A Citizen’s Petition
I was going through the text of infamous petition of Mr. Nawaz Sharif , that "My Lord" has taken an immediate notice. I realized if this was written by Nawaz Sharif himself and were "آئنی" and not "فرمایشی", then it would have been like this. I am sure "My Lord" will not have the courage to even read such petition. A Citizen of [...]
Chohdary Court vs Dogar Court
“Justice” Abdul Hameed Dogar of “Dogar” court was just an addition to the long list of jokers who were always available to dictators in Pakistan. Abdul Hameed Dogar was no worse than “Justice” Haleem, “Justice” Irshad Hassan Khan or “Justice” Shaikh Riaz. The Dogar court judges were weak in every sense of the word, there [...]
Chief Justice of Pakistan: A monumental failure – by pejamistri
Big successes often turn into monumental failures and this is one such case. It does not matter whether CJ Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry (IMC) was hand in glove with Kyani in order to get rid of Pervez Musharraf, the point is people started putting faith in him. In my observation, CJ IMC is probably the biggest failure in the history of Pakistan, [...]
Pakistani heroes of Bangladesh – by Hasan Mujtaba
بنگلہ دیش اور اس کے پاکستانی ہیرو بنگلہ دیشی حکومت اور عوام کی طرف سے ان کی حمایت کے لیے مانے اور جانے والے اس وقت کے مغربی پاکستانی سیاسی رہنماؤں اور دانشوروں میں جو نام ہیں وہ ہیں سندھی قوم [...]
On General Musharraf’s betrayal by General Kayani – by pejamistri
In a recent interview General Pervez Musharraf has admitted that he was indeed betrayed by no other than his own generals. Saleem Safi (Geo TV) asked him out of the politicians he acquainted with during his era whom he found the person with "character" and who "disappointed" him most. After a long pause and thinking, Pervez Musharraf [...]
The real story- by Peja Mistri
ISI routinely hires Pakistan’s right wing journalists to feed the stories in order to improve the image of military mafia. Such stories are usually very abstract and are written by the ISPR ”master minds” in such a way which ( in their “wisdom”) will leave a better impression of the current Don (COAS) and his cronies. It is [...]
Keep everything secret! Under the oath of course – by pejamistri
One thing I never understood is the obsession of certain quarters and personalities to keep things secret using the lame excuse of oath (yes the same oath for which they have absolute no regard when it comes to being threatened by the naked force of army). Yesterday CJ IMC was concerned about the attorney general of Pakistan not being under oath [...]
‘Criminal negligence’ and the economical truth
It is sometimes frustrating and at other times disappointing that the honorable judges of supreme court of Pakistan know exactly what they are supposed to do, however either intentionally or unintentionally they don't do the right things. Yesterday at one point, CJ tried to be appreciative of the 18th amendment and the Parliament to correct an [...]
We borrowed it from South Africa?… No Sir!!
One of the questions that CJ and some other judges keep asking from the petitioner's counsels is: Does parliament have a say in judicial appointments in other countries? Mr. Akram Shaikh in his arguments tried to mislead the court and tried to divert the question to the appointments in UK by the judicial commission which has no [...]
Please make the proceeding secret… we have a lot of dirty linen!!
Akram Sheikh said it was deplorable that the proceedings before the parliamentary committee considering the names would not be secret, saying that any aspirant not approved by the committee would be stigmatised for ever for such posts in future. In a country where the people like Abdul Hameed Dogar have reached to the Supreme Court of Pakistan [...]
