Public overwhelmed with joy
ISLAMABAD: As soon as the Supreme Court announced its judgment restoring Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry as the chief justice of Pakistan here on Friday, the people were overwhelmed with jubilation not only within the country but also abroad.
Such a feeling of jubilation and celebration among people had never been witnessed before. The people got so excited that they embraced each other and distributed sweets. Besides ordinary citizens, even those associated with the ruling Pakistan Muslim League and the bureaucracy took to the streets flashing victory signs. Most of them were recalling the happenings of the past four months, including the public rallies in the scorching summer heat led by lawyers and representatives of all sections of society.
Several bloody incidents also took place to claim many precious lives. A long judicial battle was fought. Some sceptics, however, feared that the good news received after so many sacrifices might be short-lived. They were of the view that the unprecedented happiness, which had rarely been seen, might be momentary. They were praying to Allah Almighty to make this happiness long-lasting and also continue so that the emerging atmosphere could stay, strengthening the democratic institutions in the country.
