Re: Live Updates of Azadi March
Exactly. Even during Nawaz League opportunist campaign to have Gilani resigned, I don’t think Aitzaz Ahsan came out to say: no no, how dare you, it is unconstitutional. Of course they all got together and got their law books out when Nawaz League started their Go Zardari Go campaign, because he at that time had proper presidential immunity according to the constitution. It was written in there. Aitzaz Ahson was very keen to make that absolutely clear.
But it is amazing how after 21 days, people are coming out and clearing these misconceptions, and having a debate on it. What we saw before was nothing but extremely lame and immature knee jerk reaction on this demand from some sections in the media who fooled the public into thinking like that. All these journalists were publishing long and tedious articles declaring the demand unconstitutional and blasphemous and what not. People were treating their words as Biblical revelations. This is one of the ills of having such a polarised media. Too much misinformational, pseudo analysis or ‘opinions’ that gets passed down as facts, and people genuinely cannot have a centrist opinion. Now these journalists who tirelessly and deceptively marred this demand unconstitutional can write an open letter to Aitazaz Ahsan and have a public debate with him.
