Responding to President Musharraf's controversial suspension of Chief Justice Iftikhar Chaudhry, PakCast is accelerating our schedule. Beginning this week and until further notice, we will record a new installment every Tuesday and publish on Friday of the same week.

PakCast is actively soliciting a full range of perspectives on the current situation and its implications by voice mail and email. Join the debate by sharing your views via the telephone numbers, Skype ID or email address shown on this page.

PakCast vol. 3, no. 5, recorded Tuesday, March 13, 2007, is now online and features views expressed by Nausherwan Lahori, Khalid R Hasan and Haroon Rashid, as well as an extended comment from Islamabad-based law lecturer Ghazala Minallah, whose father, Safdar Shah, went into exile after refusing to vote with the Supreme Court majority that sentenced Z.A. Bhutto to hang. "Today I am reminded of that black period in our judicial history," she says. "Once again our Constitution has been abused and so has our judiciary, and we as a nation are at a cross-roads just as our judiciary is."
