It was good to learn that the Caretaker Prime Minister Justice (retd) Mir Hazar Khan Khoso is a man who simply wants to concentrate on the job. His stand, not to get involved in extraneous activities when general elections are just a couple of weeks away is both sound and based on proper reasoning.
When the senate passed the resolution on the issue, Musharraf didn’t take the first flight out of the country. He stayed in Pakistan for quite some time during which the government could have taken the action but failed to do so.
We know in Turkey and Egypt, the civilian leaders have limited the military to its conventional role but this feat has been accomplished by ‘real’ leaders with untainted past.
I think it is about time that those in authority, and the coming government, adopt a positive attitude, do things that would be beneficial to the country and the people.
