Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhary has arisen to join the ranks of Muslim heroes like Hazrat Umer-i-Farooq (RA) and Imam Khamenei of Iran who punished their son and son-in-law thus setting a shining example of justice in Islam.
We must not lose such a person as Chief Justice of Supreme Court who ought to be appointed as the next President of Pakistan after the incumbent steps down in 2013. It would be a God-sent occasion to fill the post of president by the chief justice who has come out of the fire to become pure gold.
If the CJ were to oversee the malpractices of the government functionaries and politicians in a fearless manner as president, it would be a glorious day for Pakistan.
This would prove to be antithesis of the corruption ridden ruling party henchmen under the present godfather who protects the corrupt ministers like a mother hen protecting its chicks to save them from hawkish vision of Supreme Court under the leadership of Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhary. Let the nation not lose such a person for the posterity.
