J'voudrais voir le monde ร l'envers!
I rent at One Constitution Avenue. At 1 AM last night, I was rudely awakened by heavy banging on the door. My first panicked thought: thieves. Instead, I faced nearly 50 heavily armored police officers โ rude, aggressive, and clearly itching to beat us into compliance if we dared resist. They didnโt deny it was a forced eviction. No court order was shown. No documents. No explanation. Just a blunt command: vacate by 12 noon today. Only later did I learn this midnight raid had the blessing of a court. Why am I not surprised? This is textbook โprotocol courtโ justice in Pakistan.0 The building has been stuck in litigation for 20 years. During that entire time, courts happily let people buy apartments, invest their life savings, and rent them out in good faith. Individual property rights and tenancy rights were cheerfully recognized โ until suddenly, overnight, they werenโt. What kind of court authorises 50 armed goons to storm a residential building at 1 AM with zero notice and zero reasons given? As I noted in my recent Substack piece on judicial/bureaucratic over-reach: โIf One Constitution Avenue, Royal Palm, and Nasla Tower show how Pakistan destroys value after it is createdโฆโ โ exactly. Prime assets are strangled by endless litigation, then casually demolished by judicial fiat while the real value to society and residents is ignored.0 I called journalists. Crickets. No TV crews, no radio teams. Apparently this midnight spectacle wasnโt newsworthy. Who needs this judiciary? Our judges seem less like guardians of the Constitution and more like uneducated protocol seekers and bureaucratic enablers โ quick to crush private investment and citizen rights while protecting their own colonial-era privileges. Is this judgment even lawful? And even if eviction were somehow justified after 20 years, does it have to be executed with such thuggish, inhumane brutality โ trampling basic dignity and due process? This isnโt justice. Itโs asset destruction dressed up in legal robes. A terrifying precedent for every tenant and property owner in the country. @nadeemhaque/note/p-187624159?r=6t51ge&utm_medium=ios&utm_source=notes-share-action" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">substack.com/@nadeemhaque/nโฆ
Thatโs her fuckin husband. Whatโs wrong with this? I guess itโs okay to show Danish Taimoorโs character handcuffing his wife forcefully or throwing her on the floor, but a husband loving his wife canโt be shown, it has to be cut out.
