Dear Mr. Zardari Restore Judges Now

Dear Mr. Zardari,

I am sick and tired of you –and all your party stalwarts- constantly drumming into our ears your ideas about the supremacy of The Parliament. I have yet to hear you talk so forcefully about the supremacy of The Constitution or even of the supremacy of The People as the Bhutto’s used to do .More over you even flout your own so fondly repeated slogan by continuing to take every meaningful decision outside the parliament !

What may I ask was so wrong with roti, kapra aur makan slogan given by Shaheed Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto? Has it become so impossible to achieve that you conveniently discarded it and adopt the hallow and patently false one you now profess? What is Parliament except a reflection and representative of the people who elected it –and pledged to uphold The Constitution of Pakistan as reflected in that will. Where in this entire concept do you see a supremacy of Parliament? We need to remind you –for you and your party seems to have forgotten - that the Parliament is subservient to the Constitution and a servant of the people. Read more

Musharraf — next 72 hours critical

Kayani may be asked to play role : Musharraf — next 72 hours critical

* President wants to stay in Pakistan with protocol, benefits and indemnity after resignation
* Ruling coalition wants Musharraf to quit before it tables impeachment resolution in National Assembly

By Zulfiqar Ghuman

ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) believes that if President Pervez Musharraf does not resign within the next 72 hours –before the process of his impeachment begins –the political crisis will deepen, a senior PPP leader told Daily Times.

He said President Musharraf was expected to quit within 72 hours. “If he continues to stick to his position and does not resign, it will create a situation leaving the government with no option but to ask the army chief to intervene and help resolve the political crisis,” he said.

Another source also confirmed that the PPP-led coalition was likely to approach Chief of Army Staff General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani to negotiate a deal between President Musharraf and the four-party ruling coalition to end the political impasse in the country.

“General Kayani will be asked to intervene, if the president does not show flexibility,” the source said. It has also been learnt that President Musharraf is not ready to accept any thing short of ‘honourable’ stay in Pakistan with full presidential protocol and benefits with legal cover to his actions in case of his resignation.

The coalition partners on the other side, despite their internal differences, want Musharraf to quit before they submit a resolution in the National Assembly.

“The coalition partners are also ready to let Musharraf go to a country of his choice, at least for the time being,” another source said.

Though the coalition enjoys comfortable numerical strength to oust the president through impeachment, efforts are being made that he resigns before the initiation of the impeachment process. These sources also believe that President Musharraf’s is banking on the army and his foreign friends, especially the Unites States and the United Kingdom. “The president is confident that they will not let him down to face a humiliating ouster at the hands of the political parties.”

Meanwhile, Presidential Spokesman Rashid Qureshi denied the president intended to resign in the next few days. “The recent spate of news reports and rumours being spread that President Pervez Musharraf is resigning are totally baseless and malicious,” he said. He said such “unsubstantiated reports” were hurting Pakistan’s economy.
