IT seems the government has made alterations in Justice Baqar Najafi’s report.

The report was released on the government website in the evening. I think Dr Qadari’s threat worked this time. Why was the government hiding this report? The government rightly decided to waive its option to appeal against the orders of the division bench of the Lahore High Court.

The report has added to troubles for Rana Sanaulla. The chief minister has requested for time on the law minister’s resignation as demanded by the Braveli group.

The picture is becoming clearer now. It is a win-win situation for the people of Pakistan.We must appreciate the landmark decision of the court to have the report released.
