Sir the much needed revolution will come in Pakistan when there will be normal folks who come out on the streets as their felt need. There will be no leader but the distress and pain that people are going through. Till you have ‘leaders’ leading the ‘long march’, there will be no desired result. These long marches have a negative effect because the inevitable people revolution will be delayed.

Anand,
This guy ( the PM) in his previous job as an Energy Minister stole millions of dollars in corruption. The case against him was filed in 2009 and this is the verdict of the that case. No one is above the law and thats what has happened to him. Wouldn’t the great Mr.Gandhi practice the same ? And BTW, in countries where sanity prevails, such people resign on just being accused. He not only held on to his office, but got a promotion and kept on sucking the blood of the innocent.

Tahiri should have gone for a million march against Talibans and FATA or gone to Quetta or Karachi instead of taking a right step at a wrong time. He should put he energy in convincing voters to vote for pious people.

I am surprised, you omitted an important factor – what is president Zardari doing in Karachi for last 3-4 weeks while Islamabad is the focus of attention ? Every time country faces crisis, he is off to Karachi or Dubai.

I think the newspaper’ job is to “report” incidences not to take “sides”. The article being published from “the newspaper” presents, its prejudices and biaseness. This could have very well been published as a blog entry, by an ind or multiple authors (being named)

Sir, someone can help me to find out whether in any other country at any time, the supreme has ordered the arrest of a constitutionally elected head of a legal government. Is this order unique in Pakistan or it keeps on happening all round the world?
Thanks

Hope that this time antidemocratic forces will be frustrated and democratic rule will continue.

The editorial has put it nicely in the present circumstances the correct approach to talk because all want a really honest elections so the opposition must press for this as soon as possible. The corrupt must be given punishment and must not be allowed to come back in parliament.
