The writing is on the wall for Pervez Musharraf. The only thing undecided is if he will go on his own volition or will he be eased out. So the question now is, who will they agree to nominate as the next President of Pakistan?
Anyone remembers Justice Rafiq Tarar? The guy who dashed off to Quetta on a government plane in the middle of the night to twist the Balochistan High Court at the behest of Abbaji. Yes, the same Rafiq Tarrar who claims he is still the President of Pakistan?
And if we are not in a mood for a flowing beard then there are other options not in any particular order.
Iftikhar Chaudhry
Zardari has reservations about restoring him to the bench and Sharif has made his restoration the cornerstone of his campaign. Both are agreed on judicial reforms, so the best compromise would be to ease him into Presidency. vakil bhee khush, quam bhee khush.
Aitezaz Ahsan
He is articulate, respected, intelligent, and in the forefront since March 09, 2007. And while Asif Zardari consolidates himself in PPPP what better way than to kick him upstairs?
Imran Khan
The poor fellow does not have a constituency, but has lots of passion and rhetoric. Him minus 58 -2(b) would be a good combination.
Asif Zardari
He is not a graduate, not a member of this assembly and needs to gain his spurs in politics after the sad assassination of Benazir Bhutto. From the top he can keep a better eye on dissent within PPPP. If he accepts, he would like to have the 58-2-(b) danda handy.
Nawaz Sharif
He is barred from becoming the Prime Minister and is not a member of this Assembly. He has been the Premier of Punjab and Prime Minister of Pakistan twice. And if he accepts the Presidency he would also like to have the 58-2-(b) around just in case.
So who is your choice?
Note: Temporal blogs at Baithak.
We should have a “Presedential System”, only then we can throw some names and decide to vote that who should be the president.
I am all for the Presedential form of government in future for Pakistan. .
with 58-2B destined for the dust bin, a person having no political ambitions like Justice Iftikhar can be a very good choice. with this clause in place, a person even like Chourdy Fazle Ilahi will be like ‘Allah Meharban tou Gadha Pehelwan’
the only and the one IMRAN KHAN.because he is the great personality not only in pakistan but all overe the world.he is the leader who lead pakistan properly.
Read few posts and i think here are my choices
Rana Bhagwandas : People want him BUT TO TELL YOU he cCANNOT become a president of Pakistan coz of being NON MUSLIM! to be a President you need to eb MUSLIM. Otherwise hes a good choice.
Aetizaz Ahsan: very learned man in wrong ranks! he is a good choice, but he has a volatile nature as well but that u need to have for an efefctive president. Him minus 58-B is a great choice.
Imran Khan can be a PM for a national govt but not president. Rest NS and IC are not worth it!
I think Musharaff minus 58-2-(b) is a better choice than lawyers, judges or the politicians you mentioned. Why not give chance to the finalist of DawnNews’ ‘Enter The PM’ Asad Umar!
