Muslim is killing Muslim on the name of Islam in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. Fakharuddin G. Ibrahim said in a interview the other on PTV network. I think it is something Pakistani nation needs to pay attention.
Dual Nationality Case – Eleven Members of Parliament and Senate Disqualified
Supreme Court of Pakistan gave a historic decision yesterday on dual nationality case and disqualified eleven members of Parliament and Senate including Rahman Malik. This decision is much appreciated by all walks of life in Pakistan except Peoples Party. There is nothing special about that. They will criticize the judges and their decision on one hand then on the other hand they will say we always respect the apex court and its decisions.
Samsaam Bukhari, a state minister in the PPP government said they (meaning PPP is not satisfied with this decision). Funny thing is that having or keeping dual nationality is prohibited in the Constitution of Pakistan. But nobody challenged it in the court of law. Now PPP and PMLN both blame apex court that court did not object to Moin Qureshi’s status when he was a caretaker prime minister. If the Supreme Court did not take action at that time then why these politicians who are objecting now took the case to the Court. This is criticism for the sake of criticism.
Fuad Chaudary who changed his loyalty some time back from APML (All Pakistan Muslim League headed by Pervez Musharraf) to Peoples Party said on this decision that why the Supreme Court did not take action on PLMN’s members of parliament or senate who have dual nationality. First, I don’t know all the disqualified members belong to PPP, if there are PMLN’s members who have dual nationality and Fuad Chaudary knows about them then why he is not going to go to court or at least announce their names so people can see his truthfulness.
Supreme Court has instructed Election Commission of Pakistan to ask all the members of Parliament and Senate to provide declaration about their nationality. That should resolve the issue.
I think now the most important thing is how long it will take to implement Supreme Court’s decision.
Let us hope for good!
New Law on Contempt of Court
Primarily the purpose of this new law is to save and protect Raja Pervez Ashraf by trying to divert the attention of Supreme Court or indulge it to other issues which will end up delaying the case of Raja Pervez Asharf. In the end, buying time till election.
Obviously, PPP don’t want to write the letter and these are all their delaying tactics. This is how our politicians’ character is. So if the country is going down the hill it should not surprise you. Basically, according to this new law, what we are saying is that if the government read prime minister and his cronies don’t write the letter to Swiss authorities then it will not be a contempt of court. If Supreme Court still take any action then it will take months may be years before some decision comes out. This is PPP’s tactics to buy the time till the elections.
In other words this new law is promulgated to benefit people and not the country. Do you consider such politicians as honest or loyal to the country?
This is shameful that ANP, PML-Q and MQM supported this new law. At least ANP and MQM were considered parties who follow have some principles. But unfortunately each party is looking forward for their own benefit in the coming election and not of the country.
One political commentator on PTV channel suggested to Supreme Court that they should ask their registrar to write the letter to Swiss authorities and not insist on prime minister to write that letter. Do you think a commentator on PTV channel will say anything else?
Another commentator who claims he has inside information and his chirya (bird)brings the information to him which he broadcast to the nation on a TV channel suggested that Supreme Court should not insists on this issue and let the time pass till elections. I have summed up his comments. He claims the Supreme Court is going out of his limits. Both of these commentators do not see anything wrong with behavior of prime minister(s) or PPP government rather they blame Supreme Court. If prime minister and his cronies don’t obey courts they will be protected if an ordinary person on the street don’t obey he will be criminal.
Democracy Zindabad. This democracy is Pakistani style.
Malik Riyaz in The Supreme Court
A week ago Malik Riyaz stated in the Supreme Court that he met with Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudary at his request during the time when Chief Justice was inactivated from his post and a movement was going on to re-instate him.
Malik Riyaz further stated that he helped the movement whatever way he could. I read his statement as, he invested money to help them to achieve the movement’s objectives with the belief he would get some benefit later. If this is true then Chief Justice along with Aitazaz Ahsan and Ali Ahmed Kurd should be asked what Malik Riyaz’s contribution to the movement was?
Another person who really got the benefit of the return of Chief Justices is Nawaz Sharif of PML-N. His case was reverted and he was declared innocent in plane hijack case. Chief Justice was and is against Pervaiz Musharraf. Nawaz Sharif was and is against Pervaiz Musharraf. Did Nawaz Sharif also invest money in this movement? It was called lawyers’ movement. We think lawyers were used at the front to meet the objectives of others like Nawaz Sharif. So nobody should have any doubt on the collusion against Pervez Musharraf of these two men.
