پاکستان مسلم لیگ ٟنٞ کے قائد میاں نواز شریف نے ٹیکسلا میں جلسے سے خطاب کرتے ہوئے کہا ہے کہ ہم دنیا کی سپر پاور سے ٹکرا گئے تھے، اور ملک کو بچانے کے لیے ہر قربانی دیں گے۔ میاں صاحب جوش خطابت میں [...]

  Its not the news that sells, its speculation on the news that does. But its never a good omen, when subjudice legal cases become subject to speculation, its almost as heinous as gambling, perhaps even more. Talk shows and talking head pundits are all full of many speculations, headlines full of odd connotations. All making sure that [...]

The popular notion about the Swiss case against President Zardari and Shaheed Benazir Bhutto is that this case was suspended by the Swiss authorities after Attorney General, on behalf of the Pakistan Government had requested for it. This letter by the AG was written after the NRO was signed and all politically motivated  cases against the [...]

Contempt of Parliamentary Democracy Caught in their petty zeal for authority and their messiah complex, the custodians of law and justice have chosen to humiliate a duly elected Prime Minister. “Great Day for Pakistan” claim the pseudo intellectuals of this country and the haranguing anchors and the orchestra gets louder. The scum Sheikh [...]

On Thursday, we saw a new anti-PPP decision from the so-called independent judiciary. Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani has been summoned to appear before the Supreme Court on February 13 for the framing of the contempt of court charges. This could be another sad moment of Pakistan's fragile democratic history. The conspiracy behind the [...]

Yet, another summon to an elected Prime Minister by the ISI-backed Supreme Court to explain his position on on 13 February for not witting the much wanted letter to Swiss courts to re-open politically motivated graft cases against President Zardari of Pakistan. Earlier, Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani appeared in the court on 19 January 2012 [...]

Recently we had suggested that instead of a suicidal confrontation with army, the elected government should tighten the ISI-backed judges' screws via the parliament and intermediaries (e.g. leaders of the ISI-backed lawyers movement Aitzaz Ahsan, Ali Ahmed Kurd etc). We also suggested that the government must reject all suggestions by the [...]

Here I am sharing a poem with you originated in my mind last night after the (anti)climax of the Swiss cases hearing in the Supreme Court...

If some one got up from coma after a month or was away in some wonderland where they didnt have access to the internet or newspapers, especially Geo News, he will be in a complete state of shock to read THE NEWS on Sunday, September 26, 2010 a tabloid newspaper. I happen to get two newspapers on Sunday and both reflected a different political [...]

There are lots of misgivings about the MQM's character and the way they do politics. Murderers have been awarded Governorship, Ministries and City's Mayor post. Yesterday a letter by MQM's chief Altaf Hussain was published on the website of MQM saying that my life is in threat and possibly I would not be alive to lead you in future so be prepared [...]

Note:-The acquittal of Jahangir Badar from Illegal Assets Reference has proved to be another blow to the NRO myth. The tag of NRO now must die and "accused" must be the term for those under trial thus following the terms of a fair trial. To be honest enough it is quite an old joke but they say vine, romance and jokes never die out. It was about [...]

Last night I watched one time government's defender in courts, Anwar Mansoor on Rana Mubashir’s show on NEWS ONE channel. If people have forgotten who Anwar Mansoor was, he was one of the turncoats like Dr. Shahid Masood. He held the coveted position of Attorney General of Pakistan but when he didn’t get what he wanted, he turned against the [...]

Nawaz Sharif, Muslim League's of all kinds, elements in the army, religious parties and some other Nadan Dosts have one agenda and that is to discredit PPP government and bring an obscurantist ideological government in place which in essence would potentially be towing the line of the Talibans. They have done country wrong in the past and they [...]

Last year I was excited about Supreme Court hearing the case against the PCO of November 3rd , and I wrote “Can they cleanse the mess” , it is unfortunate that today I have to write about Supreme Court of Pakistan hearing the case against 18th amendment and in this process they (honorable Judges) creating more mess in the constitution and in [...]

By Yasser Latif Hamdani The Supreme Court has proved yet again that it is independent and free…  independent of any check by law and free of all rational sense. It is now becoming increasingly clear that the the Superior Courts have every intention to allow every terrorist and his mother in law loose on the streets.  By dismissing the [...]

How bad a person is Babar Awan? He is such a mean man! We were all expecting fireworks at the Supreme Court yesterday but all he did was play it down for 90 minutes, answer the judges and leave very successfully. And to top it all, a judge said "We didn't summon the Law Minister!" Whooa! What happened there? Jang Group? Ansar Abbasi? Shahid [...]

We provide below an extensive report on Babar Awan's appearance in the Supreme Court in the NRO case, providing a snapshot (from pkpolitics) of the mood (of the Ansar Abbasi led Hizbut-Tahrir mafia) before and after Awan's appearance in the SC. Also provided are two articles written by Cyril Almeida and Tahir Sarwar Mir: Before: The [...]

Source :Dawn I write this at the start of the week during which the Supreme Court starts hearings on the 18th Amendment and the NRO non-compliance case (both hearings have been adjourned).

History shows that although there were traitors in a large number, there were also some loyal people present although they were in small numbers. There are certain examples in the history which prove that loyalty comes in blood. Those people were loyal by nature. As some people are devil by nature so some people are like rock against evil. They [...]

Over the past week Pakistan has read many different news items. From the passing of the 18th amendment to the bomb blast at the US Consulate, much is happening. Some may say the stories are for the betterment of our country while others may disagree. In my mind the successful visit of the Foreign Minister and his entourage to the United States [...]

Thanks: Pakistan Media Watch Poor Mr. Ansar Abbasi – he does not know how to quit while he is ahead. After his very poor showing on Friday, Mr. Abbasi has decided to have another go at writing his “news analysis” about the NRO. The column, “After Sindh card, Zardari uses Benazir,” is Ansar’s attempt at playing judge against [...]

The has been much speculation over the reopening of the Swiss Cases which could never be substantiated with concrete proves in the last ten years. Primarily targeted at President Asif Ali Zardari, the Swiss Cases are begin used as Case in point to disqqualify him from the office of the President. The international laws do not allow for the [...]

Cross-posted from Pakistan Media Watch Just this week I posted about Jang Group’s problem with facts. Now, as if to prove my point, Ansar Abbasi writes an article filled with so many problems and errors that it’s hard to keep them all straight. The article in question appeared in Friday’s issue of The News titled, “SC’s resolve [...]

The lawyers’ movement beginning on 9th March 2007 and ending after the restoration of judges on 16th March 2009 was a major milestone in the struggle for rule of law by people of Pakistan. However, little that goes on in the corridors of power of our or any nation is as black and white we would like it to be. For it is clear, that the judges [...]

Current judicial crisis is and will remain as an impasse and the outcome will be unpleasant for the Pakistan People’s Party as well as for the whole country. What options PPP have in the current situation, and what could be the upshots of present crisis which is gaining momentum day by day, is not hard to imagine. Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto’s [...]

In the following excerpt taken from his most recent op-ed in The News (3 April 2010), Babar Sattar examines some legal implications of Article 248 of Pakistan's constitution, and advises judges in the Supreme Court to not to cross the red line, i.e. to refrain from violating their constitutional limitations.
