Lawyers did not fight for present judiciary: Aitzaz

Senior lawyer Aitzaz Ahsan claimed on Saturday that the present judiciary was not the judiciary the lawyers had fought for. “If the judiciary cannot give a verdict against an outgoing general who is at the exit, how will it dare give a verdict against some incoming general in the future,” asked Aitzaz. Aitzaz said that the 17th Amendment was, of course, an ultra vires of the Constitution but the SC’s Friday verdict had opened the doors for future intervention of generals in politics. “Today was the first show of dictatorship after being certified by the apex court,” he said.

Lawyers fought for judiciary that agreed with them 100% of the time I guess?

Re: Lawyers did not fight for present judiciary: Aitzaz

Lawyers have nothing to gain if Musharraf leaves or stays. They are not political party or Lotas that will get portfolios or lucarative contracts.

They are the only group in political scene at present that are selfless.

Re: Lawyers did not fight for present judiciary: Aitzaz

ouch !

Re: Lawyers did not fight for present judiciary: Aitzaz

You sure you're talking about Pakistanis?

Re: Lawyers did not fight for present judiciary: Aitzaz

aitzaz ahsan will tell you with a straight face that zardari is not corrupt. so i would be suspicious of any person supported by aizaz ahsan. and cj by not sitting on the bench in the musharraf case proves my theory.

Re: Lawyers did not fight for present judiciary: Aitzaz

by the same token, u shouldn’t trust a word Mush says..no? After all, he is in bed with people who have more likely siphoned off more money than all the zardari’s combined. :faizy:

Re: Lawyers did not fight for present judiciary: Aitzaz

You have proof of that, little me? :smiley:

As for the lawyers, they are divided up in their punjabi, pathan alqaeda camps just as the rest of pakistan is divided. Where were these “lawyers” when gunja stormed the supreme court? No punjabi has ever answered me [here or else] how did that happen? I had already seen punjabi hate of musharraf back in 2003-4 when common punjabis would be sad that musharraf didn’t get killed in the explosion. This is to say that musharraf has done a lot for punjab be it the kalabagh / bhasha dams or canals or the army [majority comes from punjab so it can counted as a ‘favor’ as well].

The main problem is that none of these “sons of the soil” ever did anything for the pakistan movement so they nothing about any sort of sacrifices or selfless acts. Bengalis, who fought for pakistan with their blood, left first and I am sure many would be happy if people of karachi disappeared as well.

Re: Lawyers did not fight for present judiciary: Aitzaz

haww hai..yeh dekho. proof mangta hai. Pehlay zardari ki corruption prove karo, phir baat karna.

And if u can't wait for that, after all our sweet heart govt. has been trying hard without luck for 8 years now, then search for "Transparently Corrupt" in this forum. U might find something worth reading.

Re: Lawyers did not fight for present judiciary: Aitzaz

So now you are a PPP supporter? :omg:

Re: Lawyers did not fight for present judiciary: Aitzaz

A man who has made a respectable name in Pakistan knows more about politics, the law etc than posters on GS.

So when he says "Lawyers did not fight for present judiciary", he carries more strenght and value then everybody else here combined.

Simply put. His words matter. Yours don't.

Re: Lawyers did not fight for present judiciary: Aitzaz

yeah man. I can’t believe it myself. :omg:

Re: Lawyers did not fight for present judiciary: Aitzaz

i love it when people ask for proof for zardari’s corruption given the material available on the net from respectable sources such as u.s. congress. otoh, some people might not know how to use google:

(scroll down for full report)

http://hsgac.senate.gov/110999_report.htm

...During the period 1994 to1997, Citibank opened and maintained three private bank accounts in Switzerland and a consumer account in Dubai for three corporations under Mr. Zardari`s control. There are allegations that some of these accounts were used to disguise $10 million in kickbacks for a gold importing contract to Pakistan....Two deposits, totaling $10 million were made into the account almost immediately after it was opened. Citibank records show that one $5 million deposit was made on October 5,1994, and another was made on October 6, 1994...The staff invited Ms. Bhutto to provide additional information on the M.S. Capricorn Trading accounts, but she has not yet done so. ...On February 25, 1995, a third deposit of $8 million was made into the Dubai M.S. Capricorn Trading account. Records show that the payment was made through American Express, with the originator of the account listed as Morgan NYC.`` Citibank indicated it does not know who Morgan NYC is, nor does it know the source of the $8 million.

Re: Lawyers did not fight for present judiciary: Aitzaz

Respectable name by supporting BB? Ok....

Re: Lawyers did not fight for present judiciary: Aitzaz

pai that means this government is so incompetent that it can’t even prove something in a court that the whole world can see. wah bhai wah.

Re: Lawyers did not fight for present judiciary: Aitzaz

u do realize this line of argument is eventually going to boomer rang on ur own political stand?

Re: Lawyers did not fight for present judiciary: Aitzaz

How so? I am against the BB-Mush deal.

Re: Lawyers did not fight for present judiciary: Aitzaz

Ditto. But then again i hate the entire Bhutto family.

Re: Lawyers did not fight for present judiciary: Aitzaz

I believe Aitzaz Ahsan appointed a convicted murderer as a judge during his time as PPP govt Interiror Minister, so defending Mr 10% Zardari is not a surprise at all.
