Handle with care

With the dramatic resignation of the Law Minister Babar Awan to plead reference case of Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto (ZAB) in the Supreme Court of Pakistan commencing April 13, 2011, has raised many serious questions.

Our elected government should take this case seriously and there was no need to dramatise or draw political mileage from the case at all. Since the judiciary is already independent in the country, any serious lack of proper pleading of the case would finally prove fatal to the ZAB reference unduly.

I suggest that a panel of distinguished lawyers irrespective of the political parties affiliation must be formed to plead the case purely on merit basis.