During the last Hajj season a plane load of journalists, TV anchors and others was paid by Malik Riyaz. That should also be investigated. Dr. Shahid Masood and others have openly said on TV programs that it should be investigated and suggested journalists should do this job by themselves to show their hoesty instead of any commission or court that which journalist is on who’s payroll.
Journalists were also given land plots by the PPP governments.
Did the journalists returned this favor in pro-PPP government
programs, comments and reports?
Recently, a couple of incidents happened a journalist blamed another of his colleagues that he accepted some sort of favor etc. That is good. Probably this is one way to know the truth but our best guess is that journalists will not speak out the truth.
There is another very easy way for public to guess and in fact judge the affiliation of journalists and TV anchors. Here are few examples which you may have come across and draw your own conclusions.
A TV anchor praised Benazir Income Support program while everybody knows this is one of the scams PPP is running.
A TV anchor praised Nawaz Sharif for his contribution to democracy while everybody knows he is the person who attacked Supreme Court building in his time. He is also a coward person who ran away from Pakistan. Sharif family signed a document before escaping to Saudi Arabia but later denied. In other words he lied that he has not signed any papers to stay away from Pakistan for ten years until Saad Hariri and Chief Intelligence of Saudi Arabia came to Pakistan and showed the agreement in a press conference.
A TV anchor asked Imran Khan how you can be successful; your party is a one man show. She was one of the persons who went to Hajj on PPP expenses. She admitted in another program when the host cornered her. Listen to her answer. She said she thought this trip is arranged and paid by Saudi government.
Continued Killings in Karachi
Who is responsible to stop these killings?
Sindh Government with out any doubt. Both, federal and provincial governments have failed to provide any peace in Karachi. Whether they are target killings or criminal killings the government is responsible to provide protection to civilians of their life and property. Apparently, nothing is happening to stop this bloodshed. It seems this bloodshed has been accepted as a norm.
Nobody is doing anything. Our men of opinion once in a while speak out but nothing more than that. Ordinary citizens are already demoralized. Supreme Court also conducted a session here in Karachi without any benefit. Just show business. Our TV channels only give us the news how many people got killed in Karachi during the last 24 hours. There should have been a concerted effort to put pressure on the government to do something to stop this bloodshed. Nothing happened.
So what we should do?
The only solution left is to bring the Army to clean out this mess. We don’t see any other way to protect the human lives. Some people say Army may be successful to stop this bloodshed then what after that. Let us stop the loss of human lives then again it will be the responsibility of the political government to maintain the law and order in the city.
Seven Persons Have Died During Doctors’ Strike
News say seven persons have died during the strike of young doctors in Punjab.
TV news anchors along with Khadim-e-Aala are blaming doctors for these deaths. What a logic. Khadim-e-Aala has arranged to employ some new doctors. Also, they have requested Army to send some doctors to serve in the government hospitals . That is good. The question is Chief Minister did not know that due to doctors’ strike some unpleasant incidents like deaths will happen. Then why he did not put his action plan into motion immediately. Why he is blaming doctors now of these deaths.
A case has also been registered against doctors for death of a child. We don’t know any doctor is named in the FIR or doctors as a group are assigned for this death. Let us see the action and decision of the court on this issue. That would be interesting to note.
Should The Doctors Have Right to Strike?
The answer is Yes.
It is not the question of serving humanity as TV news channels and their anchors are portraying doctors committing crime against the humanity.
Basically, any civilian citizen must have the right to negotiate his terms of employment. You can agree or disagree with those demands but they must have the right. Doctors should not be any exception. This is a total inability and failure of the Punjab government not able to settle down the issues on the table. This is also not appropriate for the TV news anchors to pass their personal comments and portray the doctors strike as a crime or action against the people’s sufferings. Why the striking doctors are only responsible for the suffering of the people. Why not we should blame Khadim-e-Aala for his inability to tackle the issues amicably.
Do the doctors have any other means to fight for their rights?
Again, this question can be raised that their demands are not acceptable or what ever but in any case you must give them right to take action within the laws and constitution of the country.
