I don’t know if any other apex court anywhere in the world has ever rendered such an asinine judgement.
Imagine that lots of voters may be voting for a candidate who is – it might turn out – not eligible to contest the Presidential elections in the first place. Don’t the voters deserve to know ahead of polling if certain candidates are ineligible so they could choose to vote for someone else?
Is it a congenital condition that prevents us from taking the obvious correct decisions? Must we always insist on grabbing the nose around the ears instead of directly reaching for it?
Would the heavens have collapsed if the SC stayed the election until it could be determined who is eligible and who is not?
So, what is the Supreme Cour saying now and what does it mean? They say, hold teh elections but don’t announce the results… is this just preparing for later when they will say, well now the elctions are done so lets just accept them!
While All Things Pakistan has remained alive and online, it has been dormant since June 11, 2011 - when, on the blog's 5th anniversary, we decided that it was time to move on. We have been heartened by your messages and the fact that a steady traffic has continued to enjoy the archived content on ATP.
While the blog itself will remain dormant, we are now beginning to add occasional (but infrequent) new material by the original authors of the blog, mostly to archive what they may now publish elsewhere. We will also be updating older posts to make sure that new readers who stumble onto this site still find it useful.
We hope you will continue to find ATP a useful venue to reflect upon and express your Pakistaniat. - Editors
So glad I stumbled upon this.
you guys are the bomb
I think it was high time the Army itself took action against Musharaf. If not, then they should expect more disdain from the masses.
