Seeing the vile campaign against the CJP, I feel compelled to share a few comments left by 2,500+ Pakistanis who signed my open letter and saying #NationStandswithCJP

Here is a thread full of messages of hope from Pakistanis which you should read if you feel dejected

🧵👇
"Protect the people's rights, and the people will protect your legacy. It is up to you if you want to be remembered alongside Justice Munir or with Jinnah and Iqbal. Please choose wisely, the people are looking at you."

Pervez, Karachi
"When one is alone it is definitely scary speaking truth to power, but when you 220million willing to reach your door step to support you, what fear can you have?"

Qasim, Mardan
"Honourable Chief Justice of Pakistan please give your verdict according to constitution of Pakistan and there is no need worring about any propaganda,we are as nation standing behind you strongly believe us we won't leave you alone in this difficult time"
"We stand with you CJP. It's a watershed moment in our history. Your decision will decide the course of our history for the next decade. Please stand with the constitution. The entire nation stands with you. "

Talha, Karachi
"Honorable Sir CJP, the nation needs you now, more than ever. There comes a time in person's life which one can call a "defining moment". This is that time for you. You are the hopes and dreams of the 230 million Pakistanis, who have almost lost all hope."

Osama, Karachi
"History will always remember you for standing against this mafia that has corrupted all institutions of Pakistan, and is insistent on doing even more damage from which we may never recover. "

Tuaha, Islamabad
"Stay strong! Stay put! Do not succumb to fascist ideology and mafia pressure. We the people of Pakistan are with you! "

Shahnaz, Islamabad
"We want to come back and serve our country but not when we cannot get justice. Why would anyone want to come back when fake cases can be registered, people can be tortured. And now you cannot even vote. It's my hope that the judiciary will do it's duty honestly."
Umer, Germany
"Stay strong. This is your moment, the people stand with you. Come what may, in the end all that matters is that you stood against evil, and fought the good fight."

`Mustafa, Gujrat
"We stand with you CJ Sir.
تن کے رکھو اور آئین کے مطابق فیصلہ دو۔ انشاءاللہ قوم آپ سے ایک قدم آگے ہوگی۔ اگر آئین اور قانون کے مطابق فیصلہ دے دیا تو مک آگے بڑھ جائے گا ورنہ پھر عوام ہوگی اور سری لنکا اور ترکی کو لوگ بھول جائیں گے۔
عوام آپ کے ساتھ ہے۔ "

Touseef, Islamabad
"The nation stands behind you in these defining moments with the hope that you being the upholders of constitution will stand with us, Pakistani people (the real power). We are a democratic country and democracy must prevail!"

Mariam
ہمیں مریم یا عمران کی نہیں بلکہ آئین کی بالادستی چاہئے۔ آئین کی حفاظت کرنے والے دلیر اور غیرت مند ہوں گے تو کوئی مائی کا لال آئین توڑنے کی جرات نہیں کرے گا۔

Sajid, Jhelum
"Honourable CJP, it's time to wipe clean the stain of Justice Munir and the doctrine of necessity from our judiciary once and for all. Stand firm, the nation stands with you. "

Akib, Jhelum
"Your lordships, plz perform your duty without any influence and pressure. We will not allow them to repeat the 1997 incident. Nation stands with our Honourable judges especially with Chief Justice of Pakistan."
Shehryar, Lahore
سر پوری قوم آپ کے ساتھ ہے آپ کے پیچھے ہے۔ عدل کریں اور وہ فیصلہ دیں جو آئین اور قوم کہتی۔ عدل کے معاملے میں اللّہ سے ڈریں باقی سارے خوف دل سے نکال دیں۔ آپ حق پہ چلیں اللّہ آپ کی مدد فرمائے گا

Laila, Multan
"We will stand with you through any difficulty you face as you take the right stand for the nation. We will take any misery that comes to you upon us like we do for Khan sahb. You know why? Because he cares for us like a father figure. We expect the same from you"

Samia, Karachi
"We stand beside you till our last breath, this is our Pakistan, the Pakistan our children will grow in. Make this land breathable and liveable for our next generations.

A sincere Pakistani."

