Pak military sees biggest threat from Kulsoom
KARACHI. July 9 The Pakistani military regime last week launched its first major crackdown on opposition since the October coup, and In the process turned a former housewife into a political juggernaut, analysts say. reports AFP.
Hundreds of former ruling party politicians and activists were arrested in a pre-dawn sweep Friday all because Kulsoom Nawaz, the wife of ousted prime minister Nawaz Sharif, had planned to lead a motorcade to raise funds for drought victims.
Kulsoom was herself detained for several hours Saturday after she sped through police roadblocks around her house and led police on a bizarre car chase through the streets of Lahore.
She had earlier lashed out at the military authorities and called on Pakistanis to rise up for democracy.
"It is a reign of terror unleashed on the people of Punjab. I appeal to all patriotic people to come forward and play their role for restoration of democracy." Kulsoom said.
The authorities have defended the move as necessary to uphold an eight-month-old law banning political rallies. They say Kulsoom was planning to turn the procession Into yet another an attack on the regime.
But observers say the move
has backfired and propelled Kulsoom into the forefront of Pakistani politics. They say the woman who once said "my Job is to look after the kitchen" Is now the only opponent the military really fears.
Human rights activist B.M Kutty said Kulsoom was now the most prominent figure in Sharifs former ruling party, the Pakistan Muslim League (PML)
"Her other party leaders ... have now gone Into the background She has gained what she could not have achieved in the rally." he said.

hammad Rlaz said Kulsoom deserved credit for taking her fight to the authorities despite strong pressure from within the PML to avoid confrontation at all costs.
"Some of her statements have been more aggressive than her husband Kulsoom must be thankful to the police for making her programme successful." he said
Kulsoom has taken up the challenge of politics since Sharif was toppled in October and subsequently sentenced to life imprisonment for hijacking and terrorism.
But she has no official position with the PML and her role
had been limited to protesting her husband's innocence ana denouncing the government of General Pervez Musharraf.
That is until Friday, when she was suddenly at the centre of Pakistan's latest political storm
"In the post-October scenario she has emerged as Ilie only-leader who Is challenging the military ruler." said Tauseef Ahmed a professor at a college in the southern city of Karachi.
Her party leaders will now come under more pressure from the workers to do something to launch the movement for the restoration of democracy.*
Among her more memorable attacks on the regime, she has demanded Musharraf be tried for treason, called for an investigation of last year's bloody border conflict with India In Kashmir, and denounced her husband's trial as a farce.
But In a recent Interview with AFP. she said she did not want a career in politics and would be happy to go back to domestic duties if her husband is released.
"1 was never involved In politics. My job Is to look after the kitchen But since all our male members are In Jail. 1 have to enter into this arena." she said.
I am here while my husband Is In Jail. Once he is released 1 will resume my duties as a housewife."
