Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari has issued a long charge-sheet against the deposed superior court judges, saying they never came to his rescue and were responsible for his eight years in jail. We heard about political victimization but Zardari is giving birth to judicial victimization. Zardari wants to victimize the judiciary because they did not favor him is unjustified. It’s correct that the deposed judges did not release or pardon for him because they, the government and the people of Pakistan are very well aware of Zardari’s corruption during Benazir’s tenure. Some sources claim that Zardari doesn’t want these judges to come back because they nullified the National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO),the same order which has given him indemnity and has freed him from all his pending cases. But he fears that if these judges came back they would nullify the NRO once again and he might then have to face the courts again. The Nation is disappointed to hear ‘the charge-sheet’ issued by the PPP co-chairperson against the deposed judges. During the Central Executive Committee(CEC) meeting almost 60 per cent of the co-chairman’s speech was on Aitzaz Ahsan and the judges. Zardari is criticizing the deposed judges for not giving him parole when he required it to attend the funeral of his nephew few years back. This is wickedness of the first order from his side. The people voted against the Musharaf forces and for restoration of the judges, it’s now the duty of Zaradari and Nawaz Sharif to fulfill the promises. Moreover, Zardari does not have the right to play with the mandate people have given to reformist forces. It’s important to note that his late wife never included him in CEC of the party, reasons are plentiful. Firstly, she knew that he’s regularly involved in kickbacks. Secondly, if Benazir was alive she would have not joined hands with MQM because they collapsed her first government, caused the May 12th incident in Karachi when several people lost lives because of the ‘wild-fire’ from MQM workers, were behind the Oct 18 blast, killed party loyalists Murad Baloch and Munawar Suhrawardy. Horrifically, Zardari went to the Nine Zero – the headquarters of MQM- to express solidarity with the MQM against the wishes of the nation. In the name of re-conciliation and unity government, he has brought humiliation to the people of Sindh who voted for Bhutto, Idealogies of PPP and against Musharaf’s atrocities and not for his personal agenda. People like Zardari and Chaudary Shujaat Hussain should learn from the past because Pakistan People’s Party, Bhutto Family, Pakistan Muslim League has lost lives and dear ones due to a weak judiciary. Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto’s death was a judicial murder because once cannot be sentenced to death for conspiracy. Additionally, Shujaat Hussain’s father was shot viciously because he did not approve the policies of the Late Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto. Although Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto got hanged, they did not get true justice and protection because of weak judiciary, puny police and off the limits strong Army. Its advisable for Zaradari not to dance on the tunes of Musharaf and support the restoration of the judges because he would then would have built a castle in the air, where his work would not be lost. All we as a nation would need to do later is to make the foundation stronger.

If you start the blame game it goes all over.
Iftikhar Chaudhry and Nawaz Sharif are bent upon vindictiveness, Their whole politics is based on revenge against Musharraf who until firing of Chaudhry was an extremely popular President.
Chaudhry is too politicized for becoming a part of Judiciary.
2 Anti Abdul Basit // Apr 6, 2008 at 4:52 am
Abdul Basit sahib, first of all you cannot order Mr . Zardari to do anything since he wasn’t elected by anybody to anywhere…Yusuf Raza Gillani apprantely is the Prime Minister in your pathetic country, so maybe you want to “demand” something from him. As far as the Judges are concerned, like almost 90% of Pakistan, they are brain drained idiots who are running around the streets deamanding something that they are entitled to….Iftikhar Chaudhry and his posse only want one thing, to insult Musharaf, that’s it, that’s their aim and they have tried to push any way possible..Restoring the judges will not solve the problems of this poor, uneducated, wretched country where idiots like you are hell bent on creating anarchy and chaos…

Forgot to mention about your tirade against MQM…Listen buddy, MQM might have thugs, just like the PPP jiyalas, or PML ‘karkuns’, but they keep getting elected from Karachi…so unless you are bigoted/racist/biased, i don’t see a reason for you to blast MQM.. They are there to protect the rights of the people of the city they represent but bigots like you don’t appreciate that since you think that Pakistan should be run out of one part of the country, as oppose to a true representative democracy..(”Zardari visited Nine-Zero against the wishes of the whole nation” ???????)What nation are you talking about? The people of Karachi appreciated his visit. Bigots like you and Nawaz Sharif (who openly referred to people of Karachi as Urdu Speaking; should i call NS Punjabi speaking, should i call Gillani Siriaki speaking, should i call Zardari sindhi speaking) do not want this to happen, since you cannot get through your thick mind the fact that this country can only be run with concensus as opposed to NS’s idilogical bull sh*t and your thoughts as mentioned above..

