Re: Aitzaz Ehsan resigns
Did Thereek e Insaf Imran say anything regarding the lawyer's heroic act of beating an old person?
Re: Aitzaz Ehsan resigns
Today Aitzaz Ahsan proved to be like one of those old African âlife-termâ rulers, who would threaten to âresignâ every few years, and then promptly take back their threat after pleas by the sycophants around him. They were good at staging those dramaâs, and so is Aitzaz Ahsan it seems.

EXECUTE THESE LAWYERS
**¡ Arrest Aitezaz Ahsan, Iftikhar Chaudhry, And These Foreign-Funded Hooligans
¡ This country is not ready for a British democracy
¡ President Musharraf has blundered by âtransitioningâ us to this immature democracy**
By AHMED QURAISHI
Tuesday, 8 April 2008.
ISLAMABAD, PakistanâThe lawyers-cum-terrorists involved in the public murder attempt against former federal minister Sher Afgan Khan Niazi need to be arrested, summarily tried, and then executed in public. We cannot allow this to happen in Pakistan.
I wrote my column in The News International today, where a nameless editor censored and removed an entire paragraph on the hypocritical politics of this group of Aitezaz Ahsan- and Iftikhar Chaudhry-led lawyers.
I never thought that two paragraphs from this column â and one prediction about Aitezaz Ahsan â will prove so true in such a short time.
Tonight, Mr. Ahsan has jumped the ship of the lawyersâ movement as I predicted. [The complete column, including the portions censored by an unknown editor in The News, is published below.]
If you are a Pakistani citizen, please take strong exception to the two-faced, double-meaning statements coming from Mr. Ahsan and some politicians in a vain attempt to absolve themselves of the crime of creating and feeding hatred within Pakistanis that almost led to the murder of two gentlemen, Mr. Niazi and the former Sindh chief minister Arbab Ghulam Rahim.
These âhooligan apologistsâ are trying to absolve themselves and the criminal elements in this so-called lawyersâ movement of what clearly are the worst two incidents of undemocratic behavior in Pakistani history and in the history of British democracy that they so love to imitate. Gangsterism is part and parcel of the politics of the undemocratic Pakistani political parties and politicians.
Without any shame, Mr. Shehbaz Sharif is accusing our proud officers at Pakistanâs intelligence services of orchestrating this heinous crime. Asma Jahangir says this is a âconspiracy against democracy.â Sherry Rehman, the information minister, makes a half-hearted and hypocritical statement, condemning what happened but at the same time making lame excuses and trying to justify what happened to Mr. Niazi.
What a funny thing this accusation is. So our intelligence officers, finding Mr. Niazi surrounded by lawyers screaming blood and ready to lynch the former Musharraf ally to death, immediately send their men to malign the good name of these black coated vultures. What a theory, Mr. Shehbaz Sharif.
Joining the band of apologists, Mr. Rehman Malik, the de facto interior minister, said intelligence officers would be prosecuted if found involved. Can politics get any lower than this? Mr. Rehman wonât condemn the lawyersâ and his party buddy Aitzaz Ahsan and his lawyers who actually were involved and instead chooses to make a statement on intelligence officers based on a hypothesis.
The funniest joke on this sad day came from none other than Mr. Ahsan himself. In the true colors of a seasoned cunning politician, Mr. Ahsan hurriedly called a press conference to accuse President Musharraf for what happened.
How is Musharraf responsible? Mr. Ahsan said that his client, the former chief justice Iftikhar Chaudhry, is not responsible for the political tension in the country, Mr. Musharraf is.
Not a single reporter dared to ask Mr. Ahsan this follow-up question: Is this the time to play politics and deflect the anger of the Pakistanis and try to divert it toward your political foes? Is not this the lowest form of cheap politics?
Mr. Ahsan tried to create confusion by referring to men in white dresses, which is a cheap way of implying that undercover police was involved. He tried to blame the police saying there wasnât enough of them on the scene. In short, Mr. Ahsan played every single dirty trick in their political book to absolve himself and his lawyer colleagues of responsibility.
But the most stunning move of the wily Mr. Ahsan was his resignation from the leadership of the lawyersâ movement. What a sharp political mind he has. For the past few days, I have been reporting that Mr. Ahsan has reneged on his word and is now willing to enter this newly elected parliament whose election he so feverishly campaigned to boycott. Now he discovers he canât stay out of politics for five years and make a simple living out of leading a bunch of crazy, unruly, and un-lawyerly lawyers. He has been planning to ditch the lawyersâ movement for several days now. Tonight, he seizes a perfect opportunity to jump the ship.
All Pakistanis should know that Mr. Aitezaz Ahsan and Mr. Iftikhar Chaudhry are directly responsible for making scores of hate speeches and encouraging the politics of hate, confrontation and disrespect for their countrymen who hold different opinions. They have wreaked havoc with the nationâs stability and made Pakistan a laughing stock in the world, showing us as a people incapable of rational, civilized behavior.
This incident, and the shameless, deliberate physical violence in the cheapest form against Sindhâs former chief minister, show that this existing lot of Pakistani politicians is incapable of leading Pakistan to democracy.
