Following three are must see videos of Imran Khan’s address in London, especially watch the first one below.
Must See -
Part #1
Part #2
Part #3
On a side note, in his speech (the first one above) Imran briefly alludes to Justice Munir’s decision (in 1954) that by introducing the so-called “doctrine of necessity” provided an escape clause for the army whereby they could legitimize their actions against the constitution of Pakistan. Following articles discuss Justice Munir’s decision and its affects on Pakistan’s legal and political system. They also have some other interesting details.
- The Doctrine of Necessity and Pakistan’s Poodle Judiciary -
- The higher court judges had been ordered on January 19 to take a new oath under a provisional constitutional order, some three months after General Pervez Musharraf had taken power and scrapped the constitution. According to Justice Zahid, when they were to take the oath the following day, the registrar gave the judges blank forms from which they were to recite.
- In 1954, just seven years after the creation of Pakistan, Governor General Ghulam Mohammad dissolved the first constitutional assembly and the government of Prime Minister Khawja Nazim Uddin. The president of the assembly, Moulvi Tamiz Uddin, challenged him in the Sindh High Court and won: the dissolution was held to be illegal and unconstitutional. On appeal to the Chief Court of Pakistan, which was later renamed the Supreme Court, Chief Justice Munir decided in favour of the governor general. The basis for his decision was the “doctrine of necessity”: meaning that to preserve the country the constitution had to be abandoned.
- Ifs and Buts of Separation of Power – insightful editorial that traces the history of why separation of powers has never been effectively implemented in Pakistan and how Munir’s doctrine of necessity is the root of the problem.

One silver lining amid dark clouds circling Pakistan is the outstanding characteristic of Oxford educated Imran Khan who leads the moderate youth across Pakistan. He is untiringly spirited to raise his voice for justice. As denial and delay of justice hits many circles in Pakistan, many at home and abroad find it appropriate to join hands for a common cause. One such cause that Imran Khan has taken up is to call for investigating in to causes and consequences that led to tragic loss of 40 lives in Karachi on 12 May, 2007. Instead of supporting elements like Imran Khan to become the voice of the voiceless, President Musharraf and his coalition partners have unleashed unreserved criticism against the principled stand of this national hero and international sports icon.

Nice comment, I could not agree with you more. Welcome to the blog Zurkah. Are you involved in Tehreek-e-Insaaf? would you like to get involved? I am seriously thinking of doing that.

Thanks.

