitution.
She has in recent days made increasingly strident demands for Musharraf to resign, and has proposed the opposition form a unity front to serve as a transition government ahead of the scheduled elections.
