Re: The Chief Justice and the well overdue emergency
There is nothing wrong demanding democracy, and you are complaining of "lotas" as if Musharraf's cabinet is missing any lota and not negotiating deals with criminals???
Most excuses don't make sense except the last one, if villagers don't want to be replaced then they shouldn't have to, but the case would be strong if villagers are agreeing to be replaced.
Now, are all these cases decided in "Supreme Court"? or High Courts? Which court is that? And there must be someone who filed a case against it, correct?
Agree but then you just gave examples of US and UK for other cases, does it not happen in US where govt stops/blocks construction of high-rises closer to govt buildings/installations close by?
well yes they dnt make sense cos they were never ment to and the courts just wanted to do one thing, halt the economic boom.
also being replaced for a project is a normal thing around the world, people were replaced for the mangla dam and those people were not even given compensation and left homeless, where were the courts then?
in UK we had a resturant and gov. took it away from us cos a developer wanted to take the whole area down to make a shopping mall, we could do nothing.
its not about villagers losing their homes, you think about pakistan and its economic succes it will gain from these projects, its about time we all follow musharraf and use the ideology 'PAKISTAN COMES FIRST', its what all developing countrys are using to boost there economy, its happening everywhere even in the developed world.
it happens 10 times a day in china.
people take there compensation and walk away, the courts need to start thinking of pakistan first.
as for gov, halting buildings near their buildings, then no, it happens everywhere.
mall road is the heart of lahore, the busines hub of lahore, if the city wants to develop a big business hub then this is the area where high rise buildings would be made, otherwise you can forget lahore being a busines center.