Imran Khan is surely a ray of light in the sickened and rotten politics of our beloved country back home. A strong , courageous and bold leader who can lead the nation at home and abroad, same as he led the team in cricket and made us so very proud.We, as Paksitanis have been electing corrupt and rotten politicians for a long time , why not to really elect a leader that we finally have !
June 12, 2007 at 10:55 am
How can you you guys forget that Pakistan was made my Mohajirs …..Native Paki’s are fuedel lords of their areas like wadera’s, jagirdaar, zameendaar, sardars ….Mohajir’s are the only educated ppl in Pakistan …Its punjabis who created tasub in this country ….I remember without having a Domicile of Punjab it was impossible to get into the armed forces or to get any other good job punjab domicile was required….Remember fellow Mohajirs these punjabi’s have always hated us …Any punjabi I have met in my life starts lashing out MQM or Altaf Hussein without even thinking that I could be a supporter of Altaf …This tells us the gaaon wala attitude of these dehatees….zabaan mein hadee nahin hotee in punjabioon kay ……
June 12, 2007 at 10:55 am
Its a well known fact that Imran Khan is a womanizer …to name a few Zeenat Aman, Goldie Hawn, Sita White & many others. A good defination of Imran Khan is ( sau choohay khaa kay bili chalee haj koo ) is against urdu speaking ppl …. I’ve seen his speaches & interviews …all he talks about is his achievements & how he build SKM hospital ……He questions Altaf Husseins expenses….I ask Imran Khan where does he gets his funds from …Its the donation of Pakistani & foreign ppl ….He’s is cheating Pakistani ppl & he is a man of low caliber who says crap about the president of his own country on a national T.V….what a low life ………
June 12, 2007 at 10:56 am
Imran Khan for the justice in the city of Karachi ???? Where did that come from …..Imran belongs to Lahore & he should stay there ……..
Take a close look at his life ….
1.Guy who married a foreigner jew ( when thousands of Pakistani girls at that time wanted to marry him) who divorced him 9 years later. If he calls himself a Patriotic Pakistani why did he marry a non-Pakistani. Where was his patriotism ?????
2. Why did he supported the president & all of a sudden is against him ….History shows that he supports ppl in the begining when things goes against his will he starts sayins crap abt the person.
From cricket to playboy ,,,,from playboy to marry a foreigner……from marriage to Hospital …….from Hospital to Politics …..Guys this man is a Bipolar who change his mind in a second ….He’s retarted & shows no signs of stability …..
June 12, 2007 at 10:57 am
Karim you brought some valid points here ….
“”"why don’t you file case against the culprits who are behind the violance of Tang, Peshawar bombing, etc, etc. Why didn’t you file case, against, the attempted killers of President Musharraf “”"”
What interest does he have in Karachi ???
Why does he even cares if Karachi is owned by urdu speaking ppl ????
Why does he talk abt the freedom of karachi ????
Do we Karchites ever talk abt freedom of lahore or peshawar ?????
He failed to take care of his own wife ( she was screwing around ) I can guaratee you that she had an affair while they were married …Its an open practice in punjab to have open relationships…..
Imran khan failed in every aspect of life except cricket ….
1. Attitude : Failed
2. Marriage: Failed
3. Politics: Failed
4. People on his side: Few hundread …
5. People against him : Millions…
Guys he is a khur dimagh Pathan …..we all know that pathan’s don’t have a brain …they go with their instincts. They’ll hug you if they like you but if you go against there will they will pull a gun on you …Its a normal practise in pakhtoon culture …….
June 12, 2007 at 10:58 am
Imran khan & his low life supporters have showed their caliber in London, England ( Go to youtube.com ) to watch these videos where these low life sob dayhatees ( who can’t even speak urdu correctly) have screamed slogans against urdu speaking people …I wish we can kick these gaaon walas out of our City Karachi, & send them back to their abaai gaoon where they belong….I can’t believe punjabi’s are saying so much crap about mohajir’s so openly …..Imran Khan is collecting ( bharay kay punjabi tatoo) in London so they can shout slogans against mohajirs & showing the world his Auqaat …. Imran Khan go & have sexual acts with teenage boys like you pushtoon guys normaly do ….Now you know why his wife left him !!!!!!!!!
June 12, 2007 at 2:32 pm
Paloo Jaan, you need to lighten up. It is possible to have a civilized discussion about Pakistani politics without becoming hysterical.
Khurram did not mention Muhajirs or MQM in his blog entry. So you need to stick to the topic of Judicial independence.
June 13, 2007 at 2:04 am
Paloo,
As Moez wrote above, this is not a Muhajir vs. Punjabi issue and in my opinion anybody who tries to make it that is doing a disservice to Pakistan. Just like criticizing Israel for its policies in the middle east does not make one an anti-semite, condemning MQM for its (alleged) negative tactics is not the same thing as being anti-Muhajir. There are a large and ever growing number of muhajirs who are critical of MQM and feel that the party does not represent them anymore. Several of Tehreek-e-Insaaf’s officers are muhajirs. It is afterall the responsibility of every Muslim to stand up against tyranny.
We should let the courts decide. I agree that Imran Khan has been at times juts a bit too critical of MQM and Altaf Hussain. It is important to educate people about what he thinks happened in Karachi so that such a tragedy may be avoided in the future and politics in Pakistan could eventually be exorcised of such negative influences. However, demonizing somebody publicly based on alleged and hitherto unproven charges of terrorism is, in my opinion, premature and slanderous. It contradicts Imran’s strong stance on justice. A key tenant of a fair judicial system is that it presumes innocence until proven guilty. Imran, like any other individual, has every right to file a case against Altaf Hussain in the court of law. But demonizing him repeatedly in public is not befitting of a person who takes a lot of pride in being above the dirty politics that goes on in our country.
Let’s look at it from the other side. If Altaf Hussain is so certain of his innocence, why does he not file a counter suit against Imran for slandering him in public? This is however a fundamentally flawed argument. It’s equivalent to saying that if you hit a passerby really hard and he doesn’t respond, he somehow deserved it.
Imran needs to rise above the overly opportunistic politics and let the justice take its course. We, as spectators muhaors or otherwise, must wait for the court verdict before making our mind on Altaf Hussain. The reality is that most of us have already made up our minds and the court decision will not be able to change that at all. This is not something unique to Pakistan, no not at all. It’s very much a human phenomena. Even in a country like the United States where courts are much more freer than in Pakistan, most white Americans had decided that OJ Simpson was guilty of the crime he was accused of way before the jury reached its verdict and the verdict didn’t really change people’s minds.
June 13, 2007 at 9:57 am
Without becoming hysterical ??? Talking abt hysterical go to youtube.com & watch how hyterical Imran Khan is in his interviews …..& talking abt judicial independence Imran Khan read these 2 words probably in L.A Times or Times magazine & using it as shield to put mohajir’s down so he can justify Justice Chaudhry’s visit who new that if he was gonna change his plans to visit Karachi nothing was gonna happen to begin with ….Imran Khan in his interviews mentioned that his party workers in Karachi are all mohajirs ….Read mondays Dawn.com 41 of his party workers from karachi joined MQM …this is all ethnic & Imran Khan is the most hated person in Karachi. People of Karachi support MQM & Altaf Hussein Imran khan’s verdict didn’t really change people’s minds.
June 13, 2007 at 10:11 am
Read the news dude …every other day 40 to 50 people die in his home town peshawar …how come he is not taking an action against it ….Same thing happens in Baluchistan every other day 40 to 50 ppl die ??? why is he not taking any actions against his home boys ….why is he so worried about Karachi ?????? You guys need to do your homework before taking sides ……
June 16, 2007 at 2:46 am
Paloo is 100% Saying True.I Belong To Pathan Family And I know Imran Khan Very Closely Because I Site Around Pathans And I Know Whats There Thoughts About Imran Khan.A Very Strange Point Let Me Tell You That When He Visits Punjab He Tries To Show Imran Khan As Punjabi.A Person Who Cant Take Care Of His Wife Is It Possible Can He lead The Whole Country???When Operation Was Going On In NWFP Again Pathans So Where He Was??Was He Died Or Sleeping With Other Girls..Why He Did Not Bring Up Voice For Those Pathans???

