NRO democracy in the court

[Tayyab1796]

So Zardari who first tried to hide behind the NRO cloak , is now trying very hard to hide behind the 'immunity' cloak . Our lame duck Prime Minister who has made history by going back on his orders (there are atleast 20 orders issued by him which were later reversed) is now pleading to those NRO beneficieries to resign (ever heard a Prime Minister in a parliamentry system pleading and requesting for resignation) . The Supreme Court of Pakistan 's orders on NRO have now been declared 'not doable' by the Prime Minister and the court is expected to proceed with the hearing on Monday .
My request to Chief Justice of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan is
" My lord ! kick their butt so hard that they are forever thrown in the dustbin of history " .

All poised for the showdown in the courtroom no.1 on Monday.

Past experience suggests that the removal of governments by non-elected institutions like the military did not help democracy and accountability of the ruler; nor did it improve governance. It placed restrictions on the role of political leaders except when they agreed to be co-opted by the ruling generals. Now, another non-elected institution, the judiciary, is mounting pressure, which, if not handled carefully, can lead to a confrontation among the state institutions, causing acute political instability. The threat of confrontation between the PPP-led federal government and the superior judiciary is going to be extremely destabilising and will be detrimental to the future of democracy. The major opposition parties are expected to support the SC in this confrontation. Unlike November1997, when Nawaz Sharif confronted the SC to save his government, he is expected to support the SC this time for punitive action against the present prime minister and/or the president. Democracy is a joint exercise of different state institutions and the political class with an emphasis on constitutionalism, the rule of law and respect for democratic principles in letter and spirit. If one institution develops an aura of self-righteousness and adopts a unilateral approach of setting everything right, the political process will be stifled. All the major cases currently before the superior judiciary involve specific articles of the constitution. Some of the articles like immunity to the president from initiating or continuing with any criminal proceedings (Article 248(2)) are so clear-cut one wonders why this matter should stay unresolved for such a long time. One must think what the role Judiciary is playing.

close miss for zardari

Government can run (from implementing SC judgement) but they certainly can't hide . Every criminal in this country (from petty offences to murder) should now have the right to ask for stay on his fate from the courts.
