Protest at Karachi University

The Teacher's and a couple of students protested at the Arts Lobby of Karachi University today on the 13th of November 2007. No doubt it is a sad thing to see, that Karachi University which was once renowned for its Non-violence student Political activities -NSF and DSF- which produced one of the most progressive minds, today saw a lack of interest from the students of the institute.

Today they are hardly interested in what happens around the country nor are they aware that their basic rights have been taken away from them- rather stolen from them. Are the brightest- most supposedly Educated class of Karachi - throughly dead?

Protest Outside Press Club

A picture of the vigil held outside Press Club on the 10th of November 2007. It was a peaceful protest and in its own way it was much more stronger than words!

Winds of Change

Yesterday, after wrapping up a protest, people came up to us to ask to which Political Party we belonged to, and it was with a sense of Pride that i replies " None, we are part of the civil society."

For the first time, after the decline of the Zia's regime it has been good to see the Civil society rising once again to stage its protest and to have its voices heard out. This includes students, NGO's, Journalist, Businessmen and almost people from all sorts of life. They bring their kids along with them, and tell them with pride what this is all about. People stop their cars and tell us that they support us and give us victory signs. It is a sign of the winds which have changed.... a change very much welcomed.
