Parliament Vs Judiciary; History Repeats Itself

Following is the brief contrast of events following 9th march and events following the Chief Justice dogar’s daughters story.

Since  Ansaar Abbsi first broke the news of Chief Justice Dogar daughter’s increase in numbers in rechecking, there seems an old tussle growing up again. We all remember on what factors Musharraf erupted 9th March 07 and what was the behavior of government after Chief Justice got restored on July 20. Following the events since this news broke out one clearly remembers the events of post 9th march,07.

It is rightly said”History repeats itself” and history is repeating itself . There were politicians blaming a chief justice and there are politicians calling for Chief Justice resignation but the faces has changed. Most people agree that Dogar was never a man to become a Chief Justice of this country and he never could if the dark evening of Nov,3 07 hasn’t approached.

It is heartening to know for some of us that Standing Committee on Education took this matter ,otherwise, if there have been a military ruler ,the results might have ben very different and mass agitation on roads might have caused some troubles for any government in charge. We are seeing wha is actually the difference between a military government and a democratic government.

If we see the role of government in all this scenario, it looks awkward, government is supporting Chief Justice and surely government cant stop proceedings of House Committee. The government must take some clear stand as far as this matter is concerned and establish rule of law and not become partial in any sense.

Some circles are predicting the solution of Judiciary is soon going to take place and deputy Attorney general has just said yesterday”The case of restoration of Judiciary is soon going to be solved” , some people are predicting that the retirement of Chief Justice Dogar in March might bring some good news for lawyers movement and there may be some unexpected decisions from government side.

Common Bushie; After All Its Your FareWell

Mr.Bush gets a great farewell in Iraq when a journalist throwed shoe twice at Bush which he ducked successfully.

On his surprise farewell visit to Iraq Bush deserves those surprise gift from Al-Baghdadia TV correspondent who might not have great throw but he made our attention how heinous Yankees can be and its exactly what they deserve.

Bush remarked joking”it was size 10″all i can report. Journalist shouted after this “This is a farewell kiss,you dog”.

This may not be happiest moment in Bush’s Presidency but this is an expression that people want U.S forces out from iraq as soon as possible.

President Elect Obama have already pledged to end Iraq war but this is a good lesson for him as well because his focus on Afghanistan might cause to happen same with him in Afghanistan.

Obama  should also sought a way to get out of Afghanistan as soon as possible at least in his 2nd term if not first. Americans have done far more crimes and murders in Afghanistan than in Iraq.

Bush might have learned a great lesson from this incident and perhaps never visit Iraq again in his life time.

Patras Bokhari;Citizen Of The World 50 Years ON

Patras Bokhari was a writer,diplomat’s diplomat , teacher ,a representative and a fabulous administrator.

Dec,5,08 was his 50th death anniversary passed quietly and no paper and no Tv gave it a space in his news column or news bulletin. It is great shame for all of us that we didn’t remember such a great man of our country.

Patras Bokhari did his matriculation in 1912 and after doing B.Sc in Physics from Government college Patras done masters in English Literature and achieved gold medal and he achieved the same from Cambridge as well.

A man of flawless eloquence and endurance served as Pakistan’s first envoy to Unites Nations.

His speech may not as fiery as Bhutto but most rational and full of arguments. Once Sir Gladwyn Jebb ,famous for his speech considered only second to Sir Winston Churchill was arguing to Patras at U.N ,after long arguments Bokhari said ” We are all proud of Common wealth of which both my country and yours are member ,Sir Gladwyn is calling me a tortoise and himself a rabbit but i am proud to say that if ostriches are found in Britain they are not found in my country”. This brought Sir Gladwyn to his knees and said”Sir ,i confess defeat ,you are diplomats diplomat”.

Bokhari was also famous for his wit and some people argue if he had not been assigned the task of U.N ,his writings would have made great addition to Urdu literature.

Last December witnessed a landmark tribute to Patras Bokhari when Government College University launched a Web Site of Bokhari WWW.PATRASBOKHARI.COM which is fully updated web site and contain every thing about Bokhari.

Bokhari suffered first heart attack in 1953 after which he became very weak and Patras Bokhari died on Dec,5,08 and laid to rest in New york.
