PAKPAC Statement on Emergency
The imposition of emergency in Pakistan is
an extreme measure in response to the rapidly deteriorating
law and order situation in Pakistan . It is regrettable that
Pakistan is confronted by such grave challenges where law
enforcement agencies, the Armed Forces and moderate forces
are increasingly becoming a victim of terrorism through suicide
bombings, says a PAKPAC statement. It adds:
The Pakistani American Public Affairs Committee (PAKPAC) urge
President Musharraf to continue to maintain his resolve to
fight terrorism and expeditiously take steps to restore complete
democracy in Pakistan. The countless sacrifices made by the
people of Pakistan including the armed forces should not be
in vain. A stable, secure and democratic Pakistan is a must
to win the US led global war against terrorism.
The Pakistani American Public Affairs Committee (PAKPAC) is
a nationwide, membership based, not for-profit lobbying organization
registered with the US Federal Election Commission. PAKPAC's
mission is to advance and strengthen US-Pakistan relations,
while working tirelessly to preserve, protect and promote
ideals of civil liberties commonly cherished by all Americans.
