Dear Sir
It was very interesting experience when the whole sensationalists were glorifying the deposed(now retired) CJ Chouhdry….and U have brought the unpopular stand….now the “glorious judge” has visited the mecca of the rightest (and the servants of mekka…and their highly respected…in other words the sacred Mian sb…)…known as US….I am looking forward to see from U sth on the issue…the highest expectations of the over sung hero…to put the case of american strikes on our territories…case of red mosque and missing people….I hope he will have the courage of refusing any honor from the land of the liberty statue….as the media has appreciated Samad Khurram’s for his courage(??)

Ali you are right. There is a valid criticism on this “movement” now, because Mr Zardari is criticized for going to USA, Aitzaz Ahsan went many times to USA to lobby US policy makers for retired CJ. This is never seen as “intervention” in Pakistan’s internal matters. This all is a farce. CJ is a hero in this movement for being the protector of “missing persons”. Now what moral stand he has for receiving medals from a US institution, when all missing persons are missing because of USA. The constitutional movement raised a lot of voice on civil rights. Now what bout greater civil right violator in the world?. Cant he see Guantanamo bey?, the institutionalization of torture in CIA abduction cells in Europe?
what a farce.
