Asim,
True PPP is trying to save Zardari. But may I ask as to why the judiciary does not take up the Asghar Khan case of 1996 (the 'Mehran Gate' scandal)? There are many other instances where judges, generals, and non-PPP politicians have not found the long arm of this biased-judiciary. Can anyone really believe that the Chaudry and Sharif Brothers have not misused power and done corruption? Why are they so clean? They have been in power since 1977 for years.
As I said, partial justice is injustice. Same judges were supporting Musharraf's coup. Same judges prosecuting the Sharif Brothers. Same judges--when the wind changed direction, are following the public-mood.
In country where there is price-hike during the month of Ramazan, in a country where cricketers are routinely accused of match-fixing, in a country where people like Hamid Gul can publicly admit to illegality of the Mehran Gate scandal--and yet gets away with that--we see a judiciary hellbent on sending the NRO case of Zardari back to the Swiss Court while there are 8000+ other beneficiaries' of NRO.
I detect an agenda. A vile agenda. The same one which brought down ZAB. The same kind of people who call the Lal Masjid fanatics as 'innocent civilians'. We have been through this route before in Pakistani politics.
These judges should be held to account if for nothing else than to have supported the coup of Musharraf if they are so technically focused on the law. You know, there WERE a few judges who refused to accept Musharraf's coup and redesigned. Why not follow the Article 6 and see the meaning of 'abetting' the coup?
Mine is not a defence of Zardari. I would be happy if he AND many others who have benefited from corruption are taken to task. Until that happens I think this is not an impartial judiciary.
