The Supreme Court has spoken. And spoken loudly. The NRO, they say, is null and void. What they do not say – and should not, since it is not in their mandate – is what should happen now to all that was unfolded as a result of the NRO. That is for politics to decide.
So, we thought in this latest ATP Poll we would ask you, our readers, what yo think should happen.
It was a little difficult to come up with what the options are so we based these on the comments on our recent NRO post. Do please tell us which of these options you would want and why. Do also feel welcome to add other options in the comments section; but don’t let that keep you from voting on these ones.
All those who are bajao baghleiN at the SC decision shackling the current govt, should watch these revelations on Najam Sethi Special dated Dec. 19/09:

Good post and very good poll. Like the options you make and am heartened by the responses also. The main thing is that teh process should be followed and military should not use this to overthrow govt.
AMIN GHANI, teh conspiracies are only in our minds. Lets grow up please.

Excellent poll. I like the way you have framed the options and frankly I am impressed by the maturity of the respondents. We all want corruption stopped and the guilty punished but we do not want to derail democracy in the process.
