For Asif Zardari compromise in exchange for his freedom was repeatedly dangled in front of him. Neither Nawaz Sharif nor Musharraf’sregime managed to convict him or make him bend to their will. Even though the ‘hijacking’ charges against the Sharifs were trumpeted ones having no legal basis whatsoever, the agreement allowing them exile was the easy route. In contrast Asif Zardari conducted himself in eight years of incarceration with bravery and dignity, and to his credit, with abundance of humour. One has to admire his courage and tenacity in standing up to the odds stacked against him for a lifetime in prison for cases he was never convicted for. Therefore his acceptance of relief under Musharraf’s NRO when he could have easily fought the court cases into oblivion was a shock. The democratic process by which he took the president’s chair by a heavy mandate was good for the federation since all the provinces contributed significantly to his victory, the NRO stained that success unnecessarily. Unfortunately, some anti-Pakistan elements full of hatred against the current elected government and particularly President Asif Zardari, are continuously trying to do just that based on recent opinion polls. Media campaign against the head of the state is condemnable. Neither Nawaz Sharif nor Musharraf’s regime managed to convict him or make him bend to their will. It is true that both Benazir Bhutto while staying exile and Asif Zardari in incarceration courageously fought their court cases. Yes we admire his courage and tenacity in standing up to the odds stacked against him for a lifetime in prison for cases he was never convicted for. Any move against democratic government or President would be disastrous for country. People of Pakistan have given mandate to PPP government and President Zardari. We must support present democratic government and elected President. Both Benazir Bhutto (in exile) and Asif Zardari (in incarceration) courageously fought their court cases.

Most of the shenanigans are attributed to his friends who not only seem to fit in and out of the presidency at will but also flout the authority that stems from it, also at will. The media’s responsibility to carry out accountability notwithstanding, who is orchestrating the regular feed of information fuelling the accusations of impropriety? And why? Corporate details are the work of insiders, either passed on voluntarily, or given ‘on request’. What is the objective? To bring to power another adventurer or simply effect a change of face at the presidency as the ‘minus-one formula’ suggests? Normally one would discount uniformed intelligence agencies being behind this, it would be monumentally stupid for the Pakistan army to try to run Pakistan again. The question arises, will burning ambition ever learn?

Mind you, Zulifqar Bhutto was a true leader and visionary whereas Zardari is, in many ways, a fluke president. He married Benazir and was lifted from relative obscurity into Pakistan’s most powerful political dynasty. A Karachi playboy who had reportedly turned his basement into a disco, Zardari stabled his polo horses at the Prime Minister’s official residence during Bhutto’s first term in office. Meanwhile, he earned the nickname “Mr 10%” for the kickback he purportedly took on government contracts. Zardari would spend most of his political tenure in prison on charges ranging from corruption to murdering his brother-in-law, he has always carried a certain, well, unsavory reputation as a crooked, back-room operator. Zardari wouldn’t remain in the shadows forever. Trust me; I don’t see any revolt if he is removed from the presidency thru legal process, @ Faisal Naqvi

What is the future of President Zardari following the NRO judgment? Are we heading towards a clash of the titans, that is, the executive and judiciary? Or will it be truckloads of soldiers piloted by a jeep? I think the imagination of the some TV show hosts has run wild. Many of them are merely doing wishful thinking. Zardari has also pointed out that a conspiracy is being hatched by 'pen' and 'bayonet' together. It is also apparent that some journalists have waged a war against the government targeting President Zardari. Pakistan needs political peace badly. Political peace would guarantee the elimination of terrorism from Pakistan and its western borders, strengthening economy and focusing on core national issue. But in order to achieve this aim, all the institutions would have to work within their ambits; judicial activism would certainly badly hinder this aim. It is time to re-discover for our Survival is linked with this soil. These were not bigger goals that were un-attainable but leg pulling, conspiracies and non-sense attitude of some of the politicians and institutions made it hard to achieve. If Govt was allowed smooth functioning, We were far more strong and stable today.

If this happens, keeping in view courts favorible attitude towards PML-N and her inability to move against Musharraf, this will be seen as an act of vendetta. This will revoke the memory of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto's hanging among the supporters of PPP across the country and it will be very difficult for PPP leadership not to launch an allout assault on courts. Also, these are the same courts which tried Mr. Zardari for 12 years without any evidence. When there is no reason for minus-Zardari at this stage, it seems impractical to oust Mr. Zardari as well. Parliament can impeach Mr. Zardari by 2/3rd majority. As of now, PPP has 155 of 442 members of parliament. This alone is sufficient to foil any impeachment move. If anyone thinks that there can be a major coup in PPP against widower of Benazir Bhutto and father of the party chairperson Bilawal Zardari, having full backing of the only living daughter of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, I pray for sanity to him. If Leghari in presidency and PPP-Patriot Ministers with most lucrative of portfolios could not break PPP at a time when Benazir was in exile, then it seems unlikely that this will happen at a time when the man himself sits in Presidency. Also, knowing Mr. Gillani, he is not likely to be Farooq Laghari and will prefer resigning himself rather than backstabbing Zardari. Also, presently, it seems unlikely that ANP or MQM will go against Mr. Zardari in any such move. Different ways are being adopted to disqualify Mr. Zardari through courts.
