There have been petitions circulating on this forum demanding the Islamabad timeline be reduced. There have been individuals organizing visits to their MP's offices and there have been individuals engaged in letter campaigns. I believe both efforts have failed to budge the conservative governments stance on this issue.
I believe it is now time for the spouses and husbands in Pakistan to organize sit-ins in front of the Canadian Embassy in Islamabad. These sits-ins should last long enough for the local media to print the story and not let it go. The english media, the urdu media, geo tv,etc should be approached and made aware of our suffering.
The Canadian government is taking close to three years to decide the majority of cases without any rhyme and reason. If being a Pakistani is a crime then the Canadian government should come out and openly say so and stop playing with and ruining countless of innocent marriages. There is no excuse for this mean-spiritedness and cold-heartedness. How can anyone with a conscience expect a marriage to survive under such circumstances? No other civilized western country has such a timeline.
So who is up for it? Anybody?
