Pakistan Politics: Pakistan Political Blog

It was friday and i was sitting infront of Tv and infact  whole nation was sitting infront of Tv to watch something good and historic ,when head of bench MRKhalil Ramday announced that decision will be announced after friday prayer whole nation said friday prayer ina hurry and come back again to their Tv sets.

The much awaited moments come when 13 member bench dismissed reference by historic 10-3 margin.There were jublations everywhere but the home very next to supreme court ,PM and Presient house ,infact they were mourning this decision.

But the joys of millions were scaterred to piieces when sinister acts by a military dictator ruined this country constitution and the law of land.That miliatry dictator has also now got the confidence of new government as well but people are agitating till the day of this military ictator departure.

Coalition partiesare going to meet in a joint session in Islambad on 23rd of this month.The political pundits are expecting some bigger decisions in this session.

Pml-n should tell the PPP that this is the last meeting between two parties and if judges are not restored and Musharraf is not  impeached then Pml-n will not be part of any such coalition government.

PPP has been pushing Pml-n right from day 1 from the decision of participating in the general elections  to join the federal government as well but one thinks why Pml-n leaders are so wary of their stand  and cant force any one pont on PPP.It is said that weakest part of a chain is most powerful  which can break the chain whenever it wants.Pml-n should rise to the occasion  and force PPP to give up its stubborn stance of restoring judges through a legal ammendment.

South Asia pacific law association yesterday met with deposed chief justice Iftikhar ch and has expressed strong grievance over the condition of courts and law in the country .They also met law minister Farooq naik who stubbornly said that judges restoration would be brought through a constitutional package which is totally ridiculous and absurd.

Nawaz sharif should stand now on firm feet and does everything not to save his power but save this country and redeem it from the evils of Musharraf and Zardari.

Most Pakistanis believe that  something must be done to get rid of Musharraf and his failed policies over last 8 years .It is time of action and not inaction and to keep alive rather than sleep for all time to come.

Dr.shahid meets Musharraf in karachi .although it was a coincident but PTV chairman should keep away from such notorious persons like Musharraf who has taken Pakistan to the door of a storm and one can see it coming with full force as our political crisis deepens day by day .

The Establishment Division letter read: “Dr Shahid Masood, chairman PTV, who also has the additional charge of managing director, has agreed to receive the same remuneration package which was given to former MD PTV Yousuf Baig Mirza (annexure-III).” The contract of Dr Shahid Masood will be for a period of five years which could be terminated by either side on a six-month notice.

The American pressure is increasing day by day for military attack as our coalition leaders continue to rest abroad and not willing to come home.PPP has decided in its recent meeting in Dubai that there will be an extension in federal cabinet.PPP is willing to bring back PML-N in federal cabinet but it does not seems possible at this time.

It is evident now that Zardari is not willing to restore judges ,his words are  just words like Murree declaration .As far as constitutional package is concerned ,it does not looks to  passed by Parliament.Coalition does not have two-third majority in both houses of Parliament  and thus  constitutional package is no mare than a joke and a time pass game.

The forth coming meeting of Nawaz Sharif with Asif Zardari  is going to be decisive  and political pundits are  predicting  some big  decision  to be taken in this meeting .It is dependent on PPP  whether it continues  with the same partner sitting outside the cabinet and supporting the government  or whether it enjoins Q league again in the cabinet ?.This is a million dollar question.

PPP government has sent shivers to all those  expectations which people had from them and  untimely departure of PPP chairperson  has made an ill  and uneducated person as its chairperson who lacks the ability to take decisions and act wisely.The man  whom Benazir Bhutto   never allowed to enter politics  in her whole life  but he has made himself the chairperson of a single largest party of a country .This is the misery of this nation that  we fell into the hands of  a landlord  who never gave  up his own priorities for the sake of his homeland.

Nawaz Sharif being the senior and experienced partner of  coalition  must act wisely  and must guide Zardari  but what one can do  if no one is willing to listen and remain totally drunk in power.

Ever since the Feb 18 elections there was constant opinion coming from Pakistani media commentators that any issue will not be solved quickly will bring confusion and tension among coalition would weaken the coalition and exactly this has happened that after 4 months no big issue has solved but in fact more issues are coming out and increasing u.s pressure is a constant threat for this government.

The biggest cause of the deadlock is one President Musharraf who continue to occupy position illegally and with the backing of Bush and reluctance of PPP chairman Zardari. If the coalition is going to stand the test of time PPP must take hard  action and first of all must oust Musharraf from power corridors.

On the birthday of Benazir Bhutto this year,her party Prime Minister  Yousuf Raza Gillani has announced that death sentence would be abolished  from this country.This announcement by PM has sent  a wave of joy  for all those waiting  for death sentence for years .They do not count themselves in living beings nor in dead.This is the misery of this nation that most of these waiting are innocent.

Human rights watch has also pressured the new government for abolishing  the death  penalty.It is a bitter fact  that America still maintains death penalty but there is also  complete justice whereas in our country  there are enormous complexities and class difference.Rich people exploit the poor for their evil interests.

Where this announcement of abolishing death penalty is welcomed by international groups and organizations,there is severe reaction in our religious and orthodox  segment  of society.They call it part of greater conspiracy against Islam and abolishing death penalty would mean a safe passage for the one denied to isalm’s fundamental basic of no more prophet.

Some people are saying that this is all done to give Musharraf a safe passage because there is strong belief that Musharraf will be tried after his removal from power.PPP government behavior is clear that Musharraf should be given a safe passage but PML-N has to decide which way this country is going to head because they represent the people of the biggest province of this country.