First of all we must know that all the people in every ethnicity are not equally bad, be it Sindhi, Punjabi, Baloch or Pathan or even those who speak urdu and are known by various titles in the land of Pakistan. Some call them Mohajir others call them Panah Geer, Matharwa and now even Imran Khan due to his low caliber introduced the word Lota.
Well so much for that I cant stoop to his level and feel better off staying at my own.
Whatever you call the people who migrated from the East of the dividing line of the then West Pakistan at the time of it’s founding and formation has contributed a great deal to the nation of Pakistan by all means possible, this included sacrifying their wealth, their households, their properties their lives, and even their State.
When Pakistan was founded the govt did not have money to pay the first salary to it’s employees, where did that come from?
It was remitted by the State of Hyderabad.
When there was no monetary backing medium available to Pakistan so that the currency could be printed, where did that come from?
Again it was the State of Hyderabad that contributed plenty of Gold so that the State Bank of Pakistan which was “Kangaal” at the time could resume its business and issue currency.
If not all the vast majority of the sons of the land (i.e. those who did not migrate and got blessed with the state of Pakistan while sitting at home) were ill educated and even illiterate too, however those who migrated consisted of a majority of educated intellectuals who took the responsibility of furthering education to the illiterate masses as well as to engage in the routine business activities of running the country.
The question is, why the sons of the land chose to hate those who sacrificed lives and wealth only for the cause of a muslim nation? Dont they consider themselves Muslim too? or is it because they are not literate enough to read into the reasons the hundreds of thousands if not more people began marching towards the land that was acquired as a separate nation for Muslims. All the rhetoric that is appearing leads me to believe that there is a serious lack of understanding of the faith of Islam in such sons of the soil that they chose to divide themselves on these lines that they do. Otherwise I see no reason for all this bashing that keeps on going.
May Allah SWT bless them with a clear vision so they are able to recognize where they are leading the nation to and what results could transpire out of all this rhetorical blah blah.
August 23, 2007 at 10:02 pm
Listening to Altaf’s partial comments in the given speech that has been referred to multiple times I can only conclude that he is referring to the blunders in terms of conspiracies of the British in the manner they divided the sub-continent into two separate nations and how they deprived Pakistan from acquirng it’s rightful share in this sub-division; however the “politicians” who are waiting to capitalize on anything said by someone that they chose to target while it is not a game and could cost in big ways.
I hope, wish and pray that nothing such negative ever takes place but I strongly believe that we should not forget East Pakistan turning into Bangladesh. May Allah SWT protect our homeland from any such fitna. ameen.

