I actually do feel bad for our PM. He is a good man. Honorable. Corrupt has hell but to an extent he is honorable. He has done a good job keeping a balance between the Military, the complete ****ing idiot that is our President and the Courts. He is basically being sent to the chopping block by Zardari to protect his own skin. So much for leadership quality.

However on a legal basis the PM and its team is right. No sitting President can be accused of a crime. He has immunity. The courts in this case are over stepping their bounds.

Let’s be honest - Gilani is nothing but a proxy for Zardari. Gilani will be replaced by someone who will behave exactly the same because they will also be a Zardari proxy.

I disagree with you on the legality of the situation. While there is no doubt that no sitting President can be accused of a crime in Pakistan. the Supreme Court is not asking for this. Instead they want the accusation to be made in a foreign country where the law does not exclude foreign Presidents from being accused.

Of course, this is a disgusting slope… in what country does a court place foreign law above domestic law? Is the Supreme Court ruling that Pakistan’s legal system is not good enough?
