By IRNA,
Islamabad : Veteran lawyer and former Pakistani politician on Tuesday said there is no space for dictatorial regimes and monarchs in modern world and very soon they would become things of the past.
Ahmed Raza Khan Kasuri told IRNA that today is the age of rising democracy and movements in Muslim countries have shown that people want their freedom back.
“Kings and dictators are parts of history…there is no space for dictators in modern world”, he went on to say.
Mr. Kasuri commenting over the statement of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad about the rising awareness in Muslim world said that there is no doubt about that world is going to experience a major change.
President Ahmadinejad in a speech to Iranian officials and representatives of the Islamic countries has said “today, we witness that humanity is striving to realize the truth and the world is on the threshold of an enormous change and achieving justice is rapidly turning into a global objective.’
“The statement of Iranian President has a lot of wisdom”, noted Ahmed Raza Khan Kasuri.
Ahmadinejad’s remarks came as pro-democracy movements have been spreading across Arab countries in recent weeks.
The Pakistani legal expert expressing his views opined that though the world has progressed a lot in the field of technology but the graph of morality is declining rapidly.
“Morally we are going down”, he believed.
Former politician was of the view that a new trend has been set up in Tunisia, Egypt, Yemen, Bahrain and Libya. He added that movements against dictators would not stop and further spread especially to those Muslim countries where there are dictatorial regimes.
“I strongly believe that this is an age of rising democracy”, said Mr. Kasuri. “World is now on threshold of major change”, he stated.
The advocate opined the concept of executive monarchy does not synchronize with awareness.
Ahmed Raza Kasuri alleged that Western powers are trying to create a divide among Muslim states so that the countries could become weak. “The differences among Muslims help pro-Western dictatorial regimes to prolong their rules”, he stated.
The senior lawyer said that neo-colonized rule is also a mode to divide Muslims.
Last month in Tunisia, nationwide outrage at the government’s suppressive policies sparked a massive revolution that ended the 23-year-long rule of its president Zine El Abidine Ben Ali.
On February 11, the popular revolution in Egypt, which started on January 25, ended the three-decade-long rule of US-backed dictator Hosni Mubarak.
Other pro-democracy uprisings have also flourished in Bahrain, Yemen, Libya, Algeria and Jordan, as more Arab countries are expected to witness similar popular revolts.
