Something doesn't happen in Pakistan before the conspiracy theories start sprouting everywhere. This is with reference to many people calling the current lawyer shenanigans a conspiracy by certain people to create a rift between the bar and the bench. Why can't we understand that everything is not somebody else's ploy to create problems. People act of their own accord most of the times and their actions should not be used to defame others.

After seeing the popularity of Gen Pervez Musharraf during his address in UK, all the political parties in Pakistan are flabbergasted. It is an eye opener for all the critics of Musharraf.
