Yar Pakistan main (and most of the world) kdhr fundamental rights hain?
I gave you the example of a company before, you can't discuss internal workings in public. You can't go out and say "My company's VP is a thief and he is a crook" and then say it was freedom of speech.
As I have argued many times before, "Freedom of speech" is a utopian term, not applicable in the real world as of today. In Any country.
As I said before, freedom of speech is always defined by the underlying prejudices of a society or community. Har kisi ka freedom of speech alag hota hai.
Again, I am not arguing this specific case.
Merely arguing the point that some have brought up regarding free speech.
Having a difference of opinion is something different, defending your leader's talk or not is different, laying bare all the internal workings of a party is different.
Farooq Sattar, Pervez Rashid, Qaim Ali Shah do not go around telling every willy nilly thing in their party...Pervez Rashid doesn't go around saying that us din PM house main meri aur Ch Nisar ki larayi hui thi or Farooq Sattar doesn't say sometihng like that.
Secondly, good thing you brought this issue up. Do you know that in our national assembly, a member has to vote according to his party's policy or he gets booted out? So where is free speech then? Freedom goes right out the window huh? In our very own Assembly.
Again, I am not advocating that Justice Wajih should be suspended, or this is a right move. This is not. And I protest this. Paghal pan hai yeh.
But the freedom of speech argument is wrong in my opinion.
If this would have been any other person, let's say Mr A, think about it. There is a party rule that no one talks about internal matters in the media. Mr A does. Violates the party rules. Gets suspended. Simple, and just.
But you and I both know it doesn't work like that in the real world.
So on the face of it, Justice Wajih is rightly suspended. But in reality, paghal pan hai to suspend him.