hi guys, i just want to say that i do think that as a cricketer imran was great but i don’t think that i would personally like him representing pakistan because he has himself gone against pakistani culture, marrying a foriegner which then ended in divorce. he is like a western celebrity who enjoys dating lots of women the whole ‘playboy’ type, i think that we as a nation need to unite and sort out our own problems without having to rely on the likes of this playboy.
December 16, 2007 at 6:35 pm
I am a Pakhtun and I see no wrong in Imran Khan marrying a foreigner, because it is allowed in Islam, now if one thinks that culture is above religion then they are wrong. Good that he married when he did because it has made him a better person since, or would you guys have liked him to carry on as he was before the marriage? There is no doubt about Imran being a patriotic Pakistani but not a nationalist, because if he were to stand for a seperate Pkhtunkhwa homeland my family would have supported him (we are ANP but I am not). He is the voice of the voiceless in Pakistan, and I admire and respect him for that

DISPASSIONATE ANALYST
ON WHO KILLED BENAZIR ?
Taliban would not be motivated to kill Benazir.
Musharraf is their bigger enemy who assisted the americans against them with tremendous logistical support.
Her brother was killed in Karachi by the MQM. They are the most callous, irreligious, and secular hardened killers, with no compassion just like Musharraf. For example, who killed the registrar of the supreme court, execution style ?
They are bonded to Musharraf by the Mohajir blood.
Musharraf is a stooge of America. His ONLY son in there and so are his brothers. He trusts them. He is being tutored personally by Negroponte. CIA provides free consulting to him and Negroponte personally tutors him. Ponte went there to tutor Musharraf on how to handle the JUDICIARY in a machiavellian fashion, by inflicting a mortal disabling wound , and that is exactly what Mush did.
The zionists and hindu are quietly watching because Mush and MQM is doing their job and you maintain pin-drop silence when your enemy is destroying itself.
This is the way to handle an islamic nuclear country by making it crumble from inside by putting a militant minority of biharis (who were the back-stabbers to their very neighbors and muslim brothers, the bengalis in 1971 on the basis of language and ethnicity) like the Kallu Mush, on top of the majority in the country. Being cornered, they will heartily and mightily fight and destroy each other with wanton and abandon.
Musharraf and MQM believes that it is their historic opportunity to setup a Mohajir Caliphate – forever.
The goal of CIA, Mossad, RAW is to create Tamil-Sinhalese intensity and style hatred in Pakistan, and MQM is the perfect tool. We must guard against it and resuscitate a hero like Dr A.Q.Khan to serve as the bridge. It will kill many birds with one stone.
It will kill many birds with one stone.
Musharraf and MQM dream has no feasibility, but their belief in it will indeed make the CIA/Mossad/RAW plan not only feasible but successful.

Imran khan is real hero of pakistan he work har but dont find a chance to make government,
It may be favorite game of political leaders to make fun of law, Some don’t know the rules regulations and still and they are member of assembly, Pakistan have very good historical background, but about today law can be change next day
May 24, 2009 at 4:35 pm
GOD save the people of our country from these bangy womanizer politicians. I am not against any patriotic person, but the whole idea of Pakistan is a blasphemy. There is no unity and integrity between the Pathans, the Punjabis, Balochis, sindhis. Why the heck is the country created and what good does it serve. Once created and within 25 years to be split between East and West. Its a failed state and inshah allah I believe in the near future all will get independence before we are taken over by talibans or some local mafia. I wish we could only survive as separate nations of balochis, punjabis, Urdu, Pathans rather than be ruled by military or by talibans

Imran khan has done no offence by marrying a foriegner. However, he has done a crime by not accepting his child just because she is a daughter & cannot play cricket.
He thinks he can fool people by giving emotional speeches but Pakistani public is not so foolish that they don’t see the original lifestyle of Mr. Khan partying in Bollywood & dating all western women & simultaneously denouncing western way of living in public meetings.
He was certainly a great crickter but not a good human being. He is a person who has no character & is not fit enough to be in any public office.
Regards,
Farhan
