thanks a lot for taking pains in putting up your replies, much appreciated.
i dont think two wrongs can make a right. Zulfikar Ali Bhutto being hanged was the lowest of the lows that pakistan touched post the 71 partition, and his hanging can certainly not be justified in any which way. i agree with you law needs to take its course, for if any thing law of the land needs to prevail no matter how heinous a crime someone does and whatever may be the popular perception and sentiments, same needs to follow in musharraf's case, and on a similar note i have always felt no matter what kasab did, still he needs a trail, that is free of any prejudice if any.
1). taking this discussion forward, what do you feel about the current status of judiciary of pakistan. i have a feeling that the politicians, military and other stake holders still exert a good amount of influence on the judiciary, just as has been shown in few of the recent rulings by the supreme court and high courts of pakistan. is there this nexus still between these stake holders and the top cream of pakistan judiciary or is it just my perception which seems to have developed after watching/reading media reports.
2). why do people of pakistan expect that the CJP will issue a suo motto notice on each and every problem that the country confronts. if the same were to happen here in india, it would be termed over activism and in that case with public pressure formed through media, the judiciary here would have no option but to relent and back off.
3). with raising these points, i'm getting a sense, people in pakistan look for superheroes where this superhero can do miracles, so if the same dream is sold by a dictator they fall for him, now if the same dream is shown by a judge they would want him to be extremely powerful and play that role, where as any transformation takes time and no one person can ever bring about that transformation, and if all the powers are bestowed on one person, one is sure to make a demon out of him. if i am right in my assumption, then why do people of pakistan not realise that by dreaming of such superheroes they are only dreaming of creating demons who would only cause more pains in the long run, where as the only long term solution is to build institutions of credibility which act as natural counter balance and counter checks for each other.
4). i agree with satish, where he says, eduction is the only way out and none other and that is the only revolution pakistan needs to have but here education has to teach the right, unlike what certain vested interests would like others to read. do you think this is possible in pakistan and has this issue has been addressed to in the recently released education policy.
PS: i have digressed from the main topic, so if you feel this is taking it too far off than what the thread was intended for, then please leave these questions unattended.
PPS: i am in no way trying to say we do not have our share of ills, in fact we have many, so same not be interpreted please.
thanks.
