Sir: Once again the Supreme Court has allowed General Musharraf to hold the dual office of President and COAS. Despite great expectations from the newly revived judiciary it looks like nothing has changed since Justice Munir. The ‘Doctrine of Necessity’ still seems to reign supreme in the country. We as a nation should realise that if liberties and freedoms are to be won, then the people must stand up for their rights and show continued resistance. Winston Churchill once said “a pessimist sees trouble even in opportunity, while an optimist sees opportunity in each trouble”. Pakistanis should heed his advice.DR AZHAR MUKHTAR SINDHUBahawalpur
