“But there has to be a proper way. **No action is being planned by the army. Even if we tried, it would be very unpopular and not just with the government and the opposition but most Pakistanis too.”

**“If the government is digging its own grave, we are not going to look for spades,” the source said.

“We want anyone involved, be they in government or elsewhere, to be punished. But it is not for us to do anything. If the army moves to do anything it would have national as well as international repercussions,” said another military source.

Hasent the time come to punish the army too for the mistakes it has committed especially during the past 10 years? The government needs to be punished, but army also needs to be a part of the punishment as they are part of the problem.

But they fear that some judges in the increasingly aggressive Supreme Court dislike Zardari and could move against him.

“I am not bothered about the army. I think they are acting very sensibly and would not derail the system at the moment,” a senior ruling party leader told Reuters.

“The worry probably would be what the Supreme Court does. They look in a mood to manipulate things.”

This image of judiciary would be dangerous for them, as they are being perceived as the judiciary which is upholding Punjab’s dominance over the rest of the country.
