Re: Lahore Metro Train : Orange Line
Its not me but the Stay order that mentions 11 sites including Shalamar Bagh and Choburji. I don’t think there is any need for veiled attacks like your last sentence. baat nikle gi to phir door talak jae gi. Neither I’m a supporter of PPP nor I have an agenda to malign PMLN. My observation and concerns are based on the news reported in media.
The first post where I mentioned High Court Stay does mention my knowledge about attachment of Lahoris with their heritage. I don’t know wherefrom you get a vibe that I’m critiicsing people of Lahore. Last time I checked, Lahore is not equal to PMLN Government, as other parties got good number of votes and I don’t think each PMLN supporter will support demolition of heritage sites just for development and that too for sake of political scoring. May be you are also affected from soething like ‘Urdu speaking= MQM syndrome’ and hence come up with my comments against PMLN Government’s lack of planing (as per High Court stay) as equal to criticizing Lahoris.
I’m not a lawyer, but I do deal with them on regular basis and I do know that stay against a matter is granted after considering merits of the main petition. So I would wait for final verdict to see how the concerns of people are being dealt.
I don’t know much about Karachi, but in Lahore due to sensitivity of the situation, stay is given even if a single party have approached the court and have been able to prove that if stay not given the whole case may die or irreconcilable damage may be done and injustice would be on court…
