ABSTRACT

Masood Zafar is an imposing man, with big hands that catch your attention. He’s warming to his point, the audience right with him. ‘I don’t think you realize the destabilizing effect you people are having in Pakistan. You talk about local democracy and empowerment, the separation of powers, reminding us, don’t we all know it, that this has eluded Pakistan since Partition in 1947. And then you support this military dictator.’
