Re: CJ's Lawyer - Called in Court for his statement...
Last wek on TV1 (owned by Interflow Comm Ltd) their current affairs talkshow host Dr Danish had 3 guests over. Dr Barrister Shahida Jamil former Fed Law Minister, Dr Barrister Mohammad Ali Saif Legal and Constitutional Expert GoP and Advocate Munir-ur-Rehman Secy SHCBA.
The program was about 2 hours long. During the discussions Munir A Malik also called in. And his statements which should have made headlines the next day but in this age of reporting by choice, unsurprisingly didn't, were to the following effect;
When asked by Dr Danish if he thought the CJ issue is a judicial or political issue? *
Though being a lawyer he said the movement was now beyond Chaudry Iftikhar and he blatantly expressed his political motives in sating that 'we'll rid the country of Army rule, ensure judicial supremacy and so on...'
*When asked what would he do and what his reaction would be if the SC verdict is against Chaudry Iftikhar, because as the President and govt have said, they'd accept the SC verdict no matter which side it eventually favours, so would he and his fellow lawyers, judges etc accept the SC's Supreme verdict even if it is against the Chaudry Iftikhar and their desires?
He clearly and openly said that if the verdict from the SC was against the disputed CJ, he and his fellows would not accept it and take the matter to the SC of the people of Pakistan, i.e. Awam ki Adalat (whatever that means or socialunrest?), and would burn the aiwaan (could mean parliament, president house or SC!). In saying this he openly stated that he as well as many of his fellows want and demand only 1 type of verdict and if its not according to their will, they will refuse even themselves to abide by the supremacy of the SC which they at the moment are apparently crying for while deceiving the public. They will refuse to accept the verdict and hence commit contempt of court. Shows how hollow and corrupt their own agendas and false claims for righteousnesses or judicial supremacy etc are...
When Dr Danish asked Barrister Mohammed Ali Saif to comment, he said 'I’m thankful that Munir Malik has expressed his true inner feelings openly and made it clear to everyone what his professionalism, motives etc are.' He also advised Dr Danish that it was good that they talked to him at that time of the night (10pm onwards) as Munir Malik was probably in such a state (pointing at being drunk etc?) that he was blurting out the truth and not covering it with sugar. He also said thet Munir Malik should stop being a lawyer or should join any political party of his choice because his interests are not hidden any more.
Apart from all these comments, Munir Malik also unleashed his usual unprofessional and immoral as well as treacherous remarks for Pervez Musharraf, who apart from just Pervez Musharraf is also a General the COAS Pakistan Army and President IRoP, and any mudslinging at him atleats from senior legal professionals sounds much irresponsible to say the least. More so when apparently the President says he’d abide by the SC and Law, which should rest their concerns and bias against him atleast for the moment or until they're saying its a judicial issue and they're involved as legal professionals and not politicians! But then again that would be when everyone would hail SC and Judicial Supremacy, unfortunately though its only an empty slogan and even judicial characters are and act dubious.
When Adv Munir-ur-Rehman, Munir Malik's colleague, was asked to comment on his companion and representative's blatant views, he was unable to answer and literally began dodging questions lamely, but as the host trapped him, he couldn't endorse nor reject Munir Malik's views because he was scared of making a controversial statement and unleashing wrath as contempt of court and on the other hand displeasing his leader!
Ridiculous.
