I don’t know much about the CHANGE in America, but i see the Change is coming to Pakistan, and its reflected by the people of Pakistan today. Thousands of people from all parts of the country participated in the peaceful Long March called by lawyers for the restoration of Justice and Rule of Law. Long March resulted in the restoration of all judges along with Chief Justice Iftekhar Chowdhury, as Prime minister of Pakistan Yusuf Raza Gillani announced during his address to the Nation today. Chief justice of Pakistan will take charge on 21st of this march.

However, it is reported that Geo News TV transmission has been blocked in some cities of the country, including some parts of Karachi, Hyderabad, Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Lahore, Quetta, Multan, Rawlakot, Muzaffarabad, Deepalpur and Sargodha. In some cities the cable operators have been asked to move the Geo News channel at the end of the channel list. Following is Geo TV live streaming link.

Aaj TV also reported that aaj tv transmission has also been blocked or the channel has been moved to the end of the channels list by the cable operators.
Obviously this act by the authories is showing that they are going to do anything to stop the Long March to Islamabad.

President Asif Ali Zardari
The controversial ordinance of establishment of Mobile Courts in Pakistan, which was issued under the article 89 of the constitution, has been withdrawn by the President Asif Ali Zardari on advise of Prime Minister Yusuf Raza Gilani just one day after its promulgation.
Earlier this ordinance was heavily opposed by lawyers community, PML(N) and other opposition parties which considered it as an attempt to stop the country-wide Long March on 14th of March 2009.
