The PPP, from the very first day of its government, has been under criticism because of its support for National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO). The judiciary, after discussing NRO and without giving any judgment over it, moved to a major new scandal, the Memogate which brought the establishment and government face to face with each other. After creating much hype about the matter, there came another scandal which as usual left the previous one behind without any concrete saying by the Supreme Court.
Where is Mansoor Ijaz now? Will he be coming to Pakistan or not? What would be the expected judgment? All these questions were left behind when Prime Minister Sted Gilani was summoned to the Supreme Court, who has been charged with contempt of court for not writing a letter to the Swiss authorities. But all in all when strings are attached and taken together, they all lead to the same person who has been playing at the back without even coming to the pitch.
But my question is where would it lead to? Would the culprit of all the dramas be ever put in the dock? Does this have any benefit for the layman who is dying of hunger and is denied of his basic necessities? A new climax is taking place but no one knows when it would end.
