Asif, it wasn't just the Singh case where he screwed up. In his loyalty to Musharraf, Burni Singh said that the CJ of Pakistan was not under house arrest and was occupying the residence forcefully and illegally. This is what he said:
THE CHIEF JUSTICE IS NOT UNDER HOUSE ARREST! THERE ARE NO RESTRICTIONS ON HIM OR HIS FAMILY! IN REALITY HE IS NOT VACATING HIS HOUSE!
Spock I am not sure why Burni said all this but quite obviously this is all bull. I watched a Capital Talk episode in July/August last year (the topic was whether Mush should give up his uniform before seeking a new term) featuring both Burni and Imran Khan. In that episode Burni seemed to agree with everything Imran was saying and did not come across as Mush's chamcha at all. And if I remember correctly he told Hamid Mir, " sadar sahab humaari aankhon mein dhol na jhonkein kyonke hum press wale jaante hein k President k saath saath PM k ikhtiyaaraat bhi wo istimaal kar rahe hein". So I was a bit surprised when Burni was made care taker minister....and even more surprised that he accepted the post. To be frank I am a bit confused about him
