I thought a post isn’t sufficient,  I need to do more in order to get my voice be heard. I initiated Pakistan Bloggers Movement to invite all the bloggers to join the protest. I created a protest badge also, to be displayed on blogs. To my surprise, Pakistani bloggers including a couple of top bloggers joined the movement and did a dedicated post about the protest.

I was also offering a link back to the members’ blogs. A couple of bloggers joined the movement just for the link back, neverthless, hundreds of blogs joined the movement and displayed the badge without even notifying me for the link back. And you might have noticed this badge on various Pakistani blogs.

So I really salute and appreciate all those bloggers who realized their responsibility and joined us in raising voice. Therefor we were been heard and featured in various international news websites and blogs.
