Clash of the titans... Zardari replies to Nawaz diatribes...

The fight has begun "Molvi Nawaz Shareef should learn to be a real tiger".

Zardari had shown lots of patience for three years. Today he burst out in response to what Nawaz Shareef blurted out in Kashmir. And he came on hard. Nawaz Shareef somehow does not forget to attack Musharraf whether the occasion warrants it or not. Wonder why did he make a deal and went away for so long. Today he made scathing attacks on Zardari.

Me no admirer of Zardari is now forced to acknowledge him as a more astute politician more in touch with the ground reality. He is hoisting his flags every where and moving forward. He has this capacity not to rub people on the wrong side quite the opposite of Mian Nawaz Shareef. From where he has acquired this aplomb I have no idea. Khuda jab Husn detha hai tho nazakath aa hi jaathi hai.

Zardari lashed him as a paper tiger. He went on to say if he has forgotten politics that he is welcome to consult him in private or public. It think Nawaz Shareef will put an end to his diatribes against him and Musharraf for good. He will if he is a true politician not if he is the product of the establishment of Zia ul Haq who tried to subdue and kill PPP for 11 years. Couldn't. http://www.dawn.com/2011/06/22/nawaz-trying-to-pit-govt-against-army-zardari.html http://www.thenews.com.pk/NewsDetail.aspx?ID=17404 http://www.samaa.tv/newsdetail.aspx?ID=33295

Making a mockery of justice is it?

Have you paid back in kind Sir?

Well now the circle is complete. Nawaz struggled for you and you paid back as the public perception goes. One can say you are not "ehsan faramosh"( you always return a favour). Amazing how the judgements are over turned by the top judges like top cops playing with law and order.

Sir you you had raised the bar for judges with your steel mill decision. You saved a big asset of the people of Pakistan. The world applauded. Your reputation went sky high when you stood up to the pressures of Shaukat Aziz Government. But now what have you done Sir? You were my hero. What have you done? Soiled your image in one shot? Let's hope not. One wonders what you will do with NRO.

You should have at least stepped aside for the sake of Pakistan Judiciary and to preserve your name in history and remained a symbol of justice and unity for Pakistan. I am very sad today for you. How could you let go a person who had imperilled the lives of a plane load of human beings also carrying The Chief of The Pakistan Army go scott free and a person who has no objective except revenge against a person who he had a feud with. He is holding the nation to ransom for his personal satisfaction.

Ab tho Pakistan ka waqqai "Khuda Hafiz". Now only God can take care of Pakistan.

President Zardari and President Obama

Yesterday Obama had spoken, 

today Zardari... What a contrast?

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/03/27/AR2009032700891.html?sid=ST2009032700916

The difference is obvious. I waited the whole day to listen to Zardari as no time was given when exactly he would speak. When he did the lights went out. So all the waiting was lost. Any ways I listened and discovered later.

When Obama spoke his was a landmark speech. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0aJ23skfVO0 Well thougt out, well planned and offered something substantial to all the parties. He spoke of development both for Pakistan and Afghanistan and talked at length of his plans to counter terrorism that would help not only US but Pakistan and the whole world. Here was a Harvardian speaking. Every word structured articulated, nothing loose.

When Zardari spoke he offered removal of Governors Rule. It was to go any way. That is nothing but a sop. We were hoping he would make some major announcements. We had thought he would remove 58-2B which he calls 52-8B. He can always go back and say he never offered to remove 58-2B. LOL. Well he made a committee for that and to repeal the 17th amendement. When you want to shelve an issue you make a committee and hand over is an old adage in Management.

For $1.5 Billion he says $1.5 Million. Sir it is billion and not million.  http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/7969450.stm Listen to it.

I wish Zardari had spoken of making some structural reforms. Instead he spoke for his own survival and some apple polishing of Nawaz Sharif after having discovered his power in Punjab. We need major reforms so that we tide over the problems of energy, industry and employment that would give a fillip to economy and remove poverty in the end. 

We wanted to hear from you that from today you have empowered the people of Pakistan by introducing land ceiling and freeing the rural suppressed people of Pakistan. You did not do that. We thought you would grant free land to major corporations of the world to come and  build factories there by giving jobs to our people and earning foreign exchange for us. We thought you would annonce a clamp down on all terrorist activities and utter lawlessness that prevails in the country. You did nothing President Saheb. Just blaming the past will do you nor us any good.

I wish you made a committee that would give you recommendations on how our people can usher in a new era of peace and prosperity. I will give you some ideas here.

Will the President climb down or have a showdown?

Contradictory Leaks- won't help...

The news comes out that he wants to mediate and come to a settlement. Then a contradiction is released saying he wants to have a political showdown. Earlier the whole night the nation waited as the news on Channels was that The President having made a dash back from Tehran is conferring with The Prime Minister. Nothing comes of it. Now again there is talk of reconciliation. The flip flop continues.

There is news that Ms Shery Rahman has resigned on the stiffling of the media. There is no confirmation or denial. News papers have front page headlines of her resignation but contrary information appears on TV. What are we to make of it? Stop all this Mr. President, it is going to hurt you more and more.

On the ground we see all sorts of roadblocks created across the country,  so that people and lawyers do not end up in Islamabad. President Sir don't forget the Newton's Laws. The more you press the more it hits back. So please for God's sake do not be stubborn. You have gotten away in financial matters, thanks ot NRO,  now don't loose your shirt in politics. You promised something to Nawaz. Now give him what he wants, only what you agreed in writing and be done with it.

The entire nation thinks you are reneging on a done deal, including your PPP guys who are embarrassed. Yes you did not get the mandate to re-instate Iftiqar Choudhry but Sir you made a deal and a promise with somebody. So please honor it before things get worse. Do it man. Rise up to the occasion. Do not listen to your cronies. Listen to the wise people like us!

You cannot address the pressing issues of the country with this Chief Justice issue hanging on your head like a sword. You have to solve the Swat insurgency, Kashmir, Economy, Energy and so many such problems. Be brave. 

Reinstate Choudhry as CJ and remove the Jiyala judges you have appointed without due process. You will never get justice by having unjust judges.
