Where does our recent history stand on delivering justice to Pakistani people?

Laws catch flies but let hornets go free – A Scottish proverb

There are piles of records in world history that manifests this proverb. Pakistan is no better. We have a highly dis-coordinated working system in which mechanized corruption systematically progresses; and those who dissent, are snubbed or sidelined by the state.

Our respectable judicial system has always been under political pressure which halts the functioning and procedures to fair trail and often makes the judgments politically objectionable. This political pressure and monopoly of elites ensures that the system acquits the big-wigs under the cover of law.

We don’t have to go very far to see the lacunae; Ayan Ali, Dr. Asim Hussain, Model Town case and still in process the Panama papers case. Two of these cases have been concluded, one awaits justice and the fourth has been delayed to nowhere.

It was a dramatic coincidence that the investigation officer who was probing into Ayan Ali’s case got killed during the early stages of the trial, but no outrage and no investigation has yet been made in that regard. After enjoying month’s long protocol, Ayyan Ali was finally set free on bail from prison after four months and finally, she was let scot free earlier this year. She was allegedly involved in money laundering, caught by Airport security officers at Benazir International Airport on March 14, 2015 carrying $506,800.

Pakistani Politics after Panama Decision: Lull before the Storm?

It’s been four days since the Supreme Court verdict, in Panama Case, and gradually, in steps and stages, a clearer picture of the political chessboard is materializing before us.

Khan also does not afford to send the message that his fight is not against corruption but only against Nawaz. If PPP decides to give Bilawal Bhutto greater profile on this issue then a more close coordination may emerge between PTI and PPP.

The opposition, that has remained split, since the stormy days of 2007, now finally seem to have united against the Nawaz government. The current narrative of almost every major opposition party, and political entity from Bar Associations to major publications is that the Prime Minister of Pakistan has lost his moral authority to lead the country. Despite frenzied attempts by Islamabad’s political establishment, PMLN leaders and aligned tv channels nicknamed as Ptv-2 and Ptv-3, to label the verdict as a victory for the government, the national conversation on the street, college canteen and drawing room is slowly gaining momentum in favor of the argument of the opposition parties – that Nawaz Sharif has lost his moral authority to govern.

Despite frenzied attempts by Islamabad’s political establishment, PMLN leaders and aligned tv channels nicknamed as Ptv-2 and Ptv-3, to label the verdict as a victory for the government, the national conversation on the street, college canteen and drawing room is slowly gaining momentum in favor of the argument of the opposition parties – that Nawaz Sharif has lost his moral authority to govern.

The PPP has come out swinging after the verdict. Recalling the 2012 Case of ‘Letter to Swiss Authorities’, when PM Gillani was resisting Supreme Court orders to write letter to Swiss Authorities to open up old cases, the PPP’s leadership now reminded Prime Minister Nawaz of his statements in which he publicly asked the then Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gillani to step down citing the loss of moral authority. Asif Ali Zardari, while petitioning the Prime Minister to step down, also stated that he knew Nawaz Sharif would never resign consensually but rather will have to be dragged off his seat. Aitazaz Ahsan, the opposition leader of the Senate, tweeted:
