You are still confused about two different issues. Key issue are:
"Why change the law when there was absolutely no need to unless you had taken a principled stance which it clearly was not"
Law was not changed. It was the same.
But our bogus government, our bogus Media anchor persons, our so called Danishwars were not able to answer such a small issue.
I have strong reservations and bad opinion against Asima Jahangir, but she was the only one who raised those questions.
Simply means our nation as a whole is a ***** and does deserve to be humiliated.
"Why allow dharna people to reach with assumption they will return before 12 rabiul awwal for Milad un Nabi"
While all governments fear the Mullah after what we saw in the Lal mosque case.
Fauj's role comes after all these blunders and mess. They have very appropriate reason to not attack people as this wasn't a specific group out on street. Almost your entire population was made to believe that government had attacked "Khatm e nabuwat" (which is absolute lie and propaganda by the way but people buy this). Do you know history behind this and how this issue has created trouble in the past?? There is a very good reason a secular minded Bhutto had to introduce this law to get rid of these troubles.
First criticism upon Army is this that the way they accomplished the things, it gave the strong impression that Army was supporting the Fasaadies. It was very foolish of army to behave in this way.
Secondly, if they have done the operation, then whole blame would have only gone upon the government, and not the army, as in case of Lal mosque the blame went upon Musharraf and not the army (if any).
Perhaps if Army showed the support of the Government right from the beginning then in future Governments could have self-confidence and they stop the Fasadies right in the beginning.
Governments don't want these fasadies.
But gov was not able to take actions while there is lack of confidence between Army and the Gov.
So this mistrust should end for the future, otherwise we will be seeing much worst situations for the state of Pakistan.
I keep repeating myself here but you weren't going to launch military ation against 1000 or so people in dharna but hundreds of thousands across the country. Doesn't it push the country towards civil war???
Please don't tell me that state should fear the fasadies all over the country. If state decides, then fasadies could do nothing.
Such fear call were also given at the time of lal mosque that fasadies all over the country could retaliate if gov attacks lol mosque. But after the operation all got feared and nothing happened.
It is not clever for us to think that Army diffused the situation. Actually, Army made a bigger monster for the future, which will bite the state and the people sooner or later.
