Nawaz case

Published March 16, 2020

THIS is about the PML-N and the judiciary. To proclaim that mercy was invoked for the medical condition of Nawaz Sharif is incorrect, for mercy is not a legal condition in any law book of the world.

How many more judgement happened that were accounted for under this heading? Only the rich have reaped this benefit, while the poor roast in their cells with their pleas unheard and unjudged — marked pending.

Imran Khan’s duty is to scrap this corrupt and sordid system. Cast aside these parasites who thrive on the misery of others. They excel at generating opportunities out of misery. They create wealth out of shortages of sugar and flour. These prices are dictated by them and the benefits pocketed by them. The system contributed and worked to their advantage and is the reason why it must be scrapped. Only Imran Khan can scrap these corrupt politicians.

The problem will arise in London where Nawaz Sharif and Altaf Hussain are already enjoying British hospitality, making prosecution in Pakistan difficult if not impossible.
