Re: Pakistan's top judge is suspended
What would you think if Musharraf, Aziz or BB, Nawaz before them summoned newspaper editors to their offices to warn them to lay clear of stories about their families? This is what the CJSC is alleged to have done. What would you think if the state machinery as a whole had to come out and defend Bilal Musharraf or Rukshana Aziz (the real Pakistani wife of the PM) or a Generals family? That is what this CJSC got the Supreme Court to do for his son. Pretty serious allegations that he has to answer, and disprove if not true.
This is a good question. I can guarantee you not one of them would answer it, or at least answer it honestly. They would express outrage and call for him to be thrown out of power and exiled or jailed. Yet in the case of the Chief Justice, they question the motives, simply because it's the president (who is constitutionally allowed to remove the chief justice) that is doing the cleaning up.
