    I am sure soon there is going to be a forward blobk within PPP, may be headed by Amin Fahim. I feel sorry for Aitzaz though, he is in a really diffcult situation.

    i urge PML(N) that please make some big decisions…only Resignations from Federal Cabinet is not enough..PML (N) should bring resolution and expose PPP/MQM and others who stand against restoration of judges ..in that way real stance of ANP will be clear also…

    second PML (N) should support lawyers movement openly…theyshould not be a collaborator of zaradri behind the curtains…

    i have no doubt about sincerity of NS but i have my doubts about his courage to make big decisions…

    we want Musharraf out and CJ restored

    Respectable members of PPP like Aitzaz Ahsan, Raza Rabbani, Makhdoom Amin should immediately leave the party.

    I wonder if PPP members would have anything left to say now, except their shahadats and qurbania’s…

    Nawaz Shariff is the only one who can show middle finger to Americans and do what is best for Pakistan, as he proved this in 1998.

    If PML-N stays united, than general elections are just around the corner, and this will ensure the end of zardari the snake!

    Well done NS!

    Being sad on one side for the break down of the colition I am happy that NS is not taking emotional steps (for example even giving up Punjab gov or giving harsh remarks against PPP). I think this slow pressure will work. NS has also wisely said that I hope that civil society and students will second him in restoration of the judges but he did not say so about the LAWYERS which will be his next card. I feel PPP will soon come to knees as preparing budget for them is also difficult and as it ll not be a people friendly budget so they definetly need backing from PMLN at that point both in term of support and expertise.

    excellent decision. atleast now no one can say that Nawaz didnt give the traitor P-League a chance. Nawaz Sharif should whole-heartedly join the lawyers movement now against the Mush-P-League govt. bring these b*stards down, elections are just round the corner. now is the time for that big march to the Army House that aitzaz had been talking about(dont know whether he has been castrated already by 10% or not). im sure the army jawans wont show the beghairati of firing at the crowds, but if they do then its the start of the revolution, which is also a good thing. the media is the best thing that ever happened to Pakistan, otherwise we would have been going round in the same suicidal circles that we have been going through for the past 60 years. army, corrupt politicans, shahadats, army, corrupt politicians, army, shahadats, return of mr 10%…..

    good job….
    I am beginning to think that within PPP there are two pressure points…
    One is led by Rahman Malik and Naik perhaps with some consent from Zardari. The other is not led by anyone but cosnists of people such as Raza Rabbani, Sherry Rahman and others. This is somewhat like the US Establishment having hawks and doves. I have no doubt that those who supported the CJ moment till late last year could not just turn around and now become anti-restoration. But they are finding themeselves, perhaps, in even more difficult situation than A Ahsan. If you are of lesser standing, party line - even if personally unacceptable - become important.
    NS’s action and sustained pressure from civil society will help strengthen this other group and weaken Rahman Malik and Co through which, I think, the Presidency is working.

    Although it was a big disappointment that Zardai failed to restore judges,
    Howver, he has exposed himself and his backdoor deeds. The best thing came out of this disappointment is the some one in Pakistan stood for principle. Nawaz Sharif & PML-N need our appreciation and the help of all Pakistanis to foil the evil designs of conspirators and their external masters.

    It is good step by Nawas Sharif and a blow to so called national reconciliation. I believe PPP believed that Nawas Sharif is just building pressure and will not like to loose the share in the government. Now that he has made his move PPP will have to take PMLN’s stand seriously. Losing PMLN, PPP will not be able to rest in peace. The real problems will start now. It will be interesting to see that how PPP will solve the problems of employment, electricity and food shortage with their new love MQM.

    I think, the TV anchors should press PPP on one point: Why are they so eager to keep the current judges? They must push the PPP leaders on this point.
    The isuse is important and should be linked to the status of the Musharraf’s dismissal of SC on November 3. If that act was illegal, automatically the current judges become illegal. Why then insist of keeping these judges?
    There are four types of SC judges currently on the scene:
    1. Those who need to be restored
    2. Those who were judges on Nov. 2 and took oath under PCO
    3. Those who were promoted from High Court
    4. Those who were brought back from retirement

    If Nov. 3 act was illegal, the category 4 should go back to their retirement and category 3 back to the High Court. That leaves only category 2 and 1 and they form the Sc as it was on Nov.2.