The old judges may have made errors, NOW they are out to FIX their mistakes. We should allow them an oppertunity.
Zaradari & others are also given a chance to prove their worth.
Otherwise act of GOD is always the final judgement.

If Chaudhary Iftikhar is not reinstated then pakistan judiciary will never get free and independent… b/w most of the dire issues we are facing in pakistan are linked with judiciar… e.g the flour crises i remb chaudhary iftikhar after reinstatement broke locks of many flour storage places which were kept to rise the prices.. He is the only person who is courageous enough not to obey musharaf… what do u expect him and the lawyers to do…. just sit and watch the dictators play their game… if u ask pakistan people 80% will be in favour of Chief justice reinstatement…even PPP voters themselves… and 19% not sure and 1% against….
come on guys… you need to support Chief justice … if he does not come back..our judiciary instituted is finished…

M@ni,
I really do not understand that inorder to have a free judiciary, you need Chaudhry Iftikhar’s reinstatement.
What is the difference between the him and current Chief Justice. Both are PCO judges. But Chaudhry happens to be a anti-Musharraf and highly polticized judge.
7 M@ni // Apr 7, 2008 at 12:14 am
Well we met one deposed high court justice and discussed the mattered of PCO with him, coz the same question also arised amongst us. Hope the following clarifies:
He said: the new PCO [3rd March] puts all kind of barriers on judiciary to take any action against the government WILL, while the last PCO was not like this.
The new PCO was just like you are becoming a slave of Musharaf regime, therefore 60 judges dint take oath.
I agree they should not have taken the first PCO, and Justice Wajihuddin and Siddique are true heroes but not to forget both the PCO’s were different in terms of liberty of judiciary

The MQM is certainly a racist party as the entire nation of Quaide Azam’s Pakistan was unanimous on this point. Just see the MQM was least affected by the general trend of voting in the recent elections. Why? Because they are not part of the nation but a racist group with their racist agenda to support Mush and oppose the reinstatement of Ch. Iftikhar against the wishes of the entire nation. It is perhaps why Zardari went to Zero Nine, to pay homage to the ‘Kaabah’ of MQM insulting the mandate of the people just for his personal agenda.
9 Anti Abdul Basit // Apr 7, 2008 at 7:25 am
MQM is not a racist party but part and parcel of Pakistan. It was created to serve the interest of the people of Karachi and obviously Pakistan by extension. If you want Pakistan to prosper, you would want to make sure that Karachi prospers as 60-65% of Pakistan’s revenue comes from Karachi (not generated, just comes from Karachi because it’s a port city, so if you grow exports somewhere in the country, you have to export it thru Karachi….banks..stock market…so on and so forth)…The point here is that with MQM, which is obviously the majority party of Karachi, in the coalition, the governance of Sind by large will be smooth. If not, then you will be back to the situation in the mid-1990’s with army operations, police actions, and all the things that people of this country would not want to see repeated. Hence, Zaradari’s visit to nine-zero was beneficial for governance in Karachi, Sind, and above all Pakistan. Nobody from MQM has ever said anything specific to Ch. Iftikhar..They have always said they support independent judiciary….Don’t forget Ch. Iftikhar was a Mush tatoo (a PCO judge) for a long time before they had a falling out…So if Ch. Iftikhar is now somehow cleansed from his past support of Mush, then you should gave the same benefit of your generosity towards Ch. Iftikhar to MQM, no matter who they support…

I wonder why we forget that the restoration of judges ‘disabled’ by Mush to perform their duties is not the question of infringement of the rights of certain judges but of treason against the will of the people as enshrined in Art. 6 of the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. If we overlook this there shall be no judiciary, no constitution and, God forbid, no Pakistan.

MQM is rascist. they horse racing and cycle racing. they are so racist that they also involve in dog racing. this easy sport for them for they are all dogs let loose on sindhi manu,s.

Karachi corporation dog killer not doing job. this has been many problem for the karachi. they bark and bite and pee and make shit all time and all the place. very bad. very bad.
19 Abdul Basit Khawaja // May 23, 2008 at 2:53 pm
I did not write about Anti- Abdul Basit because he writes without facts and figures. And the replies he got from other people was enough and i did not had to reply.
Thanks for the support people.
Sometimes, people take my view wrong. I am not a supporter of Nawaz Sharif. I support issues and not personalities when I write, but at times you have to make the people aware of the truth.
