How can people make comments without even knowing any facts. He is the best choice for attorney general. Why?
1) He is one of the best advocates in this country.
2) He led the movement against the dictatorship of Pervez Musharaf and fought fiercely for the judiciary.
3) He is the reason we got the democracy back.
4) He risked his life for this country at numerous occasions. During the lawyers movement, he was tortured and imprisoned due to which his organs almost failed. His house was attacked with gunfire to scare him but he was determined for his cause.
Who else can be a better candidate for this position ?????

Who cares about consensus in Pakistan? Business as usual is the norm.