    I am aware that some anchors come to visit this site, I am requesting them to press PPP leadership on this point with the kind of data I am suggesting.

    Well done PML-N.
    Aitzaz is getting too much idealist and emotional about PPP. He should bear in mind it is not Bhutto’s PPP now. This PPP is nothing more then a mafia of dacoits and oppertunists being headed by Zardari. So, even though it will be hard for him to break-away from his loyalty, Aitzaz should get out of PPP (if he doesn’t forsee any revolution within PPP). Afterall, it’s not people or groups/parties per se, it is the agenda/manifesto/principles that one needs to be loyal with. Who asks Aitzaz to leave those principles (the lost treasure) laid down by the great Bhutto. I think today’s PPP is an insult to Bhutto and the persons like Aitzaz, Raza Rabbani, Amin Faheem (and all kick-out good guys) should make sincere efforts to rescue Bhutto’s PPP from these sons of …..

    @ibnrazi : “I am aware that some anchors come to visit this site, I am requesting them to press PPP leadership on this point with the kind of data I am suggesting.”

    Very good points and a noble thought, but the problem is that Peoples Party “Leaders” start their “raNDi rona” every time they are asked questions that require honesty and incidentally unmask their monumental hypocrisy.

    So, we can expect “ShaheedooN ki PaaRtee”, “Shaheed Bhutto ki qurbani”.. “Panch lashaeN GhaRi Khuda Bakkhsh..” .. LasheN LaaSheN .. maut.. shaheed.. blah blah.. but NO Straight Answer to the questions the Nation is asking.

    In my personal opinion, NS is no more than an opportunist , just like Zardari.
    Why should we hate Zardari?
    And why on earth should we love NS?

    Zardari is doing what he is supposed to do. Is it difficult to observe that while Zardari is staging the drama of “bhai-chara” with NS, his cases are being written off due NRO. Why on earth would he go against Musharaf. He has been brought back to help Musharaf and we’ll see in coming days that he WILL do that.

    NS has never been a brave leader. He ran away when he saw several years of jail in front of him and came back due the same NRO which benifitted Zardari. NS knew from the very first day that this is not his election, so he chose to invest on the next one and high jacked the lawyers movement. Now he is trying to win our sympathies for next elections.

    We do not need likes of NZ or AZ. We need a REAL leader. A leader like Mao Tse-Tung, a leader like M.A. Jinnah, a leader like Mahathir bin Mohamad. Pakistan has no future without a new leader. I am hoping to live long enough to see such a leader in Pakistan. Because these leaders we have, they can not give us something as they do not have spare time from looting us.

Although I strongly recommend that Aitezaz should quit PP and join hands with Nawaz,,, I wish People of Pakistan could prove a bit more tolerant to the menaces spread by musharaf ,esp the elect and flour thing, and have more voice on the streets to kick this bastard out of the presidency or army house, where evrer he is hiding and conspiring against this nation. And I’m sure that people who voted for the shaheedon ki party would be cursing the fateful day when Zardari acquired the hot seat of destroying the country,,, and is now in full concurrence with Fuckinn’ US through Rehan Malik, Hussein Haqqani and F H Naik. May allah strengthen this nation to have mercy on this country and rid them of those bastards who’ve made us look like majboors…….

    As much as I like the stance taken by the PML-N, I am not sure what to expect now.

    Isn’t it turning out to be a win-win for establishment? Chances are that PPP is bracing itself for a backlash from media and lawyers (perhaps PML-N will stay low in coming days). If PPP is able to counter the lawyer movement well and good and if not, that will be even better for the establishment. Establishment has us fighting with an elected parliament within few weeks of its inception - it is like dream come true for them

    Mian Sahab is playing a Media Game and trying to be a hero and want to show PPP as Villon
    but PPP has alway made decision which PPP think are right irrespective what the Media says.

