Pakistan's premier columnist and our senior most intellectual Mr. Irshad Ahmad Haqqani recently wrote two successive columns addressing the Supreme Court of Pakistan. In his first column on 28 March 2009, he addressed Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry and second one on 5 April 2009 to naiknam Justice Khalilur Rehman Ramday. In both these columns, narrating sufferings of the telephone subscribers, he appealed to the justices to take suo moto note of the now privatised telecom company's inattention towards its duty of serving its consumers. During 2008 alone, Mr. Haqqani wrote four exclusive columns on the topic of "injustices of the PTCL and PTA against the subscribers". During the four months of 2009, he has written three (or perhaps four) columns on this issue which shows not only the increasing depth of suffering of the subscribers but also illustrates how seriously does this old writer feel for this suffering. Last year he spoke with President General Musharraf on the topic. Upon instruction from General Musharraf, the Chairman PTA (also a former general) contacted Mr. Haqqani with the usual bureaucratic excuses but the grand old man was not appeased. The senior writer spoke with the President again. Now he wants the judges whom Musharraf expelled to do justice to the PTACL-affectees. -JAVED, Karachi, via e-mail, May 1.
