Nawaz Sharif has always wanted to completely free A Q Khan and he was the most respective scientist during his reign he has provided Pakistan with a large industrial setup similar to that of Ayub Khan.
If you have a misconception that he hijacked the lawyers movement for his own election campaign you should remember that he was the first person to say all the way back in 2007 how pro lawyer movement he was.
Their are still lawyers out their who haven't taken oath under the P.C.O and Nawaz is not arguing particularly for the sake of C.J he is arguing for the sake that such actions do not take place again.
In all fairness if you think that he would like a mini coup to reinstate himself then he could have simply shaken hands with PML-Q again and been the strongest party in the Punjab Baluchistan and National assembly and then voted no confidence.
Who would be in power if a long march was held and the politicians step out don't give me idiocy on Musharraf because he may have been pro Pakistan but he was against the system that works in most parts of the world, its like an A.C needs a few cycles to get into proper action.

Personally if anyone has a problem against N.S. he can pose a better candidate but I can't seem to understand why him in particular if anyone is given the oppurtunity he is likely to loot the country.
I think N.S. is a good politician but I don't think that politics is a good thing.
The reason why I think he is the least evil for our country is because he is an industry man his ultimate gain is if the industry thrives he is no landlord who is happy with higher commodity rates and high prices for everything and uneducated people because a lack of spending power hurts his business and effects his growth he is someone who imposed many tax reliefs on many sectors. He started and developed many projects that can help the industry specially the road network of our country.
He is just as human as we are and if he keeps his money in a foreign account to earn money off interest rates it helps him and he has every right to do so he is a steel magnate who has shown progress matched by fellow steel industry men. If someone owns a thriving business he may evade taxes but that is the practical theory behind all the super rich businesses. He needs to educate people to expand his empire he needs to create jobs to keep his business flourishing he needs to help industrialists with associated business because he needs respect in the business community and examples can be seen of Industrial setup during his reign all the jobs that were created in many regions provinces were given budgets Sui power project was expanded and the reason for his downfall was the fact that he had had a war against India and taken hold of Nuclear power and even showed his prowess by giving Inida a solid response after their successfull tests.
To all those who are so pro Musharraf let us remember he was the one leader who went to India made deals with them allowed Indian channels to reopen broadcast in Pakistan for sure I can see the mentality of all pro Musharraf people who probably can't wait to get the next glimpse of Star Plus after getting the forum in my opinion the very reason our society began to lose its Identity was because they were watching Indian drama's and movies. All Marchall Law administrators gave to this country can be seen, people captured thanks to the Dhaka fall (general Yahya) after the war handing land over to India by Bhutto who was also a cheif marshall law administrator, helping create the Taleban and Al qaeda thanks to Gen Zia and then openly stepping into a lost cause thanks to Musharraf. I feel that they may have done temporary good to this country but they did permanent bads.
N.S. tried working with Zardari when it didn't work he went into oppsition the reason why Punjab is being unable to progress is because of Governor Taseer and his constant denial of any rule to pass out in Punjab.
The reason as you can see why PML-Q and PPP are making an alliance is to get hold of power but they openly admit they are doing so because of the harrasment of Nazims who have been told off for not having things done. After all they seem to be working at a hundred percent isn't it?
I think that before levelling arguements people need to think sensibly and properly rather than banging on and on without looking on both sides.
Has national strike ever hurt democracies in the past no infact they have been made to come out stronger and better from them because these movements makes people aware force them to reason and learn more specially those who have the ability to read.
