Blah Blah from The TeaBreak Team.

The azaad adliya has summoned the former president/dictator/COAS Gen. (retd) Pervez Musharraf to defend his November 3 actions. This was to be expected, and in one of my blog posts in the aftermath of Musharraf’s resignation I called for his fair trial. I support the decision to bring him to courts. But would it be fair? There is a big question mark. Assuming for a minute that Musharraf appears in the court (which is highly unlikely), what will the CJP ask him? “How dare you sack me?” The big word here is ME! This is more like the affected party being the judge. In fact it is exactly the case. So my first reservation on this case is whether or not this will turn into a personal vendetta.

I follow JANG newspaper despite it being a highly biased one but it does cover a wide range of news in Pakistan. I read today that a team is getting ready to encircle Musharraf in Britain. First of all, this is more like the Imran-Altaf game we have seen earlier. Second, and more important, the team is headed by the one and only Lord Nazeer Ahmed. Who is he? Well, the title says he is a British MP who loves to poke his nose in Pakistan’s affairs. Seriously, what is his business in Pakistan? In my 10-month stay in London so far I have never ever seen a newspaper or channel covering the likes of Lord Nazeer. Apparently, he is more famous in Pakistan. Our media (a part of it) loves him, but then they should also love Richard Holbrooke in that way because Lord Nazeer is no different. Naam se koi Pakistani nai hojata!!

Abid Sher Ali of PML-N, famous for exposing the Dogar Daughter marks case, has expressed his views that Pervez Musharraf should be hanged. I agree on the condition that Nawaz Sharif must take the lead.

Another ardent writer , famous for spying activities, (yeah Ansar Abbasi) wrote that the top brass of army has somehow told him that they will remain neutral in this case. I really respect the passion of Abbasi when he writes against Musharraf, but then he should register for a blog and write his own views there. Anyway, I highly doubt this claim. The army will never back away from its former chief. This is more like Abbasi’s own wish.

And lastly, this case could not have come at a better time for the government. An attempt will be made to hype up the proceedings and divert attention from more pertinent issues – as usual.
