Without morals

Soon after the Supreme Court gave its verdict on the infamous NRO various TV channels showed the people jumping with joy. Some channels also showed interviews with our leading politicians seeking their comments. In one of these channels when asked, Khawaja Asif said that now the president has the moral obligation to step down. Replying to his comment Mr. Babar Awan said that asking for the presidential resignation is nothing short of a joke. "Khawaja Asif should stop cutting joke now", he retorted. I believe Mr Awan is right because Mr Asif made a technical mistake when he asked the president to resign on moral grounds. The word 'moral' is something, which does not exist in the dictionary of the People's Party particularly the dictionary of Mr. Awan. Once he made a claim that he is Ph.D. doctor. But though the myth was exposed by the press but he did not reign. Then in the Harris Steel Mills case he was accused of receiving bribe worth 35 million. Yet he did not resign. Mr. Awan, it seems is a man of strong nerves and these insults cannot deter him. It is all the more amusing that when he speaks on TV he repeatedly admires himself. NARGIS WAHAB, Rohri, December 17.
