Re: Justice Bhagwadas takes a stand..
Rebel, im not supporting Nawaz or Benazir... But a democratic sytem that is truly democratic, even with these two at the helm is preferable over this dictatorship...
truly democratic are the key words. and that is why I get ticked off when ppl talk about returning to democracy.
A democracy with a real balance of power would inevitably make it so that the corruption these to dabbled in during their previous stints would be checks by the other democratic instituttions. Thats a big difference from the 90's when we had the exective competing with the military for power.
agree 100%
A dysfuntional democracy is preferable over a functional dictatorship... Plaine and simple...
but a democracy, I agree. and what we had was not a dysfunctional democracy it was civilian dictatorship with military pulling some or many strings.
Im not even a supporter of of the Chief Justice per say.. I do support him to the extent that he represents a truly democratic instituition that can provide the first genuine hope for real democracy in Pakistan..
and that is where I have a little issue. I am all for clean and independent judiciary, but how can this guy be trusted, didnt he take oath on PCO earlier? he had already shown his lack of better judgement there, he could have taken a principled stand like the judges who did not take oath on PCO.
so a clean, independent and strong judiciary is critical,k one that operates in a responsible manner.
No matter the feelings for Nawaz and BB, all politics aside, the indipendance of the judiciary and media should be top priority in Pakistan.. And we should support, atleast for now, who ever is in support of these institutions and willing to confront Musharaf who is the main hurdle in the way.
Thats where I differ, these politicians are playing on popular sentiments for their own greed for power. I can not support them. they use and spit out ppl, for example of that look at APDM. Imran seems to be the only one still sticking by it among major figures, rest seem to have backtracked. what did he get for throwing his weight behind these crooks? nothing.
while I am all for real democracy, free media, independent judiciary. I refuse to support any of these crooks.
