On Sunday morning Pakistan awoke to chaos. Private media had been ordered to stop broadcasting by Pakistan’s President Pervez Musharraf. Editors from newspapers and local television stations said that their broadcasts were interfered and their phone lines were cut. One station was even raided by police that wanted to take away the broadcasting equipment that they had. President Musharraf says that this is to help stop terrorism and by banning the media terrorists won’t have an influence on the people. If you ask me I think that Musharraf’s decision to control the people with the military will only lead to more violence and his plan will soon come crashing down on his head.
