I don’t understand how the most corrupt institutions (legal and political) are suddenly perking up as nation’s saviors. Even the so-called journalists are no better than CNN or Fox – pandering to the emotional and devoid of analytical research. Another actor, the West, is no less hypocritical in its approach and past power players like Kissinger even admit to exploit notions of “freedom” such as women’s rights and democracy as foreign policy tools.

I grew up in Pakistan. Growing up, I saw the lawyers stab their own clients in the back. I saw the courts prolong cases unless “greased”. I saw the treatment meted out to the lower classes. I saw the corruption.

On the issue of reference, even the SC’s own report while Iftikhar was in office states that less than 40 suo-motto cases were heard by any bench, and over 3,500 were heard by Iftikhar in his chamber alone. What kind of judiciary was he running?

The tone in your comments reeks of high-headedness. Seems as if the the entire judiciary issue has hit a nerve somewhere, anyone in the family serving in Pakistan Army’s Napak Bari Fauj?

The link you have posted makes no mention of Army’s corruption. The so called judicial corruption the document refers to is at the lower courts (district level). But then again there are top judges like Musharraf’s paaltu kutta the Attorney General Malik Qayyum who was wiretapped asking for instructions on how to punish Zardari and Bhutto.

All I can do for you is pray!

With reference to corrupt judiciary, you some how fail to mention the financial embezzlement /and perks which these corrupt generals extract out of this poor nation even after surrendering (a humiliating defeat ) to INDIA in 1971 where they were involved in the massacre of their own nation and then in Kargil (refuse to help there own army personal heroes like Capt Col Sher gul who bravery was acknowledged by the Indian forces ) they have the audacity to call themselves loyal ,Musharaf has simply broke all previous record of slavery to USA . I dont what he means when he call himself a commando.

Musharraf is not President of Pakistan nor is an Army general. He is occupying power because of the power of gun and due to the support of Bush. Busharraf is a traitor who has sold Pakistan’s interests to the americans so that they control Pakistan and its nuclear weapons. Rohail: wake up. He meets with Israeli ministers and conspires against his countrymen so that Pakistan can become another Iraq?

Musharraf was forced to write this letter to ABA only as there were never ending accusations levelled at him and his policies by these corrupt lawyers. And just to remind you that it was initially the ex-CJP’s daughter who started this trend of writing letters worldwide, maligning Pakistan and causing a bad image of Pakistan world wide.

When these lawyers and their western kids never get tired of reaching worldwide and on-purpose portraying a negative picture of Pakistan worldwide….and when the western media then questions the President of Pakistan…. why shouldn’t Pakistan REPLY to these worldwide blackmailers to clarify its position?

All these newly popped up agitations that are funded through and organised by Hameed GUL are just impressive tactics aimed at regime change of President. And, then you expect him not to defend himself? The people of PAK are with Musharraf!

CROCODILE TEARS OF A CORRUPT JUDICIARY
If the judiciary is so fair, and Mr. Chaudhry is so honest, why the judiciary is the second from top of the list of corrupt institutions in one of the most corruption-hit countries in the world i.e. Pakistan
One can check the Transparency International records to learn about what Mr. Chaudhry and his clan has done with the good name of Judiciary, which has been shining at the peak of corruption, second only to Police!

Just calling Musharraf a dictator, idiot, moron, or whatever, won’t help anyone. The president has rightly showed the exit door to the corrupt elements. Any sensible person would agree with the corruption rating of our judiciary, and the pains it has inflicted upon the nation. But enough is enough.

Let’s fight reason with reason. I do expect that this comment would get a lot of battering from some viewers who are devoid of (or would wish to stay devoid of, whatever they would prefer) any reason and logical argument, but fact is a fact.

I take pity on the poor soul. He’s completely lost in sea, might have helped if he were a navy commodore, would atleast know about navigation using the stars. This moron is driving his tank blind using an american GPS and a Gujrati driver - and not one thing is working correctly.

Filthy coward dictator that Musharraf is, he acts like a true hypocrate. Whenever he speaks he always lies. a sign of the hypocrate.
May ALLAH’s curse be on him.
CJP Iftekhar Choudhry is the heroof the nation and the dictator is a traitor and slave of USA. There is no comparison at all. Nobody, even in international arena believes the dictator.

its a word to word copy of earlier reference that was cooked up by clowns from Mush’s legal team..which was thrown out and dismissed by Supreme Court of Pakistan and The court fined the government Rs 100,000 and suspended the advocate on record who filed the “scandalous dossier of evidence

plus is’nt it hilarious that this dictator has the audacity to accuse others about:
“judiciary made dysfunctional”
“harassment of judges”
“curbing judicial independence”
“misuse of authority”
“highhandedness,nepotism and manipulation”
“Interference in Administration”
self promotion
highvisibilty in media
etc etc ….

on all these counts Mush himself can be tried in (Independent)court and won’t be able to come out clean ..
