Air Martial (Retd) Asghar Khan deserves national appreciation for his 1996 petition regarding the lavish distribution of Mehran Bank’s, under duress, dole of Rs 340 million, for distribution amongst various political dignitaries, in the “supreme national interest” under the orders of then President Ghulam Ishaq Khan, through former army chief Aslam Beg.
The act was reprehensible and the SC must bring all those involved to book so that this unholy alliance of money and politics can be unravelled and the prospect of hidden hand interference in the political process curtailed.
