What about sacred bulls?

PML (N) Leader Mian Muhammad Nawaz Sharif has said nobody would be allowed to become a sacred cow, which is in fact not otherwise sacred in Islam. However a question arises in the context of sacred cows that what about sacred bulls that our Constitution allows to exist in the form of President and Governors etc. who claim immunity from any act of corruption as long as they hold their posts. We should not only not allow any sacred cows but also sacred bulls, which would otherwise breed more sacred cows. Mian Sahibs own role has become somewhat tarnished when he made a deal with ANP about changing the name of NWFP to Pakhtunkhwa in exchange for removal of ban on third time prime minister ship. This deal was in fact done not in national interest, which dictated that agreement of KBD ought to have been obtained from ANP in exchange with KP. In fact Mian Sahib allowed another sacred cow of ANP to flourish against the national interest of Pakistan that needed consensus of ANP which was once in a lifetime chance that was missed. DR.
