by going after everybody? surely you meant going only after politicians, right? Nawaz Sharif is also a politician - not a general - if I remember correctly. politicians are easy targets. the soft targets. you do a little drama in a court ranting about corruption, ask them about how many surahs there are and the multiplication table, etc. and all the Musharraf facebook fanboys, Zaid Hamid groupies and Shahid Mossad fairies collectively orgasm as they do on this forum. how many generals and bureaucrats has the SC gone after? has the SC gone after Malik Qayyum, Shareefuddin Pirzada?
what do convictions mean in this country anyway? has Musharraf been convicted of anything? how many generals have been convicted of Bugti's murder? has Musharraf been charged with the murder of Syed Hammad Raza? has Musharraf been charged with the murder of the victim of May 12th? does that mean Musharraf wasn't behind all these crimes and is an innocent little lamb?
and it is not jaahil to think critically with a fresh perspective about things you were taught since you were a kid. but it is absolutely jaahil AND infantile to always repeat the same old childish rants about convicted criminal, infinite corruption, etc. try thinking with a clear mind for once. take a step back and think critically about the stories you've heard about Zardari. things like he tied a bomb to a man's leg and told him to take money out of his bank account and give it to him. I mean for ffs who writes this kind of bollywood style bakwaas?
and even though for you everything is a pissing contest, I'm going to say this once for the record. I am not a jiyala. I support all parties. I have respect for PPP, ANP and PML-N. but yes I do find PPP's ideology the easiest to stomach. at the same time, on this forum itself I have argued with PPP supporters about the need to restore the judiciary and not play games with it. this is the last time I'm going to say it. I don't feel the need to defend myself against accusations of being a jiyala but there it is for the record.
anyway, back to the SC. like I said, go read/watch the views of all leading lawyers - who were leaders of the movement for the restoration of the judiciary. they're all criticizing the SC's behavior. the SC is stepping out of its bounds. Musharraf was not prosecuted because of his immunity according to SC supporters. why is the same immunity not extended to Zardari? the SC judges are rude and unprofessional. Khalil Ramday - who seems like he is a jackass - said to Rasheed Rizvi (a man who was the leader of the Karachi lawyers in the movement) why he was defending a man like Ahmed Riaz Sheikh? like WTF!!!! how can judge say something like that? I thought the accused was innocent until proven guilty. has Ramday not already condemned the accused as being guilty without even allowing him to plead his case? is that not bias? is Ramday even fit to hear the case? seems pretty biased to me.
and the same Ramday was asking Dasti to recite the multiplication table, how many surahs etc. honestly WTF again!!! Dasti was obviously an idiot. and he deserved to be thrown out. completely agreed. but why did he humiliate the man like that? I know if someone talked to me like that in real life, I would walk away from the jackass instead of listening to bakwaas like that.
and need I remind you that this Ramday was the same man who was appointed as an adhoc judge after retiring. this is yet another inconsistent, unprofessional step by the SC. instead of bringing in new blood and making fresh appointment, Iftikhar Chauhdry reapppointed Ramday. what is the obsession with this one man? will the SC fall apart after Ramday? are there no honest men left in Pakistan that can be appointed to the SC? just shows that SC talks a good game but doesn't walk it in its own affairs. instead of doing the principled thing, it has been making decisions on personal likes and dislikes.
even though it is much more fun to bleat non-stop about corruption, etc, please try to understand that this is about much more than one case. this is about the SC losing its focus and behaving in a manner not worthy of its stature. don't believe me. listen to Kurd, Tariq Mehmood, Asma Jehangir - all leading lights of the lawyers movement who argued for and sacrificed for the restoration of the same SC they criticize today.
when Fauzia Wahab used to rip apart Iftikhar Chauhdry, Ramday as being more interested in self-survival and their own naukri, it used to boil my blood. but I'm sad to say that she was right after all. the whole movement was a hoax. it was led by great men like Aitzaz Ahsan, Tariq Mehmood, Kurd, etc for a just cause and for the right reasons. but they were betrayed. and the averages joes like me who believed them were also betrayed.
You stated they were going after Zardari only. I showed you otherwise. Now you change the narrative again. Look ranting and raving doesn't help your case when the justice system is finally working in the case of these corrupt *******s.
Zardari is a convicted criminal. No matter what you say that is the truth.
