Everyone is happy after the 18th Feb. 2008 election because it seems that, democracy is back and dictatorship is over forever. Real test of democratic forces has just started. They have to solve the real problems of the public,which are standing in front of public like monsters.
New Government has to pass number of tests during their tenure which are follows.
Their Test number 1 is how they can maintain the coalition government for 5 years. People are really worried about this coalition because they remember the days of 1990`s when both main parties of coalition PML-N and PPPP were always seen busy in creating hurdles for each other but here they have to show political maturity and stability.
Test number 2 is test of tolerance, especially for freedom of speech. When both parties PML-N and PPPP were in the Government in 90`s ,their was no independent media present at that time,then there was only one television channel at that time ( Ptv) which was busy dancing on the tones of the government.
Now situation is altogether very different, there are more than 70 satellite Television channels and more than 150 Fm Radio channels. Now media is very critical about the policies of the Government.
This thing is very important because in 1999 when there was no independent media but still the famous tussle between Nawaz sharif and Jang group was one of the main reasons of the fall of his Government.
Some political analysts are predicting tussle between new government and Media in next 6 months.
Test number 3 is the issue of restoration of deposed judges and implementation of charter of democracy signed by Chairpersons of Both main parties sitting in Government ( PML-N and PPPP ).There is a point in this charter about the judges,according to that point no party will accept the judges who had taken oath under PCO ever in their professional careers. Judges who were deposed on 3rd November 2007 under emergency are the same judges who took oath under PCO of issued by General Musharaff on 13th October 1999.This means that according to charter of democracy these judges should be unacceptable to politicians of PPPP and PML-N but that is not the case,they are insisting to restore these judges .
This is very surprising and confusing that both parties are violating their own drafted and signed charter.
Nawaz sharif is maintaining the stance of restoring the judges who were deposed under emergency declared on 3rd November 2007 by president of Pakistan Pervaiz Musharaff., since he landed on Lahore airport after 8 years of exile.
If the deposed judges restored ,then appeals against the NRO ( National Reconciliation Ordinance ) can prove to be serious test for credibility and independence of Pre- Nov 2007 judiciary.
Test Number 4 is keeping economy stable in the wake of increasing prices of oil ,rising fiscal and current account deficit.New Government should concentrate on searching new international markets to meet these challenges.In international market Pakistan`s cheap labor and low cost of production can be Pakistan’s advantage .
As far as Current account deficit is concerned it is due to many reasons. Main reasons are import of latest machinery by Pakistani industry, Import of mobile phones due to huge demand by Pakistani mobile consumers. Mobile imports in 2007 has crossed colossal figure of 1 billion dollars.Pakistan can save precious foreign exchange of one billion dollars if Government try hard to attract investment in mobile manufacturing like India where Nokia has invested billions in mobile industry.
These are some serious challenges standing in front of new Government, if they overcome these challenges that would be great for them and for whole Pakistan.

Black......
Emaad.qureshi@gmail.com Black By Emaad Qureshi
Shame on you! Shame on what you are doing in the name of law and independence of judiciary. A movement started on 09th march 2007 was for the independence of judiciary , for real democracy and it was indeed a noble cause but now it seems that it is hijacked by some black sheeps who have some hidden agenda. Professionals in black coats should know that who are these black sheeps in black coats.
This is very serious problem because it is matter of our national prestige, this is not just bad for lawyers,after this incident whole image of country is at stake. Whole world is laughing at us, they are saying that a person in black coat who is supposed to be guardian of law and symbol of justice is busy beating politicians and burning cars then how can he guarantee justice for normal citizens?.
What was fault of that old man Mr. sher afgan who was just visiting court to meet his lawyer. One thing is noticeable that President Pakistan bar association Ahtizaaz ahsan who is a very respectable person among lawyers was stopping them but they weren’t even listening to him on protest he has resigned from his presidency of Pakistan bar association.
This is also a test for new Government that how will they deal this issue. They have to bring perpetrators of this heinous crime to justice.
Going back in the time,we find one or two incidents in which some lawyers have done this type of acts before. First was when lawyer Naeem bokhari was beaten by some miscreants in the dress of lawyers right in centre of Rawalpindi district court August last year. Other incident is spraying on Pakistan Government`s advocate Ahmed raza kasuri right at the gate of Supreme Court when he was going to hear the case of illegibility of President Mushraff September last year.
There is another incident which happened in Karachi just one day after incident of sher afgan .According to eyewitnesses this was fight between two groups of lawyers who were ist protesting against the mishandling of Sher afgan by group of lawyers in Lahore, one thing which is very sad and condemnable is that lawyers have taken law in their hands and burned cars and buses as they were some kind of gangster, no one should be allowed to destroy public property. These type of incidents and especially the incident which happened in Lahore with Doctor Sher afgan niazi is a black spot on the face of Pakistani nation.
As pointed by some political analysts if it is conspiracy against democracy then Government should deal with this conspiracy with iron hands, because this is matter of National prestige.
