NRO & Supreme Court
Body Politics of Pakistan needs no definition for diligently alert and watchful people of Pakistan. The others who are affiliated to respective political parties are quite cantankerous to accept any kind of blame on their political parties. And when the question arises that who looted and still looting the nation — interestingly and engrossingly everyone becomes so innocent that they start calling Rooti as Choochi. Not so good, but still worthy enough of causing shame. National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO) is one such thing that has again made our leaders substantiate with evidence that either they really are infants that they call Rooti as Choochi or awaam is still in a state of infancy. Possibility of both could also be the case, by chance that it’s Pakistan.
Since the time the list of NRO beneficiaries has been made available to the general public on the directives of Prime Minister Gilani, every political party is asserting that they’re falsely accused of being the beneficiary of NRO. Some 8,041 people have benefited from NRO, out of which 34 are well known and threadbare politicians.
NRO was promulgated on the name of greatest national interest of Pakistan, but is that a way to acquit the criminals of nation without means of a decision making echelon, or without proper justice; is that the way to let go the looters of nation and maintain the status quo each time by giving immunity to the looters of nation? How can this nation progress when the nation itself is bestowing amnesty to the looters. What more disgrace it could ever be that a robber is robbing our home and we’ve set ourselves free to watch the robber and allow him to rob as much as his ability allows him. We’re too generous without principles, no?
An American friend of mine was saying: I actually wanted to write a movie about missing person from Pakistan — and show the world how messed up this whole Bush-created War on Terror has become. My husband is a screenwriter. But he told me that “nobody in Hollywood wants to make movies about the war on terror.” And I am afraid he is right. Americans just want to keep on shopping and living their lives like nothing is wrong. But, Absar, everything is wrong!
After reading her, I gave her words a second thought. Are we not doing the same thing, I ask? We’re living our lives as if nothing is wrong. Yet everything is wrong. We’re still living our lives in a phenomenal disorientation — and the macho-paranoia of saving the grace of our affiliated political parties while always treating them as superior than others. Consequentially, the looters of Pakistan are safe on account of our choice.
The Ghairat Brigade — the people of Pakistan — and the incriminated politicians are, for the most part, still reluctant to accept that they’ve never been a part of corruption; they’ve never seek illegitimate personal gain through actions such as bribery, extortion, cronyism, nepotism, patronage, graft, and embezzlement. . If none of the politician robbed the nation — and I say again, if those politicians aren’t the troublemakers — then who did? A poltergeist very likely, no? If everyone is guiltless, then we can always be skeptical about a poltergeist. People missed this fact. This could be the case when Pakistan is concerned since the blame game is a favorite political game of Pakistani politicians, political activist, and the Ghairat Brigade i.e. awaam.
National Reconciliation Ordinance bestowed the would-never-come-again opportunity to our leaders; it bestowed them a license to loot once again. The flippancy of awaam should come to an end, besides. When will the Pakistanis get relieve from the corrupt apparatus? There’s a way out of this, I can see. That’s “Justice” — our Supreme Court. The ball is in the court of our judiciary and only judiciary can adjudicate the fate of the looters of the nation. We’ve strived hard for the freedom of judiciary for this day — to see the justice. Justice is all we want, we want to see a new system in Pakistan while penalizing by law the looters of nation. Chief Justice of Pakistan Mr. Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry, are you listening?
True, the ball is in the court of judiciary and its hightime to decide the fate of a considerable lot of politicians. Many times I have heard from the the frustrated Pakistanis that all politicians should be killed which is indeed an emotional and illogical demand but God has given this nation a chance to clean up the mess and bring back the country on right track. Its also laughable to see politicians acting innocent and find it surprising to see their names may be because they are habitual of indulging in heinous crimes with no investigation culture but this time things are different. Let’s see if this is the first step towards change. I agree most of the part of this article, a good write I must say!
Well written! Initiation has begun. Let’s see how events unfold.
As long as the act is not materialised and the beneficiaries are quizzed and taken to the task ,if proven guilty, then there is no point to issue such list and lets see whether the restoration of juidicary euphoria was valid or not.
No miracle will take place in Pakistan, corruption is a rule it will continue; only actors may change. Almost every one, who could lay hand, had been involved in corruption.Bribery, illegal possession of lands,involving in kidney trade, illegal use of official authority for personal gain and innumerous other crimes will remain flourishing in our society.
N R O is not a new thing, it had been promugated much before the elections were held.What will you say about those ,who knowingly that Mr Zrdari was a potential beneficiary of the N R O voted for him in the presidential elections.
N R O WAS A political agreement without it Benazir Bhutto, Nawaz sharif , Shahbaz Sharif could not come to Pakistan, lead their parties and take part in the elections, and very likely Gen. musharraf might have been still ruling the country without this political arrangement.
The country is facing a serious and direct threat towards its safety,integrity and in opinion of some, even its existence. The situation demands unity which we can achieve only, when we bury our differences for time being at least, it will strengthen our capability to counter the threat we are facing.
We cannot afford the luxury to waste our energies in discussing the Kerry Lugur law, N R O and such other things in the critical situation we are facing, instead should focus all our attention, efforts and energies to eliminate the terrorism otherwise it may creat a chaos, making our job still more difficult.The threats are real, and very serious, we must build a consensus against the enemy. Some segment of our society are in a state of confusion and have soft corner for the terrorists.Today´s tragic attack killing the innocent people while they were offeringprayer in the mosque should be suffient to open eyes of the confused people. Basharat.
