Sherry Rehman has resigned from her post as information minister after Geo TV was banned across the country by President Asif Ali Zardari.

A new low has been reached by the so called democratic government of Pakistan which has tried to stiffle speech by banning Geo TV throughout the country. In a step taken out of Musharraf's book, Asif Zardari has himself tunrned into a dictator.

BY SIKANDER HAYAT I have written before and there is a need for me to write it again that Mr Asif Ali Zardari has done what no other in Pakistan Peoples Party could do and that is to fight for the same people against whom founder of the Pakistan Peoples Party Zulfikar Ali Bhutto fought against and eventually gave his life. People Party was a party which stood for the oppressed and marginalised, which promised ‘roti,kapra or makaan’ to the masses and which fought for the right of the people to protest. To protest against the injustice of the state, to protest against the overbearing establishment and protest for the right to protest. Mr Zardari has shown that he is not capable of handling the party which was once lead by a giant like Zulfikar Ali Bhutto let alone lead a country of 160 million people. He has shown himself to be an incompetent ruler who has turned the running of government into a small time business. He acts like someone who is most comfortable in a smoke filled drawing
