@ Whoever concerns

The SC verdict pertaining to NRO will not morph into a corruption-free Parliament in the near future. In fact, there'll be alot more. Those who are not entitled under the NRO and its repercussions will consider themselves incorruptible. Nawaz Sharif swept majority of votes during his last in office. The so-called transparent elections made him realized nearly as Ameer ul Momineen. The fallout of the election was 'civil dictatorship' in the country.

NRO should be scrapped at once. The attitude of the court, however, is questionable. As I mentioned elsewhere that the court's ruling on the NRO was legally moral but morally illegal, for it will foster racism and fester the wounds of already provincialism in the country. I can't understand why Mr. Zardari is so much an eyesore for majority of punjabis since the days of his election to the presidency? Is it the cause that the office of the President was "earmarked" for mr sharif. Or is it because he wanted to curtail the punjabi-dominated military's power and wanted to bring 'em on par with their real job, i.e, on the borders! If so, he's probably reminding the army of their 'constitutional job' which goes like this as:

Article 244: (Oath) "I........, do solemnly swear that I will.....uphold the constitution (are you kidding).....(and) that I will not engage myself in any political activities whatsoever (say that again).

Such is the oath that every army personnel before commencement of his duties. Moreover, the Quaid has something very categorical to say on 14 August, 1947:

"Do not forget that the armed forces are the servants of the people and you do not make national policy; it is we, the civilians, who decide these issues and it is your duty to carry out these tasks with which you are entrusted".

Now what is the question of army or isi putting any question before the civilians when they tend to forge friendly relations with India with Kashmir on the backburner? Why the PM was forced to withdraw from it notification way back after Mumbai carnage putting isi under the interior ministry? Where is the supreme court now? Why there is such an immunity to the "NAB ZAADAS" as punjab law minister put it?
