One more example of politicians’ stark failure to go by the book and run
the business of the state smoothly was their inability to resolve the judicial
crisis in accordance with their promises with the nation. The Army Chief’s
no so covert role in impressing upon the PPP-led government the need of
restoring the Chief Justice and other sacked judges of the Supreme Court
thereby stalling the menacing Long March in 2009 speaks volumes about
his distinguished position as the adjudicator in the national affairs. In
other words this means that politicians are unable to settle rules of the
game and need the ‘guidance and leadership of others’ manage the state
affairs.
In the wake of ongoing target killing in Karachi, which has taken a heavy
toll on the people, the government is not serious in the stemming the cruel
wave of assassinations out of political considerations. The preference of
political interests over national ones by the ruling elite is condemnable.
Had government not condoned these actions out of political
considerations, it could have deployed rangers and army and ordered it to
shoot at sight. Such timely act would have saved numerous lives and
valuable property from being destroyed. The message sent across is that
people’s lives do not matter as long as the politicians’ interests are not at
stake and they better be on their guard.
