Why Sharif’s ouster is dangerous for Pakistan

[Emmie]

In Watergate scandal, Nixon had to go for charges like lying to the nation, obstruction of justice, contempt of Congress etc etc. Monica Lewinsky case almost got Clinton impeached for perjury and obstruction of justice. Lying to Americans is wrong whereas lying to Pakistanis is okay, gist of the whole article.

Entire article is factually incorrect, for instance following excerpt. It's Barkha Dutt so I can understand.

In fact, this verdict is the exact opposite. It weakens the country’s tenuous democracy and allows its all-powerful army to grab power without having to formally seize it. Pakistan’s Supreme Court did not even permit Sharif the benefit of a legal trial, accepting instead the findings of an investigative panel, on which two of the six members were from the same military establishment that wanted his exit. “This is a judicial coup,”

NS was never disqualified on the basis JIT's findings, everything disputable that surfaced in probe was sent to trial court.

I am sure WP has way better witters/opinion makers than Barkha Dutt.

Above all why NS want confrontation with army?

For Bl**d* civilian supremacy as per the constitution.

is it the only political card he has in hands to muster support from west?

You can't understands, I know already.

He is an old shrewd politician why he did not succeed in having other strong cards?

He is Shrewd as hell, that is why he didn't opt to go for President pardon but hit the streets with the popular narratives. That is why i always use term "Burger Kids" it didn't actually mean i'm talking about teens.

Obviously people on the outside don't want Pakistan to develop and be corruption free.

when you have only one argument that is yoy already know that others will not understand then it is end of an argument itself. so nvm lets wait what happens in comings elections

 

[Kabira]

Most of people writing in "foreign" in support of NS are Indians He shouldn't get away with money laundry if NAB can prove it, will set good precedent since he is most powerful politician in Pakistan. This will make PPP the most corrupt party ever cry less when ever NAB act against them. Tareen too look scared now.

Critics are welcomed open arms.

Defenders of the dishonest i.e morally corrupt

Never

LOL now you want critics of your liking

Those you call morally corrupt and dishonest, isn't that your own perception ?

You will welcome critics with open arms provided they are upto your set benchmarks

NS was never disqualified on the basis JIT's findings, everything disputable that surfaced in probe was sent to trial court.

Do you really believe that the verdict so delivered was due to the facts that surfaced during the trial

OR

Has the facts surfaced at a very opportune time to facilitate the Verdict

Maybe i am just a positive kinda guy who is easily content looking at the bigger picture.

Crucify me hahaha

 

[Thəorətic Muslim]

NS's India policy caused his ouster thanks to the Pakistan Military.

Now, what's the reason for no peace between India and Pakistan when Musharraf was the COAS and President?

There was an agreement waiting signatures, what happened then?

 

[Indus Pakistan]

Nawaz Sharif

Crock of shite. Are you even aware that NS is a basket product of another military dictator Gen Zia. How can a basket of a military dictator who would never have got a break into politics complain about the army on principles?

If he had a problem with the military as matter of principle then why was he nurtured, nursed and cultivated by General Zia ul Haq? The fact is NS would have nobody was it not for a military dictator. So it comes rich for NS to talk about a civilian supremacy. That would like SS chief Heinrich Himmler saying he stands by Jewish rights.

Hypocrite.

If hanging people on the basis of collective conscience of society has legality of some sort attached to it then what's the odd with declaration based on smoking gun? A fact is a fact, doesn't matter what time it appears. A fact remains a fact even if appears seconds before conviction or seconds before exoneration. An innocent shouldn't be convicted and a culprit shouldn't get away with the crime, that's the whole argument.

 

[Long.Live.Pakistan]

People can cry as much as they want but as long as PML(N) has support of masses then they cannot be defeated by any power. Youthyan and imranoo insulting the voters of PML(N) will not change their minds. If we look at politics of Imran since 2013 then its all about anarchism , politics of confrontation, looking at empire, dharna. joining hand with fasadi like qadri etc so it seem his agenda is not corruption but to overthrow the PML(N) government .. he joined hand with even PPP for whom he was bashing in achieving this goal.

so we can't punish someone for Corruption ? if other countries do, its a good Step but if Pakistan do its not Halal .. some people are mad cause their investment and asset is Gone .

Punishment should be for everyone and there should not be any holy cow
Last time I heard that there is also one judge whose name appeared in panama case. Nobody care. Nobody know

and Musharraf violated constitution and was involved in corruption as openly admitted that he got some money to buy London and Dubai property but he never faced trail and was given safe exit

How many self made politicians our respective countries had ever produced. Most of them had blessings of someone or the other. Be it miitary or family lineage or some superpower country

An innocent shouldn't be convicted and a culprit shouldn't get away with the crime, that's the whole argument.

Agreed, lets see when the trial of an ex-dictator presently residing in Dubai commences for high treason and murder of an ex-PM

He was not punished for corruption. It was a mockery. Any case of corruption requires a trial. This was simply court ruling on a report JIT by the military intelligence guys.

As per article 62 he was ousted for not being sadiq enough. That's highly subjective definition. Judicial activism at it worst on the back of military support.

 

[VCheng]

In May 2013 after his electoral victory, Nawaz Sharif said something that for years, no Pakistani leader had dared to express. Sharif told me, “civilian supremacy over the military is a must.” He went a step further and said, “The prime minister is the boss, not the army chief. This is what the constitution says. We all have to live within the four walls of the constitution.”

To say that is a political death warrant. No politician in Pakistan can bite the hand that creates him/her. Those who giveth also taketh away.

Why do care again?
