Indians are probably wondering enviously when our politicians will be treated like they are being treated in Pakistan at this moment. The Paki Supreme Court has struck down the National Reconciliation Ordinance, NRO which gave amnesty to around 8000 politicians and officials for stealing and bribes. The Defence and Minister of Interior have been barred from travelling abroad on official visits and notices have been issued to Jehangir Badr, a close aide of President Asif Ali Zardari. All this would be laudable if it was being done for the nation but it seems to be revenge by the Chief Justice, who was under house arrest during Musharraf's rule, egged on by Nawaz Sharif, who was exiled by Musharraf. They are playing a dangerous game if they think that they can grab power by embarassing the present lot because Sharif and his brother are high up in the rogues gallery. Zardari is immune while he is president but he will see a constant erosion of power and will eventually be brought down. His main defence should be to leave behind a poisoned chalice for Sharif that removes all immunity from every politician and then instigating investigations into the activities of the Sharif family. If all this leads to another coup by the army all the jokers in this farce could end up at the end of a rope. Russian roulette.
