PM Gilani torpedoed by NAB ordinance issued by President Zadari with out consult !
Prime Minister Gilani is diligent in his attendance in both the Senate and parliament, but after the events of last Friday he may choose to examine the notice of the day's business a little more closely before turning up. To say that the PM was discomfited by a NAB Ordinance issued by President Zardari on September 16 understates the situation considerably. He was not just discomfited, he was embarrassed and made to look either a fool or party to a conspiracy to deceive parliament. A real conspiracy this time, not the smoke-and-mirrors type of conspiracy so beloved of his lord and master the president. The cause of his discomfort was the fact that he appeared to know nothing of this ordinance despite it having been signed by him before it went to the president. So how come he was ignorant of it if he was supposed to have signed it or did another hand, not his, do the signing before passing it to the president? If the latter is the case then does the one who did the signing have delegated powers to do so?
Such was the obvious difficulty of the PM and so blatant the manipulation that the opposition staged a walkout, somewhat surprisingly accompanied by Senator Raza Rabbani of the PPP, who left in silence, doubtless ashamed to be associated with the shenanigans that led to the PM taking a torpedo in the vitals. And who pressed the button that fired the torpedo that caused the PM such difficulty? Why none other than our old friend Bomber Babar Awan, the federal law minister, who had cobbled together the amendment to the NAB Ordinances in such a way as to curtail the power of the NAB chairman. This was then supposedly signed by the PM and passed to the president's office where it sat for a fortnight before suddenly appearing in the last day of business of the current session. Odour of prime *** was smelled by one and all, and the PM, floundering and off-balance at being outflanked by the law minister, said that if there was any wrong done in the promulgation of this ordinance then he was ready to rectify it. Hot words were exchanged on all sides and Bomber Awan disclaimed all knowledge or intent of anything remotely resembling a conspiracy or cover-up. No matter what is said or done we once again see the president's men undermining the prime minister and ensuring that Mr Gilani gets the message as to who is in charge of the torpedo locker. So did the PM sign the ordinance?
