These touts of corrupt judges should stop their nonsense.
It seems u r touting for mr 10 percent.

And, you?

It’s a good move to stop the judicial activism. Judiciary has become a party not pillar of state. The problem with the Pakistan Supreme Court is that it is partisan. The way our society is over politicized, the same way our SC is. The SC by all means has a political agenda which is reflected in their judicial practices and that is in demonizing the civilian rule in general and a specific political party in particular. It seems Pakistan’s simplified problem is the people aren’t taking up the responsibility of their role and the Supreme Court is playing the part of the spoiling. Chief Justice was trying to assume all the traits of a monarch. This step taken by the Government is not to undermine the supremacy of the Judiciary but to strengthen democracy.
If only Pakistani Judges could have the long term wisdom you have so ably shown. The unfortunate reality is that the same arm-chair, non-voting critics of civilian governments who used to encourage military dictators are all too happy to encourage judicial ones. And the PCO CJ loves it. However imperfect, democracy must prevail for it is the best long term solution to Pakistanis problems… The efforts are to kick out the secular coalition and the only options are rightwing forces including generals. We are still angry that how Americans found OBL sitting pretty in our army base and leaving no stone unturned to punish all possible liberals who might have helped the Americans including Hussain Haqqani. I am not a member of any of the ruling parties but in this war with the extremists one has to choose lesser of the two evils.
I believe Pakistan people are reasonable and well meaning. It has contradictions and I believe will be resolved in time. It is an irony that democracy was not allowed for a long time. Political leadership carries lots of negativity. We easily see it is corrupt face, because it is accountable to us. Can we ask questions to military leadership? Isn’t it the irony of a system that judiciary of Pakistan never questioned a military rule. It always validated them. We in India have corrupt leaders; we’ll devise ways to set them right. It will take time. The role of military is to defend the country. Why did court allow military officers to appear in court over ruling civilian Government? The first job is to keep army under civil rule. If the humanity has to move forward please fight against poverty, illiteracy, gender bias, disease etc. A healthy, educated and well informed society will always take right decisions.
