Please lets see your amazing facts and figures again Saleem Bhai :) Just keep it a little short and then I'll post up how much money was spent from 1999-present. Also, since your beloved dictator was the one who let go of those cases, the money spent from 97-99 to pursue the case went to waste because of HIM! Im not against paying lawyers, but this topi drama Musharraf did, the NRO etc, thats whats pisses me off, sara paisa gya paani mey, including what Zardari took off with.
Most work was done by Nawaz and his goons. Musharraf was pursuing cases on evidences collected by Nawaz and his goons. Unfortunately, when Nawaz signed Messaq-e-Jamhuriayat ... he decaled that all cases were victimisation (in other words, he and his team were liars). Once, those who started the cases declared the cases bogus, there was very little government could have done. Since there were no concrete evidences, no one can blame anyone if cases died its life after 10 years of prosecution.
Anyhow, what surprises me is that when talking about NRO, we only talk about Zardari, but we forget how much Nawaz got away with. The differences between what Zardari stole of Pakistan is no different than what Nawaz stole. As far as I am concerned, all who looted, plundered, lied in politics, misguided masses, promised to masses without intention of delivering, did nepotism, abused government posts, and took rushwat in their life (as government servant), all go to hell InshaAllah (that is my sincere dua from Allah).
