Fazlur and Rest of Hypocrites Still Support NRO

By Salman Mugsi • Nov 25th, 2009 • Category: Politics • 2 Comments

It will still be a time that we come to know what bones exactly the present regime has thrown towards the Fazlur Rehman. Like Diesel permits of Benazir Bhutto’s era, chairmanship of Kashmir committee and the state land in D.I. Khan bestowed by the Pervez Musharraf, it would be quite interesting to learn what Fazlur has extracted from the current regime.

The statements appearing in the media by the Fazlur and his companions show that they are all for the infamous law and its beneficiaries. The Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI-F) still has a soft corner for the Zardari government even after making public the names of the National Reconciliation ordinance (NRO) beneficiaries.

Starting from the president Asif Ali Zardari, At Least four federal ministers;  Interior Minister Rehman Malik, Defence Minister Chaudhry Ahmed Mukhtar, Farooq Sattar and Babar Ghauri and  plethora of provincial ministers from Sindh are the beneficiaries of the NRO.

That must have brought a good price to the Fazlur.
