I AM not a lawyer but I know I am sensible and pragmatic. I do not understand why the National Accountability Bureau court is giving on an average a week to 10 days on such a high-profile case as that of Nawaz Sharif (NS) and his people.

Mr Sharif’s advocates are unnecessarily delaying the case with one-odd application or the other such as clubbing references together etc. Are we trying to delay the case and cause him agony? or are we delaying the case for the media to thrive on talk shows and sensation created by his appearance in court?

Can any of your leaders tell us what is the rationale behind this long-dates punctuation. Are we scared of something?
