Doctrine of Necessity

Today 21st amendment in the Constitution was approved by the National Assembly and the Senate to establish military courts. It was against the constitution to establish a parallel judicial system. So to establish military courts was declared a necessity of the time.

That proved the validity of the Doctrine of Necessity.

Where are those people today who were telling us Doctrine of Necessity has been buried once and for all. They were voting in favor of military courts today. Aitzaz Hassan, Ali Ahmed Kurd, Hamid Khan, Asma Jehangir and many others including TV anchors and so called experts and political analysts besides the politicians who were posing themselves as champion of democracy while they were supporting political chief justice of supreme court.

This is also a proof of failure of present judicial systems and the judiciary.

 

Military Courts, Supreme Court and Maulana Fazalur Rahman

JUI, Fazalur Rahman, maulana fazalur rahman Maulana Fazalur Rahman has proposed that in 21st amendment of the constitution provisions should be made that decisions of the military courts can be appealed in the supreme court.

This is equal to negating the efforts of military courts. If the supreme court is able to do something worth while then we will not need the proposed military courts.

Nawaz Sharif has tried to pacify Asif Zardari and Altaf Hussain by including the clause that central government will decide which case should be referred to military courts. They bought the idea since it is for two years and hopefully situation will not arise against them. But Maulana Fazalur Rahman will not buy this assurance since the people believe these terrorists use religion for their terrorist activities.

What will happen next? Wait and see. Nawaz Sharif has assigned this job to Ishaq Dar and Pervez Rasheed to convince Maulana Fazalur Rahman. Jamat-e-Islami is also saying they will not vote in favor. Is the amendment going to be approved? Probably it will be. Tomorrow? This question is still there. The national assembly meeting may be postponed once again.

Chaudary Shujat Hussain Supports Madrassas

Talking to Hanif Jalandri, general secretary of Wafaq al Madaras over the phone Chaudary Shujat Hussain (PMLQ) said relgious schools commonly knows as madarassas are not doing anything wrong and he support their existence.

The question for Chaudary Shujat Hussain is the Talibans and Jihadies where they got their training of Jihad and who taught them the definition of evil they are fighting now. What Maulana Samiul Haq (Madrassa Haqaniya) and Maulana Fazal ur Rahman along with others teaching them in their madrassas.

Chaudary Shujat Hussain had backing of religious parties in parliament elections so he wants to have good relations with for future political maneuvers .

Nawaz Sharif’s Definition of National Unity

nawaz_sharif You have heard hundreds of time in a days on TV channels and in read in newspapers from political leaders and prime minister Nawaz Sharif that we need the whole nation be united against terrorists. How much Nawaz Sharif is committed to eliminate terrorism we will talk about that at some other time. Nawaz Sharif’s definition of nation’s unity means don’t say anything against the poor performance of his government and don’t talk about 2013 votes rigging. What wonderful approach Nawaz Sharif’ has about the national unity.

Dunyanews Celebrated its Sixth Birthday

Last week Dunyanews celebrated its 6th birthday. Congratulation to owners and workers of the media house. The chief guest was Pervez Rashid (PMLN) federal information minister. That was shameful. Pervez Rashid is well known for his lies. In fact in one of the TV shows a well respected correspondent said he wish he could find a person who can compete with Pervez Rashid in his lies.

It is up to the management of Dunyanews media house to whom they invite as chief guest but we wonder Dunyanews management thinks that high about Pervez Rashid. Obviously we are bound to think whether Dunyanews is more interested to get the advertisement from information ministry rather than keeping their impartiality in their programming.

Who is Going to be the Next Chief Election Commissioner?

It does not make any difference who is going to be the next chief election commissioner. The present poor rather corrupt performance of the election commission will continue.

Why?

Here is the reason. When you want to construct a bridge you get a civil engineer for the job. When you need to keep a close eye on your cash flow you assign the job to an accountant. When you want to build machinery you get a mechanical engineer. When you will put an accountant in place of a civil engineer you know what will happen.

Conducting election is a project management type job. You need an administrator with strong project management skills. Every professional mentioned above have necessary education, training and experience. A judge has the education in law and have the experience in the use and interpretation of different clauses and articles of law. That is what he has been doing all along his career. What he knows about project management or administration.

Because our system of governance is so corrupted our decision makers think they need an honest person for conducting the election. To get the job done you need a professional and to circumvent the corruption you need a strong system with strong checks and balances. None of them exists in our present election system.

Do you think an honest accountant can do the job of a civil engineer. Just because he is honest. Honesty has nothing to do with the professional knowledge and experience. Assigning, selecting or electing or nominating a judge as election commissioner will not any good to the election system.

We all have seen what the judge who worked as chief election commissioner previously has delivered. He may be honest but he did not have the management skills.

Our politicians are making that mistake again by putting a judge for the job of chief election commissioner. Some one can say this is what is written in the constitution. Who designed the constitution, the same politicians.

One more idea may be Zardari (PPP) and Nawaz Sharif (PMLN) know better than us how to manipulate the election results so they agree to put this requirement in the constitution. An old retired judge (preferably 70+ years) who don’t have energy left for anything best suits them as chief election commissioner.

 

Nawaz Sharif in UK to Attend the Afghanistan Conference

This is a big joke.

The man who do not have the capacity and who could not deliver anything good to his own country he is going to suggest or participate in Afghanistan’s betterment. What a joke.
