Eyewitness : Police Charge at Peaceful Demonstrators and Make Mass Arrests in Lahore

As is customary of the dictatorships prevailing over the Muslim world today, Pakistan’s so-called democratically elected dictator Asif Zardari in his subservience to his American sponsors mercilessly had his security forces make scores of arrests over the weekend in Pakistan against yet more innocent citizens of Pakistan who were merely peacefully demonstrating against the true American agenda and the American war being waged in Pakistan which makes Muslims kills Muslims.

It is clear that Zardari is not content with the hundreds and thousands of Muslims killed in Afghanistan by the US, or the hundreds that have been indiscriminately killed by American drone attacks in AfPak, as recent times have clearly demonstrated his willingness to kill fellow Muslims has been evident in his complicity of taking the drone strategy upon himself, and he has now unashamedly unleashed the American war on Muslim land, leading out a Muslim army (formed in the name of Islam) to slaughter its fellow Muslim citizens. It is a by-product and of little significance to this traitor that in the process Millions of Muslims have been displaced in what is being described as one of the gravest mass displacements in recent times.

To make these points known and clear to the leadership and the masses, hundreds of peaceful demonstrators amongst them the intellectuals, professionals, labourers as well as the ordinary average citizens of Lahore, Pakistan had gathered together in Lahore to demonstrate their resentment and opposition to the government’s compliance with America.

Yet this action alone was beyond the tolerance level for this so-called ‘democratic’ US backed Pakistani regime! After the Muslims had demonstrated peacefully (in standing up to the American policy which has been the cause of great destabilization of Pakistan) and were peacefully beginning to make their way home, swarms of police cornered of the peaceful demonstrators from both ends and marched into the masses simultaneously throwing their batons at the innocent demonstrators, injuring several whilst arresting scores of other innocent citizens.

What was their crime? No more than standing upfront in their hundreds to defy authorities’ attempts to silence all dissent against this insane American war which only benefits the enemies of Pakistan and the Muslims and leads to the acceleration of Pakistan’s instability.

Zardari ‘s regime, as well as the other dictatorships in the Muslim world should know all too well that their threats, arrests, intimidation and other such tactics will only make the call and stance of the dawa carrier stronger, and it is only a matter of time before their corrupt and subservient leaderships to the west are scrapped permanently to the dustbins of history and the rise of Islam and the Islamic Khilafah system in re-established once again to unify and lead the Muslims worldwide to the glory of Islam.
