To Whom It May Concern:
I Prof. (Dr.) Anwar Ul Haque is one of the main petitioners whose petition against Gen. Musharraf was before the Honorable Supreme Court's larger bench comprising of 11 honorable Judges under the leadership of Justice Javaid Iqbal, I would like to state that since the 7 members of the bench had been forcefully stopped from working by the respondent abusing his state powers, I have no confidence whatsoever in the judges who took the oath under illegal and unconstitutional PCO. I will not like to peruse my case in any other bench except those containing all those judges of the bench who rightfully refused to take an illegal and unconstitutional oath. My plea in my petition was and is that so called October Presidential Elections do not qualify even for the word and term "Election" as it;
1) Bypasses 160 million Pakistanis' consent as of 2007
2) Deprives millions of voters their voting right who had acquired the voting right since 2002 because of attaining voting age
3) Deprives many Pakistanis to reflect their change of opinion about Gen. Musharraf for the worst after seeing his Government's dismal performance over last five years
4) Deprives the right of accountability to the voters who in legitimate elections always are given chance to evaluate the performance of the past Government and then to either elect or reject it
5) Did not provide time at all for discussion and debates among candidates over important issues; this debate is essential part of democratic elections.
(Reference Encyclopedia Britanica and Wikipedia)
Elections whether direct i.e. that of assemblies or indirect through assemblies i.e. that of Prime Minister and President must reflect the fresh mandate of people, otherwise assemblies may be allowed to elect people for 100 years. It does not matter even if you get 100% votes from an incompetent assembly People of Pakistan are master and they elect their servants in the elections. No one can deprive them their right. Of course Gen. Musharraf while in Government service can not contest elections regardless of enormous constitutional juggleries.
To me, like almost all Pakistanis the Supreme Court is intact and is comprised of those judges who did not take oath on PCO whether they carry out their proceedings in a house or under a tree and hence I can not allow my case to be heard by those judges who became part and parcel of the gross violation of constitution and law.

Peopple are very very angry at this moment. However they are confused how to go about it. Insha Allah people will develop a sustainable reaction. We have to support those people who go in jails and/or tortured. We have to grow above ourselves. The shortest andsurest way is to inject Quran in the veins of Muslims and to use Quran for the moment. Let us think hard and find out and develop workable soultions so that new set up is good and sustained. May Allah help us all.
