Today Nawaz Sharif started his election campaign from Qasur. In his first speech he said the person who expelled him from Pakistan today he is in jail. Obviously, he was talking about Pervez Musharraf.
Then he said the person who accused and charged him with terrorism today he is accused and charged with terrorism. Let us analyze these two statements.
Nawaz Sharif was expelled or he made an agreement with Government of Pakistan (represented by the President of Pakistan) through King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia to go in exile.
Why Nawaz Sharif lies?
Because he knows he can get by with it in the court of law and or election tribunal court.
How he got by these lies? That is question you should ask yourself. What magic he has?
When Nawaz Sharif submitted his nomination papers, one of his opponents raised an objection that Nawaz Sharif lied when he said he has no agreement with Government of Pakistan when he left Pakistan for Saudi Arabia so he does not qualify under Article 62 and 63 for elections. But the Returning Officer did not accept that objection and cleared Nawaz Sharif as an honest person.
Everybody knows about that agreement. Once Interior Minister of Saudi Arabia came and showed the copy of that agreement in a press conference in Pakistan In other words Nawaz Sharif did not lie.
What is the definition of lies in the eyes of a Court of Law, Returning Officer and Election Tribunal? You make your own judgment.
This reflect the administrative inability of Chief Election Commissioner Fakharudddin G. Ibrahim who is normally considered an honest person. But there is a hell lot of difference between honesty and capability. Our political parties agreed on Fakharuddin G. Ibrahim's name as Chief Election Commissioner because they knew he is weak (which give them benefit) but since he is considered honest so people will accept his name.
