A butt of jokes

Judiciary is the noblest of all professions not only in Pakistan but all over the world. But we are playing what might be called the biggest joke of the times with this sacred institution for the last 16 months or so. Musharraf removed the then CJP in his camp office, a big joke. Locked him up in his house with out a flag on top, another joke. Then, they made a fake case against him and later quietly withdrew it, yet another joke. The present rulers did not reinstate him despite a written agreement prior to the elections and that is the biggest joke of all. As a result, the lawyers are taking him around locked up in the front seat of Pajero like a 'war hero' while they go city to city. This also looks like some kind of a public joke. -AMJAD H MIRZA, Lahore, via e-mail, February 3.
