Re: Pakistan’s top judge is suspended (Merged)
u’re taking too simplistic a view. If CJ Iftikhar is to be tried for his breaches, then all high offices should be judged against the same standard. The govt. can’t pick and choose to apply morality. One is constrained to question govt’s intentions when it turns a blind eye towards judges with more serious allegations against them..when quite innocently one of these very allegedly corrupt judges goes on to declare that every action taken by the govt. since March 09 is in line with the constitution while a petition challenging those very actions lies before that VERY judge. Sounds rather interesting to me.
Then again, what can be expected of a govt. that busts open lawyers’ heads and has the CJ grabbed by the hair yet run for cover citing possible danger to human life when confronted by Islamic vigilantes wishing to weed out corrupt elements from the society. Maybe a better course of action for the govt. would be to declare that it was blackmailed into sending the reference by these self claimed defenders of all that is good. I think everyone would understand the govt’s point of view then and no one would protest. Easy peasy. Look at the meager amount of concern abt the drama at Aabpara. I say its a genuine exit strategy
