#2:

Supporters of Benazir Bhutto clashed with police in front of parliament Wednesday after she urged party activists into the streets to protest emergency rule, deepening the uncertainty engulfing a Pakistan already shaken by rising Islamic militancy.

Seeking to position herself as the only leader able to unite the country to confront Islamic extremism, the former prime minister toughened her rhetoric against President Gen. Pervez Musharraf, but she left open the possibility of resuming talks if he ends the crackdown.

Saying more than 400 members of her party were arrested Wednesday, Bhutto said she had not negotiated with Musharraf since he resorted to strong-arm tactics over the weekend. But she said talks could resume if he yielded to growing domestic and international pressure to end emergency rule.

“If Gen. Musharraf wants to kick start the negotiations for a peaceful transition, then he must revive the constitution, retire as chief of the army staff by Nov. 15 and hold the election as scheduled,” Bhutto said.

She said her party would stage a “long march” over the 200 miles from Lahore to Islamabad on Tuesday unless Musharraf agreed to her conditions. Article

Bhutto said her talks with Musharraf reached a “deadlock” when the general imposed emergency rule and she has no meetings scheduled with him.

“We were engaged in political dialogue for peaceful transition to democracy,” Bhutto said. “Now we find ourselves back in a dictatorship.”

Bhutto said Musharraf must quit as army chief by Nov. 15 as promised, an election schedule must be announced by Nov. 16 and elections must be held before Jan. 15.

“Musharraf can open the doors for negotiation after meeting our demands,” she said.

Bhutto also demanded that the ban on thrice-elected prime ministers should be ended. She was prime minister of Pakistan twice between 1988 and 1996.

“Her comment about deadlock seems to be an emotional statement,” Information Minister Mohammed Ali Durrani said in a phone interview from Islamabad. “Every politician knows there is no dead end in political discussions. The long march plan is just a statement and there are many ifs and buts in her statements.” Article

Benazir Bhutto, the one Pakistani politician believed capable of inspiring mass protests, [Wednesday] vowed to lead a “long march” to bring down the regime of the president, General Pervez Musharraf, unless the military dictator lifts the state of emergency and holds elections.

It could lead to a bloody confrontation between the country’s powerful military and Ms Bhutto’s supporters.

After months of prevarication over confronting Gen Musharraf, and amid behind-the-scenes negotiations, Ms Bhutto, a former prime minister who recently returned from exile, finally broke with him.…

Under the state of emergency, all public meetings are banned, but Ms Bhutto’s Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) has pledged to go ahead with a planned rally tomorrow in Rawalpindi, a city that borders Islamabad and houses the headquarters of the army.

However, the mayor of Rawalpindi, Javed Akhlas, said: “We will ensure that they don’t violate the ban on rallies, and if they do it, the government will take action according to the law.”

He added that there was a “strong threat” of another suicide attack against Ms Bhutto - her jubilant homecoming last month was shattered by suicide bombers, who killed more than 140 people.

If this was indeed the first shot in a rebellion led by Ms Bhutto, Pakistan’s military ruler is under grave threat.

Her demand he stick by a previous pledge to give up his army job and serve as a civilian head of state, will be very difficult to meet.

Hasan Askari Rizvi, a political analyst, said: “The moment he quits as army chief, the army is not in his control. Musharraf would then become an isolated person as he does not have a political base.”

Some pointed out that Ms Bhutto did not demand that the judges Gen Musharraf sacked be reinstated. Those same judges had threatened to revive corruption allegations against her. Article

#3 — shorter version: Nothing to see here; move along. Or else.

Pakistani President Gen. Pervez Musharraf will likely end emergency rule in two or three weeks, the president of the ruling party said in an interview with Pakistan’s Dawn newspaper.

“I’m sure it will end in two to three weeks as President Pervez Musharraf is aware of the consequences of long emergency rule,” Pakistan Muslim League president Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain is quoted as saying in the English-language paper’s Wednesday edition.

Hussain rejected rumours Musharraf could be overthrown, saying the president has the full support of the army.

“This could be a wishful thinking of some people but I can assure you that Musharraf is not going anywhere.” Article

#4 — actions belie the propagandistic claptrap just above and bespeak ongoing dictatorial crackdown.

The government Wednesday banned the sale of satellite dishes in major cities of Karachi, Rawalpindi and Lahore to block the access to local and foreign news channels, leaving state-run channels the only medium of information on the prevailing crucial political situation of the country.

Dozens of private news channels were taken off the air on Saturday afternoon ahead of the proclamation of state of emergency in the country by General Pervez Musharraf. In fact disappearance of news channels intrigued the nation about the impending extra-constitutional step.

The people were left at the mercy of state-run news channel that has been running and re-running Musharraf address to the nation, in which he has justified his decision and explained to the international community to understand the criticality of the situation.

Since then people have been fishing for news about what is happening across the country and implications of the emergency.

The quest has brought back the glory satellite dishes of the early 1990s in the two major cities and adjoining areas. “Prior to emergency, satellite dish prices were between USD 100 to USD 120 but now their prices have shoot up to USD 200 to USD 300 within last few days”, said Ijaz Khokhar, a vendor, who has sold more than 100 dishes in last four days to the general public as well different organizations including two banks.

“We had become addicted to round-the-clock news, particularly during the political turmoil the country had been going through most part of the year”, said another buyer, adding that the ban on sale of dishes will further complicate the situation.

To control the information frenzy, the government Wednesday banned the sale of satellite dishes in the major cities. Police sources told KUNA that in Lahore police arrested 14 sellers who resisted closing of their shops. Police raided our shops without showing us any orders and told us to close our shops, said Ayaz Ali Khan, who has a shop in the Imperial Market of adjacent Rawalpindi city. Article
