Dama Dum Mast Kalander, Chief Saab Court Ke Andher
Other Pakistan’s ‘nara’ or slogan for the long march is simple and catchy, please pass it on so it can be sung today on the ground as we enter Rawalpindi and Islamabad:
Dama-Dum Mast Kalander
Chief Saab Court Ke Andher
- WRITTEN UNDER MARTIAL LAW
Dama Dum Mast Kalander, Aitzaz koowain mein under.
Dama Dum Mast Kalander, DOGar court kay ander
Dama Dum Mast Kalander,
Musharaf army house kay ander
Dama Dum Mast Kalander,
Zardari mazay say upnay ghar kay under
Dama Dum Mast Kalander,
lawyers movement khaak kay under
I want to say I’m dismayed at the conclusion of the long march. If Aitzaz had waited for another 5 hours, staged a mini sit-in of even 15 minutes, the bogus zardari govt would’ve fallen like a pack of cards.
Aitzaz made a strategic made on the insistence of the goof nawaz (I however do not question his principled stance) and paid for it. I’m not implying that the lawyers and the crowd should have stormed the parliament but the spectacle of 500,000 people would have scared the sh*t out of the head honchos of musharraf, the PPP and effected their psyche.
Another 5 hours with a 30 min. sit-in was all that mattered as the working hour begins at 10 A.M No special arrangements had to be made. According to my analysis( I hope I’m wrong),
Ali Ahmed Kurd was not sick. He was deliberately kept away from the stage as he was ambiguous in his intentions that he was going to besiege the parliament.
I see great division within the ranks and file of the top lawyers’ movement leadership and this movement has come to its un-ceremonial end. People wanted to change and all they got was frustration and complete exhaustion.
