Institutional clashes - (Part 2)
May be some friends and readers remember my post ‘Institutional clashes’. This post is the second part of that post. Media discussing a lot about collision of government and Supreme Court and both know public is with supreme court of Pakistan. As government does not want to open cases on SC’s order and taking breath from review petition in SC. PPP has a declining public popularity, which will effect PPP’s position in next election. Media got huge chance to shout on government about SC’s order implementation but I think people don’t remember the statement of PM Mr. Gilani that ‘How we can open cases on our president?’
Recently NRO’s rejection order of SC changed the political situation. Now government repeatedly needs to say that ‘We have excellent relations with Judiciary’. Why this statement came to hear again and again? This statement came because there is a high internal confrontation between government and judiciary.
Stability can be brought in Pakistan by fulfilling the commitments from government side. But government has a stand that president cannot leave the office due to cases because of presidential immunity that is given by the constitution of Pakistan. The example of our president’s situation is like a man who is in bullet proof glass box and firing is going on outside and at some time that man has to come out of the glass box and choose his new way to proceed.

Masood’s Focus
These days media got hot issue of detailed judgement of NRO announced by supreme court and ordered government to reopen all swiss cases and other cases made by previous governments. I got a chance to see Mr. Shahid Masood’s program ‘Mere Mutabik on GEO TV continuously for 2 weeks and come to know that there is an article ‘190’ in Constitution of Pakistan which says or means ‘Supreme court has the power to call army for enforcement of decisions if government does not owner court’s order’.
Mr. Masood’s program triggered this debate of article 190. Now different political anchors want from there guests to talk about article 190 of Constitution of Pakistan. Media is representing people’s though as people did not want Mr. Asif Ali Zardari as President of Pakistan and somehow his eligibility to be a president is on stake. Now people of Pakistan are audience and government and Supreme Court are on stage and performing their acts. Time is near where major changes and decisions will be made.
Pray for Pakistan!

As per our US relations experience Pakistani nation is very concerned about it. Besides what government of Pakistan’s foreign policy is, masses of Pakistan never accepted USA and they have solid reasons for that. History tells us after soviet afghan war USA left afghan-Pakistan alliance and revised its foreign policy. Now after almost one decade USA again made Pakistan as major alley. Pakistan had to bear a lot for this. No doubts due to our internal problems like bad government and corruption we could not utilize US’s aid in all times. Then again point comes to that problem of huge crises of leadership in Pakistan. I always write, this crises is the biggest one and only be produced purely by Pakistani people. Why don’t we choose right people?
True Pakistani leaders could achieve a lot from US cooperation. One of the major lacking point of ex president musharraf was that he never used USA for betterment of people and in strategic and economic sectors. Experts say that USA contributes technology, strategic empowerment and research with India and loans, aids and defense material with Pakistan. It’s totally unfair!
I always quote the quotation of an American author and professor of business management department of University of southern California. He differentiate Manager and Leader as ‘Managers are the people who do things right, and Leaders are the people who do right things’ .
So, our leaders of next 10 years whoever they are and will be, must think that tale of slippery fish can be slipped from hand at any time. Friends can become enemies without giving any indication. Beware of those changes that are waiting to happen!
