Good. Now we are back to the system of slavery. It was a system that our British masters gave us slaves, but never had it in their homeland, where local self-government system of counties flourished. After the British left, the left overs, or "Kala Angraze" as we used to say, came in power and continued that. Unfortunately a dictator decided to end it and introduce democracy, just like he liberated media and judiciary to his own demise. So the system of slavery is back again. Next we will see state owned media's monopoly announcing press notes given by magistrates (as Zulfiqar Mirza promises to kill all independent journalist), and finally a puppet judiciary that will reintroduce judicial murders as per the government instructions (as promised by Sharjeel Memon etc). Bye bye civil governments, independent media, and independent judiciary.
