Re: Parliament completing 5-year term - sign of healthy democracy - says CJ
politicians? admitting defeat? a blind could see where the case was headed. The govt. case was about as strong as a rotting tree. and if there was a deal...why mind admitting whatever? It was all pre-planned...remember?

it wasn't about the merits of the case. more to do with what musharaf will ALLOW the court to do and not. he could have and still could just squelch the whole thing with one order.

like he did with Pemra Ordinance?
I keep saying it, if martial law is the panacea for all that's wrong, why has Musharraf not imposed it already? Why must he drag the country through all this instability?
And again, why would musharraf ALLOW the courts to give a judgment that, in practical terms, becomes a major pain in his u know what?
Moreover, if the conspiracy started with the reference against CJ, please explain a similar judgment of the supreme court about Shehbaz Shareef in 2004?
Re: Parliament completing 5-year term - sign of healthy democracy - says CJ
o yaar I am asking a clarifying question,
so u tell me is CJ really being honest about his appreciation of the political situation and teh completion of term?
or
he is watching out for his own interests and its all self preservation that is motivating him to say untrue stuff.
which one is it?
POE:
self preservation? March 9. Do I need to say more?
It's his personal opinion. He can say whatever the hell he wants as long as that is not interfering with his work/affecting his judgments or interfering with someone else's work.
Plus, we must keep in mind WHERE he said these words. He was speaking to a delegation of young Pakistani's so maybe he did not want to rant about political idiosyncrasies we have going in front of these guys.
Re: Parliament completing 5-year term - sign of healthy democracy - says CJ
leading rallies rather than depending on the justice system, Do I need to say more?
No because he got back his seat through brute force even though the justice system delivered a verdict against him. So yeah U have a point.
does not matter WHERE he said this but WHAT he said, unless he changes his beliefs and views based on audience. If that is the case then we have a bigger issue at hand
if u r going to make it an issue, then please point out his prior views about the parliament that were diametrically opposed to what he has said now.
Thanks.
so dont post. I thought it was a rather interesting observation :)
nah...it's just a conspiracy for self preservation. For some reason I thought only Pakistani's inside the country were afflicted with this disease. Turns out this is a disease without boundaries.
Re: Parliament completing 5-year term - sign of healthy democracy - says CJ
He has completely lost it or thinks he is giving a motivational speech. The last 5 years of pakistan were a lot of things but democracy. Iftikhar should know better than blessing it
ahan... may be you are right, but fact remains that THIS LOOLI LANGRI democracy is still much better then that democratic decade in 90s. Didn't Musharaf made it EXTREMELY difficult for coming democratic regimes to suppress media? and of course judiciary. didn't he gave a common man awareness of whats going around the country? In our Society democracy can't be implemented over the night, at least he gave us a start towards it strengthening these two pillars.
lets be honest about it and put aside our prejudice against him. I am no fan of Musharaf or CJ, but look at the bigger picture here. when Musharaf goes, we will have an independent media, not afraid of bringing up the issues of common interests and THAT alone is a big achievement, since media plays a major role in check and balance of power.
Re: Parliament completing 5-year term - sign of healthy democracy - says CJ
you can run around all you want, but u still have not answered my basic question, which in itself gives me the answer. thank you :)
I have. That u can't find it or refuse to acknowledge it, isn't one of my headaches.
as far as diseases that afflict Pakistanis in and out of the country there are some other ones too, like dellusional support of failed politicians due to ethnic ties,
errrrr?
I chuckle as aI run into PML)9N) gen secretary in chicago who cant make one coherent sentence regarding his parties educational policy, or the MQM office on devon that has to hang its flag outside...but thats a whole diff story.
If self preservation at the cost of national *fasad *is a strategy, then sure Musharraf has one. As for PML-N or MQM not having a strategy, I don't give two hoots. It is still not reason enough for me to support dictatorship. Surely British devised/implemented heck of a lot better strategies 60 years ago than we do today. Should we be knocking some doors?
I just hope some day the military strong man in ur country comes up with a BETTER strategy for combating terrorism than ol' dubya (high possibility given the level of IQ we r dealing with here) and rigs ONE election to get in, then we'll talk. Until then we r only going round in circles.
