Re: Justice Bhagwadas takes a stand..
maybe international community was not too impressed with the type of democracy Pakistan experienced in the 90's and would rather not reinstate that mess. He seems to have forgotten what Nawaz did with Sajjad Ali shah.
or is bagwan das talking about the pre-emergency era, is he calling that a democracy?
You people need to get over the 90's... We are far better of with a dysfunctional democracy then a functional dictatorship..
India, despite its high level of corruption and often misuse of power, still managed to remain united, and relatively prosperous for 60 years.. Now they have a booming economy and confidence that resonates around the world... It should be clear that democracy workd in the long run... Dictatorships only function for a brief period of time before the implode, and whatever little success they had goes with them...
An independant judiciary, prior to the emergency, no matter how it functioned, was still preferable because it was democratic. The Judges themselves are irrelevant, its the independance of the institution of the judiciary that is important and somthing that short sighted people like Musharaf and his supporters like e33or are incapable of understanding...
