A commendable stand

Media is creating a stir on PPP's stand on the judges' issue. In my opinion the decision of Mr Asif Ali Zardari not to go by a simple resolution to restore judiciary is commendable, as this would have surely created a constitutional crisis. Introducing a constitutional package instead is an honest attempt to change the system. This would not only stop any further adventures to curtail the powers of judiciary or to influence it but other important issues like the balance of power between President and Prime Minister and reducing the concurrent list in the constitution will also be addressed. I think we should give the government enough time to take the corrective measures, instead of just pointing fingers at it. -MEHVISH YAZDANI, Islamabad, via e-mail, May 21.
