yazdi, 1) statements do no equal facts. Anyone can make a statement that does not make it true. Btw, give credit to Zardari/PPP govt that unlike NS, they haven’t launched witch hunts against their political opponents (remember what NS was doing literally bribing judges to put BB and Zardari in jail in 1990s?).
Let us get few things straight. Pakistani courts do not have jurisdiction in foreign countries, and Iftikhar Chaudhry is settling personal scores with Zardari b/c he did not restore him on the day he was elected president. This is the same justice who himself took oath under military dictator, allowed same dictator to amend the constitution as he pleased, and validated his military take over.
Also, Zardari and his govt have every right not to ask foreign country to prosecute them. It would be dumb and illogical if they do, and Chaudhry is trying to delegitimize duly elected government and in process of the destructing the entire system. He is a self-centered narcissistic one man wrecking crew who will do what he wants no matter what it costs the country.
As for the SC being right body, I think artilce 248 (2) is very clear, and that applies to president. If there are allegations of criminal wrong doing than the Parliament is right forum to impeach president and remove him form the office, not courts.
Also, what Ramday said is irrelevant b/c the law is very clear. Ramday’s words are not law, but article 248 (2) is.
