Re: Prime Minister Appears Before Supreme Court


How is NRO related to BB being alive or dead?

Re: Prime Minister Appears Before Supreme Court

Do you really think whatever illogical statement you would make people would believe (or have to believe) you? You did not even gave me answer to what I asked. Don't you know that NRO is struck off by SC, and no case in Pakistan is left withdrawn because of NRO. Any case that were withdrawn are now active again. So, how can you say that MQM benefited from NRO?

Just think: NRO was ordinance that needed parliamentary endorsement to become binding law. Without parliamentary endorsement it had no value and it also means no one benefiting from NRO (in long term). To get NRO endorsed from NA, government needed 172 NA votes. PPP coalition votes in favour of NRO were:

PPP = 127
ANP = 13
JUI = 8
BNP and NPP = 2
Total ~ 150 votes

PPP also had support of many independents:
Ind members in NA = 17

Total possible votes without MQM votes = 150 + 17 (maximum) = 167 (Max possible), still 5 short of 172.

MQM = 25 votes

It means PPP was not in position to get NRO endorsed from parliament without MQM votes.

Since NA did not endorsed NRO, if anyone benefitted from NRO then those benefits are over, as due to SC direction, all NRO cases are active again. Thus cases in Pakistani courts are all getting sorted out without benefitting from NRO.

So, my question is that: If MQM was biggest beneficiary of NRO then why MQM did not endorsed NRO in parliament and availed those benefits?

Since MQM opposed NRO in NA, it means MQM had no interest or care for NRO neither worried about benefits they might have got from NRO ... or possibly MQM thought of country more than personal or party benefits. It also means NRO was nothing to do with MQM. That assumption would stand valid unless you give more logical reasons why MQM did not endorse NRO when MQM was suppose to benefit most.

Plus, if MQM was main beneficiary of NRO then why other parties in coalition were willing to endorse NRO in NA and MQM was only party in government coalition who were opposing the endorsement?

mqm knows that CJ will not touch them for being B-team of establishment. He never touched them in past when they were involved in target killings few months ago. He will not touch them in future either. So why mqm worry about NRO?

Re: Prime Minister Appears Before Supreme Court

^ The CJ wont remain forever, I guess he will be retiring next year. NRO is a black law which has facilitated some people, either the government should have brought something like truth and reconciliation and forgiven all or no one at all. What kind of NRO is that they have forgiven the sins of some people, who are again looting the country? Suppose their black deeds were forgiven they should have avoided the things which brought about the law in the first place, but they are doing corruption which is unprecedented in our history. NRO has proven itself to be a law to have the previous sins forgiven only to give license for more (corruption) in the future.

The corruption and PPP are synonymous (second nature) to each other, some of my very close family members are very influential people from Jhang who had family members in the government (they were relatives of Faisal Saleh Hayat and Abida Hussain etc) used to tell my parents during the second tenure of the great BB that they are looting the country with both hands as they dont know when the government will fall.
