Re: 'PML-N government will try Musharraf for treason'
Actually generals would not stop trial of President Musharraf under article 6, rather army would only demand that trial should not be selective but should be across the board and should include all who violated constitution in any way and are still alive … else, if article 6 is used selectively on President Musharraf only then it would be victimising army and not punishment of violating constitution, and in that case, army would have every right to victimise those victimising them with bullets (contrary to past when army did not used bullets).
Now think: Politicians, bureaucrats, judges, police, etc … all regularly violate constitution each of them almost every day (not once or twice). For instance:
Misusing power is violation of constitution
Taking bribe is violation of constitution
Taking commission is violation of constitution
Making or interpreting laws to benefit oneself, benefit a favoured party or favoured group is violation of constitution.
To victimising anyone (be they from general public or opponents) is violation of constitution.
Sacking a government servant without show-cause notice or valid reasons is also violation of constitution (What Nawaz did to Musharraf and has done same to many others … and Shahbaz is famous of this violation)
Well, one can present many occasions and reasons where politicians, bureaucrats, judges, police regularly violate constitution in Pakistan … and in the list of these violators we have Ganja Brothers, corrupt judge Iftikhar, most Pakistani politicians, bureaucrats, judges, police and many more.
So, if article 6 is applied than it would be nice to apply article 6 (high treason) on all who violated constitution in any way. Problem is that, people who could apply article 6 on any one are themselves guilty of article 6. Difference is that, some have right to apply article 6, some have right to punish people guilty of article 6, and some have guns.
I think if any politician, judge, their chaly chamchay, or anyone from anti-Musharraf lobby is thinking that army would allow selective justice, where one (Musharraf) get victimised by those who are themselves guilty of same crime, then they are living in paradise of fools, as once gone on this path, mentally retard bunch must get prepared themselves to face the music (music of article 6 or music of bullets and new harsher military rule). Another problem is that, this time military rule could be harsher as it might not come with general commanding the action, but it is possible that younger army officers would be commanding the action full of venom and revenge in their mind.
Note: There is no such thing as democratically elected person in power, as power always comes from barrel of gun, moral high ground or gift from those who have guns. Once an elected person does corruption, nepotism, misconduct, misuse of power, victimisation, or show selfish behaviours, than that person loses right to hold public office or rule the country … and it is right of those who have enough power (Like army) to kick such person out of public office without feeling guilty or ashamed. For instance, I have no respect or sympathy for corrupts (people I believe without doubt that they are corrupts), and thus if I was an army general, I would surely going to not just kick but shoot corrupts in public office or corridor of power … and I think NS is lucky that Musharraf was not someone like me.
