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!
ADDED 14 March: Here is the video clip of the report on this incident on GEO.
(Report on this in The News).
“I did not hear the parts where Zafar accussed Ansar Abbasi this way”

So dont you think your post on your blog need another appendix :)?
“Throughout the dinner their respective handlers were coaching them how to deliver a short speech in English”
I was never into pets but I like it.
BTW, here are the news items our honorable law minister was referring to…

There is no shortage of men like the law minister in Pakistan. Once I had the misfortune of sharing a table with Mr. ShahBaz Shariff (brother of ex-prime minister) and Mr. Ijaz-ul-Huq (son of a former general-president) at a dinner in Washington D.C. Both were scheduled speakers at the event. Throughout the dinner their respective handlers were coaching them how to deliver a short speech in English to an American audience. This incident gave me an opportunity to observe the low educational and intellectual level of the two gentlemen. One has served as a chief minister of Punjab in a civilian government and the other is currently serving as minister of religious affairs in the present military government. There seems to be a very little difference in the demeanor of all these gentlemen. That they are the leaders of Pakistan speaks volumes about our society and even about ourselves individually.
This person, ‘Wasi Zafer’ seems to be a choora (sweeper) from his language. Who made him minsiter? oh, well the person who made him minster is actually Busharraf. Naam hee kaafee hay. Traitors.
