Aitzaz Ahsan - The WINNER yet AGAIN!



GEO channel's 'Capital Talk', a current affairs programme, which is hosted by Hamid Mir invited two very important guests to discuss the extra constitutional measures taken by President General(R) Pervaiz Musharaf. The guests were Aitzaz Ahsan, a warrior against anarchy, and Attorney General Pakistan Malik Mohd Qayyum- the Captain of the Defence Team of Musharaf. The show successfully transmitted the message of truth which has taken us out of the world of illusion in a blaze. By the end of the show Aitzaz Ahsan came out victorious as he managed to make Malik Mohd Qayyum accept things which were against the regime of Musharaf and his stance that the actions of November 3 were lawful.

Firstly, Malik Mohd Qayyum admitted to the fact that the measures taken by Musharaf were Extra Constitutional, thus this certifies that General's measures were against the constitution.Secondly, he proclaimed that personally he does not like monarchy but will defend Musharaf because previously courts used to bow down under martial law administrators - Army Generals. This comment is a huge contradiction plus a big lie because he is helping Musharaf to prolong his cling to the throne and fighting with Chaudary Ifthikar who has the distinction of being the first Chief Justice not to bow down against a military person. One ponders why he is not supporting the person who has fulfilled his personal desires then. Thirdly, the Attorney General informed us that a judge can only and only be removed by the provisions in Article 207 and nothing else which proves the point that Musharaf cannot suspend judges through an extra martial or in other words through an unconstitutional order. Moreover, when the question was raised by the host that judgments of the Supreme Court(SC) should be respected even if its a Chaudary Ifthikar SC or Hameed Dogar SC, Malik Mohd Qayyum said that the host is right as under the Article 190 under the constitution, the people of Pakistan have to respect the court rulings and that he is a firm believer of this Article. On that note, Aitzaz hit his winning blow which was 'the feather' which broke the 'camel's back'. He asked him a simple question - ' Why did you and your client not accept the decision of the Supreme Court led by Chaudary Ifthikar who passed the decision on November 2 that the proclamation of emergency is not required and summoned you to come to the courts on November 5 and clarify the stance of your client ?'.
This caused a panic and made Malik Qayyum speechless or it actually left him in a state of gibberish. All the time before this TV show, Malik Qayyum stressed the fact that judges could be only restored with a 2/3 majority in the Parliament and Senate and not by a simple resolution. But as he was engulfed in a state of confusion by the shrewd lawyer, Attorney General had to accept that if the will of the people want the judges back through a simple resolution than that is a possible because Aitzaz Ahsan reminded him that he used the same tool to get Musharaf's PCO rules validated by the then 'outgoing parliament' and Supreme Court.
Therefore, it proves that President Musharaf has become the first President in the history of Pakistan who can be put on trial for the charges of molesting the constitution in other words for treason. I express gratitude to the media of Pakistan for becoming an eye wash for the people of Pakistan.