I have been one of a handful of Pakistani commentators who have been urging President Musharraf for the past five years not to prematurely restore democracy and focus instead on reforming the political system, improving the constitution, and cleanse the system through harsh accountability. Today, we are reaping the rewards of that premature decision in Fall 2002.
Pray for Pakistan.
TODAYâS COLUMN IN THE NEWS â THE FULL VERSION
Re: Aitzaz Ehsan resigns
^You're a joker of the highest degree. How about a link for starters so we all know what the article says as we see it, is really what is said. :)
Secondly lets weigh all the events that took place thus far:
March- SC Staff dismissed illegally and sent packing - No condemnation/investigation
May 12 massacre- No investigation
Supreme court issued orders to let NS enter and stay- He's humiliated before the entire world, shoved and pushed, and then deported from the airport- No investigation. No one held responsible
Countless number of people go missing under the disguise of terrorism- No investigation
November bombing - No accountability
Civilians, Human rights activists, Lawyers, Protestors Beaten, tortured, jailed- No investigation, no accountability
Hell, investigation is a long shot. These very ministers were too busy cooking up recipes for more chaos and power-handling to even accept responsibility because all this happened under their watch.
Yet, this guy gets slapped around and all of a sudden democracy is in danger? Are you kidding me!!!!! What him and Musharraf's hand-picked goons have been doing for the past 8+ years is much much worse. Countless number of lives have been lost. No one came forward to apologize, accept responsibility, and/or resign.
Arbab rahim gets smacked around and PPP orders an investigation promptly and condemns what happened.
S. Afghan gets slapped around and SC Bar President resigns over it, and another investigation is called for.
I say Aitzaz Ehsan is more democratic than Musharraf and Co. will ever be! They should learn from him. He was the first one who came on the scene and rescued Afghan. Where was the Governor of Punjab at the time? Who btw is still in-charge until Punjab assembly takes oath.
Atleast the likes of Aitzaz, M.A. Malik, and others are ashamed over what has happened. A quality Musharraf never can, never will possess.
So cry all you want, make all the noise. It doesn't change the facts that a few slaps are a bargain.
I do think it's extremely sad, and should not have happened. But lets not go overboard.
Blind followers of the dictators, his attitude, his policies are the kinda danger that faces pakistan.
Pray for Pakistan.
Re: Aitzaz Ehsan resigns
What should it be called Lusi? :)
You can call it manhandling or assult but not a "terrorist attack." A terrorist attack is what MQM did on May 12, terrorist attacks are suicide bombings but incidents like this are not terrorist attacks.
Re: Aitzaz Ehsan resigns
I told you guys, its Zardari-Mush collaboration since December 27. Everything is falling in its right place. You will see more clearer picture in three four months. This had to happen. Now people not only hate lawyers but will have no sympathy for restoration of judiciary.
Long live Pakistan and its agencies.
Re: Aitzaz Ehsan resigns
You can call it manhandling or assult but not a "terrorist attack." A terrorist attack is what MQM did on May 12, terrorist attacks are suicide bombings but incidents like this are not terrorist attacks.
Please bear in mind that there were three groups involved in May 12th massacre, namely, PPP, MQM, and ANP. All three groups were fully armed, and were involved in the shootings. The only thing that can be said with assurance is that the exchange of bullets was two-sided. Itâs unjust to place the blame on one group of people and exclude the others. To determine which group initiated the use of weapons, a proper investigation needs to be done, and criminals from all three parties should be dealt with accordingly.
Re: Aitzaz Ehsan resigns
^^ Ok if that please you then involve all three but still it won't make this incident a terrorist attack. I hope you got that and I hope that someone can tell this to MQM and its Quaid who insists on TV that it is a terrorist attack on Sher Afghan.

now here is the guy who sees the 'whole picture' clearly... its quite amazing how mush supporters try to twist and sensationalize everything at every given opportunity. how can anyone be so blind to see the truth..

Yes, he did. He has condemned this act of lawyers.
Re: Aitzaz Ehsan resigns
This is the blackest day in Pakistan judiciary's history.
hahaha really? When judiciary was murdered by the dictator you were cheering it on & when 2 of Mushrraf ex chamchas get slap around (not lynched) & you think thats the "blackest day" in Pakistani judiciary?
Re: Aitzaz Ehsan resigns
Dictator has prolonged his stay abroad amid growing fear of chitrol. Shaukat Aziz was clever enough to leave the country for good.

Spot on!
It is a fact that the ex-CJ has been attending rallies where hate speeches have been made by his leading supporters like Aitzaz Ahsan, Munir Malik, Ali Ahmed Kurd etc against every institution, even threatening parliament. The vicious attack on Dr Sher Afghan was the culmination of this tour of hate by Ch. Iftikhar and his colleagues, and I fear even worse acts of terror by these people. I have been saying for long now these people are a law unto themselves, and will listen to no one, not even the elected parliamentarians.