    PPP was against Jihadies when all the media was supporting them in 80s and 90s.
    PPP was pro-India when all the media was anti-India
    PPP didnt thought Afghan war as Jihad when all Pakistani Media was saying its as a Holy war.

    PPP was against General Muhammad Zia Ul Haq when Media was portraying him as Merd-e-momin.

    so PPP does what it think is right not what media says is right

    for those criticising AA…..and asking him to leave PPP…..please leave him alone. if he doesnt want to leave PPP its his choice…….by him sticking with PPP at least we can say there is at least one person in the ruling party who has dignity and respect and is sincere with the nation…..and he therefore may be able to provide guidance (which is badly needed!) to PPP ‘leadership’ which currently consists of one teenager and two others (AZ and RM) with mental age of a teenager!

    @R.Z.Waraich

    I have not read all the mails and hence perhaps someone has already responded to you…

    first, a factual error…NS did not come back to the country on NRO…in fcat, you may recall he was flown back on September 10th.
    - as a side comment, perhaps many Chinese would disagree with you with regard to called Mao a great leader…

    second, I appreciate your sentiments about finding a great leader. But my friend how is such a leader found? Lets take Jinnah, he did not come out of nowhere. A long list of leaders - big and small - preceded and accompanied him. Leaders emerge through a process.
    It si true that Zardari and NS are not ideal leaders…but if we allow the democratic process to continue, over time better leaders will emerge and in time another great leader my appear…

    the whoel tragedy of Pakistan has been that the democratic process was never allowed to continue. Few yeras of civilian rule and then a long military rule. An example is to think of a child learning to walk. When a child learns to walk, s/he falls, gets hit and so on…but parents let all thsi happen and soon child learns to walk properly. If everytime the child falls the parents were to pick him up and not allow his to learn, the child would not be walking even at the age of 60. This is exactly what has happened in Pkaistan.

    Finally, what has military rule given to Pakistan? Out of the 60 yeras, military has ruled for 36 years. So if you are angry with leaders, please show it more towards military than towards civilains.

    so, my friend, I request you to think beyond individuals and in ‘now and here’…think institutionally and historically…

    The unpopular decisions that PPP took in the past were inine with its left-of-the-centre leanings. It may be that media and establishment was not gung-hu about those decisions but the PPP cadre can relate to the wisdom of those decision. What PPP has done now is difficult to absorb even after given all the benefits of doubt to the PPP leadership.

    it is a sad day for pakistan but i salute NS for his committment with the nation, PPP will definitely say that it was wrong for NS to leave the cabinet at such a crucial stage as the budget is to be prsented next month. However, i personally believe that zardari and PPP and to blame for this nonsense.

    It was absolutely ridiculous on his part to go relax in dubai due to personal reasons when the 30 day deadline was approaching…one needs to ask him that what was a bigger issue to resolve..personal or a promise made to the whole nation..

    NS and his team chased him in dubai to hear what…12 more days of waiting…what did PPP do in these 12 days??

    the reality is that PPP did not respect NS, SS and PMLN…if they respected them then their law minister would not have made all the statements of postponement in the deadline hours after NS has announced it…

    NS only fault is that he should have understood it long ago that Zaradari is too big of a thief to restore the judiciary…no offence but PPP has shown its real character as well…

    If you think that PPP will restore the Judges then you are living in a dream world.
    AZ came home with NRO. All his cases have been withdrawn. Malik Q and Mush still in office.
    PPP had more than 2 months to do it but they didnt. All delaying tactics.

    This is not 1970’s or the 80 or the 90’s. No Bhutto is in power to bring out the people.

    After BB’s death PPP should have got 2/3rd majority but it didnt, why because if PPP had taken a stand on the Judges issue they would have gotten 2/3rd.

    On the other hand NS had only a few week to prepare and but he made a principal stand on the Judges issue, so PML(N) got seats, more than anyone expected.

    People may eat one day and remain hungry on another but they do not receive Justice at all.

    NS has made the right choice. He has taken a principled position like in 1998.
