Paving the way for the General? —Taimur Malik

After the events of the last few years, the rejuvenated superior judiciary fully understands that not only is it responsible for the protection of the rights of the citizens of this country but it is also accountable to the same citizenry.

It is January 10th 2010, and Pakistan is once again ruled by a General. Under normal circumstances, the previous sentence may very well be the opening line of a fiction story. However, today it seems frighteningly close to a possibility bordering onto reality.

This fear of the known is in fact being propounded by the government of the day itself through its intentional and unintentional omissions and perhaps its sheer inability to handle the present security paradigm and onslaught of corruption charges against its leaders.

Among Sindhis, much of the debate on this topic is happening informally and on off-the-record forums as Sindhis find themselves torn between two opposing interests. On one hand the annulment of NRO has a potential to destroy the current leadership of PPP and hence eliminate what ever little say Sindhis have in the decision making process of Pakistan.
