Even
after the formation of a coalition government in Pakistan,
there does not seem to be any end to the grievances of the
parties involved. One of the issues pertains to reinstatement
of the judges sacked by President Musharraf. Pakistan Muslim
League Nawaz(PML-N) had called back its nine ministers from
government and declared the party's support to the government
from outside. Indications are that these suspended judges
are to be reinstated. Pakistan People's Party (PPP) joint
head Asif Ali Zardari of Ruling coalition government has made
announcement to this effect. Earlier, Zardari was in favour
of reinstating the suspended judges but later he turned hostile
from his commitment. In retaliation, Nawaz Sharif had decided
to keep away from the coalition government. Again Asif Ali
Zardari has clarified that all the judges including Supreme
Court Chief Justice Choudhary would be reinstated and form
part of the 62 points constitutional reforms. PPP top leaders
had deliberated for three hours on the constitutional reforms.
The reforms would ensure supremacy of parliament and curtailing
the powers of the President. It means this preparation is
to kill two birds with one stone. By curtailing the power
of the President Pervez Musharraf, a message would go to the
public that Nawaz Sharif has good relations with Asif Ali
Zardari and all decisions taken under the Mush regime were
not right. The message that change is taking place in Pakistan
would go to the world.
