I was watching the dramatic developments regarding Chief Justice of Pakistan’s case on GEO news today and wondering how much more we have to see after seeing police misbehaving with Chief Justice and his family.
Little did I know what was in store for me. During Kamran Khan’s show, Ansaar Abassi – investigative editor of The News, Islamabad – brought viewers attention to a shocking incident which happened during a live Voice of America ( VOA ) radio show interview (Round Table) yesterday (Listen by clicking audio symbol below)

Not surprisingly, it involves our Law Minister, Mr. Wasi Zafar. We have often read various reports about public displays of misbehaviors by Federal Minister for Law Wasi Zafar. But this is quite unbelievable.
Listen to the abusive language after the 34th minutes in particular. But also listen to the tone of the discussion of the entire interview in general. This, then, is our Federal Law Minister in action. Its worth hearing.
The Federal Minister said all this in response to a story by the investigative editor The News in which he wrote about the Law Minister’s “long arm of law.” Apparently he doesn’t know the difference between long arm and giving “a big hand.”
Listen to the clip and judge for yourself. I am just speechless!

[...] Ansar Abbasi brought forth allegations against Chief Justice Iftikhar Choudhray for gross misconduct in 2002, accusing him for admitting his Son Dr. Arsalan to FIA undermining all merits. For details, see this post on ATP [...]
I have just heard this after 2 years it has been posted on this site.
I now believe that now the present day has proved that what ever Musharraf did at that time was absolutely right.
We made this into a very confusing story then in 2007 and 2008, it was a simple reference from the President’s office and it should have been followed.
The Supreme court should have taken its course then and the Chief Justice Iftiqar should have let the proceedings take its time.
Its very sad that Mr. Iftiqar has made our Country Pakistan go back 20 years. He was actually the person which pressurized Musharraf to take up decision of NRO etc.
Long Live Pakistan and i hope that Mr. Iftiqar should face his charges.

This is the first time in my life when i feel ASHAMED of being a Pakistani.
I have been a staunch supporter of musharraf for quite a while but after witnessing this shameful episode, I hope history repeats itself and musharraf meets the same fate as Zia ul haq.
