The three interlinked events which happened one after the other, namely: Raymond Davis case, the OBL Abbottabad operation and lately the Memogate, may eventually expose the truth which the corrupt may be hiding. The SC is on it and the people of Pakistan are eagerly waiting for the outcome.
The statements of the federation and COAS/DG ISI are poles apart. Who is hiding the truth? Only time will decide. The government have taken a stance that there is nothing in the Memogate. However, the COAS and DG ISI have called the memo authenticated. The government is probably being misguided by the corrupt amongst the high-ups. It seems the army has ample evidence against all those who desired what was written in the memo.
In any country, majority of the people would back the non-corrupt and upright. In our country, the corrupt have eaten away billions from the state owned corporations. A few days ago, a noted parliamentarian while on a talk show stated that the PM and his family were corrupt. Till today there is no response or a notice by the PM for defamation. Why is it so? I hope this is not correct as it certainly tarnishes his and the government’s image, here and abroad.