Zaigham
"A laborer works all day and takes 1000 from which he runs his house with 600 and 400 he gives you taxes and you get salaries of this poor laborer. Count the sweat of the whole day and this nation can forgive you for the audios and videos but not for the injustice."
Zohaib,Lahore
"اگر آپ حق اور سچ کا ساتھ دیں گے۔اور عدل سے پاکستان کے آئین کے مطابق فیصلے کریں گے۔اگر آپ کسی بھی ادارے کا دباؤ قبول کرنے کی بجاۓ آئین کے مطابق فیصلے کریں گے۔تو عوام ہمیشہ آپکی بیک بون بن کر آپ کے ساتھ کھڑی رہے گی۔یاد رکھنا۔یہ عام عوام ہی اس ملک کی سب سے بڑی طاقت ہے"
Ghania, Isb
جناب چیف جسٹس صاحب 75 سال سے غربت و افلاس کے مارے عوام دور پیغمبر ص اور خلفائے راشدین کے قاضیوں کے کارنامے سن کر ایک خواہش رکھتے تھے کہ کاش اسلام کے نام پہ بنے اس ملک میں کوئی تو قاضی اسلام والا ہو۔۔اب جاکے ایسا لیڈر ملا ہے جو کہتا ہے کہ ہم اپنی عدالتوں کا ساتھ دیں گے
N, Chitral
آپ کو کسی سے ڈرنے کی ضرورت نہیں کسی کا مطلب ہے کسی سے بھی نہیں، اپ وہ کریں جسکا آپ نے حلف اٹھایا ہے، قوم آپکے ساتھ کھڑی ہے۔ فیصلہ آئین کے مطابق کریں تاکہ قوم آپکو اچھے الفاظ میں یاد رکھے آپکی زندگی میں بھی اور آپکے جانے کے بعد میں بھی

Yawar, Lahore
"Its evident as daylight that what we as nation want. There is plethora of news/comments/tweets circulating; regardless of these, please stand on the right side of history. Please do not give in to any kind of pressure. Uphold our constitution."

Asad, Karachi
"Sir. 5-10 years down the line, history will remember that you stood firm by the constitution and upheld the rule of law. Elections are the cornerstone of democracy and is the only necessity in Pakistan today. "

"Your burden is very great, we realize that. May Allah(swt) help you make the right decisions. We are praying for you also."

CNN's @SophiaSaifi is either woefully misinformed or working on an agenda. In her feature length article she fails to mention KP and Punjab elections, which are due on 12 and 18 April as per the constitution, and which the govt. has failed to hold, disenfranchising 140m people Image
edition.cnn.com/2023/03/31/asi…

Here is the article full of half truths and manipulations.
Completely unbiased "journalist" who thinks PTI supporters are trolls. Image

Pakistan's govt. and Election Commission are unconstitutionally blocking elections in Punjab and KP provinces beyond the 90 day limit set out in Article 224(2) of the constitution.

#ElectionsIn90Days
#NationStandswithCJP

Here are the facts:
🧵👇 Image
On the 14th and 18th of January, the provincial assemblies of the Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) provinces in Pakistan were dissolved by the Chief Ministers under Art. 112 of the constitution. Image
Articles 224(2) mandates that elections within 90 days of dissolution of provincial assemblies. This was reiterated by a decision of the Supreme Court (SC), which directed that the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) is bound to hold elections within the stipulated time limit. Image

There are approx. 40m new voters in 🇵🇰 since 2013.

As the PTI modernised and reached out to these young voters, PPP/PMLN kept doing politics of 90s.

This is essential to understand the shift in Pakistani politics; unfortunately, most “experts” don’t/won’t talk about this
(1/4)
The politics of denial like “PTI stole the 2018 elections” doesn’t hurt PTI, it hurts PMLN/PPP. Rather than doing ideological politics to reach new voter blocs, they’re still reliant on “clientelistic”vote buying. But as the electorate expanded, those tactics became redundant
2/4
One thing they have done to counter PTI’s rise is by using classic voter suppression tools in connivance with @ECP_Pakistan as I showed in this thread below.

However, Pakistan will add 5 million new voters every year for the next 10 years too. How many will they suppress?

A lot of noise is being made by certain sections of media about today’s judgment by J. Faez Isa regarding the use of “suo moto” powers under Article 184 (3).

2 questions are key: timing of the ruling, and if it’s consistent with J Isa’s past positions.

I answer both🧵👇
First: why has the decision come out today?

This is important because the case on which the judgment is issued doesn’t actually have anything to do with the present matter being heard about the Punjab/KP Elections. It’s about extra marks for Hafiz-E-Quran in MBBS/BDS tests!
2/n
As stated in the full judgment, this is a 14 month old case.

The fact that the decision has come out in the midst of one of the most important cases of Pakistan’s democratic history, asking to influence these proceedings is deeply suspect, as noted by the dissenting judge

I just emailed the Open Letter to SC with signs and comments by more than 2,000 ordinary Pakistanis (in less than a day), clearly showing that #NationStandswithCJP

Below, I'm sharing some of the best comments
(captured perfectly in this📽️ by my great friend @soufiasiddiqi)

🧵👇
A whole day collecting, collating, and anonymising this data & I'm simply amazed just how aware the general public is! From students to academics to workers like drivers, painters & housewives.

I hope judges can see this and take heart that this isn't 1997 anymore.

Please RT and share in WhatsApp groups/ Instagram/ FB etc. Let's get this thousands of signatures so that the judiciary knows where the people of Pakistan stand.
Some of the comments received on the Open Letter to CJP Bandial are incredibly moving and emotional. Imagine the impact comments like this can have! Ordinary Pakistanis never cease to amaze me 💚
