Clash Between Aitzaz Ahsan and Zardari
By Salman Mugsi • Jun 4th, 2008 • Category: Politics • 5 CommentsSupreme Court Bar Association President Aitzaz Ahsan and co-chairman of Pakistan People’s Party Asif Ali Zardari are at loggerheads, and the feud is only getting ugle. In an interview to the New York Times, Aitzaz has allegedly said that most of the cases against Zardari and Benazir were justified and Zardari has become clean only due to the National Reconciliation Ordinance.
Now that is something interesting and very vivid. Previously Aitzaz was silent against Zardari and always termed him as his leader, though Zardari always tried to criticize Aitzaz under the lines, and he was backed up with the people like Dr. Babar Awan, Farooq H. Naek, Latif Khosa and Rehman Malik. Now Aitzaz has also opened up the fire, and the first round of firing has just concluded.
Zardari has become the top man in Pakistan as a miracle, no doubt about that, and miracles don’t last forever. They come and they go, and Zardari perhaps knows that. Aitzaz is the same man, who sold the lists of Sikh militants to India when he was interior minister, and he also got LPG licenses from Benazir as a reward to cover up for her corruption cases.
Zardari has also criticized Aitzaz for not properly helping him in the days of his incarceration, and he has complained that Aitzaz never sent him meal in the jail despite of asking many times. Small people, small things and small bursts of power are enough to bind them and to blind them.

Your post says it all - small people, small things….
We too are small because we are content with small leaders - and that is the dilemma of this nation!
If Aitzaz has any character or principles, he should resign from PPP after blaming the leadership for corruption. He likes to take both sides by staying with so-called lawyers movement and keeping dPPP membership. I believe both will benefit if hypocrates like Aitzaz are no longer in their ranks.
He should not only resign from PPPP, but also from the Bar Association and be debarred from practicing law for professional misconduct. As lawyer he is under obligation, both ethical and legal, not to use any information about his own clients (Zaradri and Bhutto) which he has so shamelessly used. The basis of information that he was privy to and used to condemn them publicly was privileged attorney-client conversation. This is beginning of a bad tradition; how can anyone trust his lawyer from now anymore.
it is said that once it was being narrated as story that son go to sleep or zardari will be here.aitazaz must have retrograde memmory loss,once i have seen in my father office ,at office of the advocate genereral sindh ,22 senior police official fighting and excusing each other that i will not attend court tomorrow during zardari trial.i dont know why .
