Asif Ali Zardari Is No More Corrupt Than Nawaz Sharif Or Choudhrys Of Gujarat - Why Pakistan Must Give Democracy A Chance?

By Sikander Hayat


Why is everyone so hell bent on removing a democratically elected president by any means possible. Is it not the job of the people of Pakistan to decide after another three years to give their verdict on the performance of this president. Zardari has made mistakes but has spent eleven years in jail and nothing has been proved against him yet. Please give democracy a chance so that people from Sindh, NWFP and Balochistan can keep their trust in the federation. PML (N) & PML (Q), both Punjabi dominated parties, are asking for Zardari's resignation on moral grounds but what about houses in Park Lane London and businesses in Spain.
Now Nawaz Sharif is trying to pretend that he is the cleanest person in Pakistan. They are all corrupt but it is only the job of the people to tell who should be running the country. I am not a fan of Zardari, I know that he is president because all notable Bhutto’s are dead but I cannot second guess the choice of Pakistani people.
Army, if it is putting pressure on Zardari to resign, must back off or there will be dire consequences for the future of Pakistan.
Pakistan is as much a home for Sindhis, Blochis and Pathans as it of Punjabis. Leave it that way and respect the democratic mandate given to Pakistan Peoples Party by the people of Pakistan.

Is morality applicable to just people from smaller provinces. What about the morality of Nawaz Sharif's attack on the Supreme Court of Justice Sajjad Ali Shah? What about the morality of looting of Mehran Bank? What about the morality of creation of IJI to stop Benazir from gaining two third majority? What about the morality of creation of Q league? What about the morality of judicial murder of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto? I can go on for ever but lets not pretend that anything PLM (N) is doing has anything to do with morality.
Only real democracy and continuous democracy can make Pakistan stronger and completion of PPP’s term in Parliament is a must for that to happen.

India: The Terrorists Within

A day after major Indian cities were placed on high alert following blasts in the IT city of Bangalore, as many as 17 blasts ripped through Ahmedabad, capital of the affluent western Indian state of Gujarat . Some 30 people were killed, some at hospitals where bombs were timed to go off when the injured from other blasts were being brought in. (Later, in Surat, a center for the world's diamond industry, a bomb was defused near a hospital and two cars packed with explosives were found in in the city's outskirts.) Investigators pointed fingers at the usual Islamist suspects: Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), Bangladesh- based Harkat-ul Jihadi Islami (HUJI) and the indigenous Students' Islamic Movement of India (SIMI). But even as the police searched for clues, the Ahmedabad attacks were owned up by a group calling itself the " Indian Mujahideen. " Several TV news stations received an email five minutes before the first blasts in Ahmedabad. The message repo
