With the Panama case verdict, a vast majority of our population are in sense of hopelessness and everywhere you go you see people that are abusing and cursing the supreme court and the system as a whole. No one believe that FBR or FIA or State Bank or the other institutions that are to be part of JIT will deliver something that a strong supreme court failed to do. What they fail to understand is that supreme court could not have penalized the guilty as it was NOT a criminal trial. There was nothing much else the panel could do. This is because of lack of awareness but mostly because people have been deliberately misguided, AGAIN. What else where you think those celebration were about when the panel of supreme court have clearly stated that PM and his family failed to provide evidence and justification of those properties and what they have said is doubtful and needs to be investigated further. Two of the five members even went to the extent to state that it is obvious that they family is guilty and the PM is no longer suitable to hold the office and must be disqualified.
There is not a single judge that have confirmed that Nawaz Sharif and his family are innocent and all their properties are made by legal means and the case should be dismissed! NO A SINGLE ONE have stated this. The best thing for the government in this verdict is ambiguity in words in some places but still a clear call of further investigation of sitting prime minister and his family. The worst thing is the disqualification decision by two judges including the head of the panel. (and in fact, these are the only two who have given a decision, the other three have just asked for further probe declaring prime minister neither guilty nor innocent)
The only defense the NS and Co. presented, the Qatri Letter have been thrown in the bin by all five. In light of the other evidence presented or even the lack of it;
2 judges have said that it is over and NS have to be disqualified.
3 have said that they are not sure and want the matters to be investigated further.
Then why the celebration if not to simply misguide the nation. One minister and a key member of PMLN went on to state that the verdict proves that PM is both sadiq and ameen. I am yet to find a single sentence in 500 plus page decision stating that.
Sir, the prime minister is not eligible to hold the office as per two judges and the remaining three have doubts on what have been said in the court and want further investigation. Please do not misguide us.
Now that the cat is out of the bag, the ruling elite have remembered that the Qatri letter was never there prime evidence and that there were documents and money trail (that they have promised dozens of time now, in parliament and in supreme court but still fail to produce) as well that the lawyers fail to present. Have you listened to what NS lawyer said yesterday? I think it was enough to prove what actually is happening, still they have made the nation believe that supreme court have betrayed them and that corruption is here to stay forever.
The family can sense it but they won’t let you. They are powerful and will go all out but we should not be helping them in accomplishing that. Please do not let the efforts of this one year go down the drain by just giving it up right now. We know what have happened, we should believe in it. Rather than spreading awareness across we our self are getting restless and hopeless, THAT SHOULD NOT HAPPEN, PLEASE. I will even go all out and say that do it as a personal favor to me while in fact, it is a favor to OUR country.
Frankly speaking, what else have we done to turn anything for good except sitting on this online forum and spreading the word across? It will be sad and shameful if we even stop contributing that. We are only a few educated members here on the forum with access to internet, this is a privilege and we of all should have better understanding. Think about the millions who need to be made aware of the reality, by us! Do this as a duty to motherland as the system as it exists today may not last for long. This have to end and we will be honored to be the ones to do that.
I am not saying that JIT is going to work perfectly, not even very confident, but I for one am ALWAYS against speculating things and specially against forming and giving judgements on those speculations. Even when case proceedings were underway I was always asking all the members to pray and hope for the best but at the same time, kept of telling that do not get there hopes too high. That was NOT the time to do guess work. THIS is not the time either. The JIT names will give us some 10-20% idea. Rest we will have another 15-20% when they present their first report. Till then, we should hold our horses and NOT LOSE hope. You have to believe me when I say that this is exactly what the guilty party will want.
If they can deprive you of hope for justice, they take out most of your energy to fight for it and almost win the case before it even starts. This is the first, the most important and a time proven formula to enslave people, to make them believe that nothing can be done now. When we got HOPE we were able to defeat the BRITISH and get independence. What else do you think Allama Iqbal contributed but spreading the awareness? May be even Jinnah? A leader that the nation believed in and through him, believed in what seemed impossible. And what drive Jinnah? To me, it was the HOPE and FAITH of a nation that believed in him to deliver. I am not comparing anyone here with Quadi-e-Azam, no one can be, may be NEVER but just stating a fact.
Pick up any revolution and you will find the same thing, pick up and oppression and you will read the same happening? The first thing an oppressor does is to kill hope, it is easy picking after that. Do not let that happen.Do not let them force you to choose the best from the worst and be happy and contend with it. This is our country and we want the best of the best of it.
What should be happening right now is nation full of confidence that they are going to stand up to corruption and will root it out.
Acceptance of corrupting, while cheering it or crying about it is equally bad in my eyes. We do not want to join that second category. Have faith in yourself, in Allah and even in these institutions and your faith, faith and hope of 200 million population can and will make EVERYONE work properly.
Faith is a power and we all know it. What else make you believe in miracles? If the JIT knows that the nation is not expecting anything from them to begin with, they won’t go out on a limb to prove them wrong, the easy job for them will be what is expected from them.
Don’t give the corrupt the easy way out, do not pretend or act as if we don't care. This is OUR COUNTRY, WE CARE!! It is our children who will live here, how can we not care?
I have already asked what alternative judgement were any of you expecting or what it should have been? There is no practically possible alternative. We were not thinking of a direct disqualification and a suspension would have been of absolutely no practical value at all since the acting PM from this same team of corrupt would have only carried forward the same agenda. May this could have been even damaging as now if one of the three judges is convinced by JIT and the majority decision then becomes against PM, he won’t be able to cry foul play. He was sitting right there on top of the matters while it all happened. And INSHALLAH it will happen, INSHALLAH!!!
