It is amazing era that we are living in. The cases which are in courts, including the SC, are openly discussed in talk shows on TV. The anchors give their ‘verdicts’ and the participants give their viewpoints to counter the arguments. They only act as paid mercenary of their parties. They resort to loud shouting, cynicism and become even derogatory.
In some programmes, the anchors act as judges. To the best of my knowledge, such cases cannot be discussed in public till the courts give their decisions in black and white. On 15th April, I was surprised even more when I read a news item that President Zardari declares Musa Gilani as innocent in drug case. Musa Gilani’s name is being taken as a perpetrator and SC has summoned Musa to clarify his position. He has not been proven guilty yet.
Executive action should be taken against those elements which are passing verdicts on the media about the cases that are yet to be decided. Why are we complicating the case? I am dead sure that the SC judges are not biased or ignorant. We should allow them to do their job without prejudice. Drug case is a fact and serious in nature. Let the SC bring to books the culprits.
