Re: Another kick in govt...

The whole movement is NOT about Iftikhar Chaudhary as a person but people tired of few generals meddling in all afairs of state.
Yes icon.
And Flame and Dawa,
that's my point exactly.
It all revolves more around how some "...people [are] tired of few generals meddling in all afairs of state" more than anything, even more than Justice Iftikhar.
And good gesture I must say of the CJ to discourage slogans, but gestures are only that much, actions speak louder, and his actions from day 1 have been political by all means. He's riding political camels that have propelled his issue to great heights while those political camels only benefit from propelling any issue against the govt. His lawyer is a top opposition man-making it all appear a PPP game. Who would have cared for the CJ had the political parties not made this big a deal, for their gain and certainly not the honor of judiciary or the prestige and esteem and love of one man who was a judge? Now CJ Iftikhar may be in it for anything from mere survival, to being allured by the charms of becoming a hero, or perhaps even just because he's now stuck, or being excited due to finding so many 'friends & followers' suddenly. Or, to rid Pakistan of Musharraf--and that comes down to what we call politics.
Either the CJ is a fool to think all his supporters are madly in love with him or as a learned man he realizes whats going on and is playing along, then again, he's a political accomplice. For surely he must atleast realize that this same 'wuklaa bradri' has traditionally maintained silence at all matters; creation of Bangladesh, hanging of Bhutto, Zia's coup, Nawaz's trampling of SC, BB's lawlessness, Musharraf's counter-coup, his govt, his amendments and so on. What awoke them to this state of activity suddenly for the first time was nothing but heavy dozes of political steroids injected by political elements, who of course are using them. And meanwhile all lawyers have political leanings, hopes and aspirations, so they are all game. If this govt goes, the various bar councils' presidents will be found as ministers, advisors or even senators.
