My point is, there is a difference between

Attack on the parliament

Vs

Attack on the parliament building

Vs

Attack on the sanctity of the parliament

Vs

Attack on the parliamentarians

While I condemn them all, the nature of these attacks can vary from small violation of rules to the treason.

What you mentioned was the exaggeration and the reality is the violation of law and those who did it, those individuals must be arrested and trialed.
I don’t think even you watched those speeches. Even speaker 47 himself accepted that it was attack. I am 2000 percent sure that things going to be very different for those who betrayed Pakistan in last two years..

I think at this point our whole history is pretty black, especially the past few years.
Can't help it if the elite are fans of Mick Jagger.

On September 9th, a tragic event took place in Pakistan that has shaken the foundations of its democratic system. Armed men, wearing masks, stormed the country's parliament and attacked the building, resulting in the kidnapping of several members of parliament (MPs) from the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party. This act of violence has been described as a black day for the country’s democratic values. According to eyewitness accounts, the attackers entered the parliament building with weapons and took control of the situation. They targeted PTI lawmakers specifically, abducting some of them in a shocking display of force. This unprecedented event has raised serious concerns about the safety of elected representatives and the state of democracy in Pakistan. Parliament is meant to be a place where political debates and decisions are made peacefully, representing the voice of the people. An attack like this, right at the heart of the nation’s political system, is a direct blow to the democratic process. The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has condemned the attack, stating that it goes against the core principles of democracy. The use of violence to silence or intimidate elected representatives is a dangerous trend that threatens the very fabric of the country’s political system. For a country that has faced challenges to its democracy over the years, this attack is a disturbing reminder of the risks that remain. Many political commentators and civil society members have expressed concern that this incident is part of a broader pattern of political instability and violence in the country. They warn that if such actions go unchecked, it could lead to further erosion of trust in democratic institutions. The attack also highlights the growing political tensions in Pakistan. PTI, led by Imran Khan, has been at odds with several other powerful entities in the country, including the military, judiciary, and political opponents. This tension has been building for some time, and the attack on parliament may be a reflection of these deeper conflicts. There is a need for all political parties to come together to address these tensions and ensure that violence does not become a common tool for settling political disputes. In the aftermath of this attack, there is a call for stronger measures to protect elected representatives and ensure the safety of the country’s democratic institutions. This event has shown that more needs to be done to safeguard the political system from violence and intimidation. The attack on September 10th is a reminder that democracy in Pakistan must be protected at all costs. It is a time for unity and for all political actors to work together to ensure that such events do not happen again. Pakistan’s democratic future depends on the strength of its institutions and the commitment of its people to uphold democratic values. This tragic day will be remembered as a dark moment in Pakistan's political history, but it also serves as a call to action to strengthen democracy and prevent future attacks on its institutions.

Little by little from petty crimes to heinous crimes, from hurling threats to assaults' and kidnapping, Pakistan's pillar of democracy, the core values of right to vote and freedom of speech and expression are crumbling.

When rogues attack and kidnap parliamentarians, it's an attack on democracy and the people of Pakistan, both symbolically and functionally. Pakistan's democracy is supposed to be built on the rule of law, which ensures that everyone, including law makers, are subject to legal processes and protections.

Attacking or kidnapping parliamentarians shows a blatant disregard for these principles, suggesting that power or violence, rather than law, can determine political outcomes. This undermines citizens' trust in the justice system and government institutions. The fact that those who are supposed to protect failed in their primary duty is a damning indictment of behind the scenes nefarious actors.

An attack on Pakistan's parliamentarians , whatever their views and alignments, is an attack on the People of Pakistan and a challenge to their fundamental right to vote and elect and choose who they deem fit to represent them. Normalizing such heinous crime on democracy isn't going to bode well as such actions will only divide and contribute towards a downward spiral of anarchy and chaos. If foreign hands are involved then they need to be chopped, if internal criminals are involved then they need to be caught and incarcerated. We must all cherish and uphold the democratic values of Pakistan else we will slip into dictatorship and civil war.

The passive people of Pakistan should also ready themselves for the same treatment. No doubt that these thugs will apply the same treatment of kidnapping relatives and females of any member of the society that has a difference of opinion.

PML-N, PPP and the generals have set a new precedent here and they shouldn't think they are above the law. What today is happening to PTI can and will happen to these thugs. Karma is a bitch.
 
Cat is out of box..Journalist Asad Toor has made a shocking disclosure, revealing that a hidden constitutional amendment includes a five-year extension in the tenure of the Army Chief. This move is believed to be critical for the current government's survival, especially in relation to General Asim Munir's role.
