Justice Iftikhar as a President?
By Farid Masood • Apr 24th, 2008 • Category: Politics, Worth A Second Look • (1,047 views) • 27 CommentsPeople are talking about the disposed Chief Justice of Pakistan, Mr Justice Iftikhar Chaudhry that he must think to become the President of Pakistan. A private TV Channel is also telecasting some concept like that. People shown giving their views in favor that he should become the President of Pakistan.
The problem with our society is that some times we just ignore the core issue of attention and exaggerate the matter. In the case after November 03, 2007 the core issue is the restoration of Judiciary to November 02, 2007 level or if I say at July 20, 2007 level might not be wrong. The restoration of about sixty disposed judges is basically the restoration of judicial system. Reforms in our judicial system are much needed now. If we think that Justice Iftikhar Chaudhry is our hero then the hero should be given a chance to improve the system till he retires. Although he was the man who took oath under PCO (Provisional Constitution Order) for which his senior then Chief Justice of Pakistan refused to do so. But after March 9th 2007, disposed Chief Justice stood up and became a man of voice supported by the nation. This support was extended to him as nation got a void to release its anger against the government.
This anger of the nation was due to the wrong doings of the government and some good deeds by Justice Iftikhar. One that he had created a human rights cell in the Supreme Courts of Pakistan and a citizen could reach him in a cost of rupees four only (a dak ticket). Justice Chaudhry took actions on such applications and there were more than six thousand such application received by the Supreme Court around the country.
This and other good roles the disposed CJP must play after being re-instated. He must become an example and rule out all lame allegations on him by President Musharraf, which became cases against him. He must work for the improvement of the existing judicial system along-with his sixty colleague judges. I am sure till the end of his tenure, we may see a lot of improvements in existing judicial system of Pakistan because he has relevant experience under his belt and know the pros and cons of the system.
There is a rule that any person serving Government of Pakistan could not become President of Pakistan until he has passed two years after his retirement / resignation. Past has gone we must honor this rule.

no more words for you, Mush is a illegal President, if he has to be legal he has to get himself vetted from the current assemblies. He toppled Judiciary for the sake of his chair. and you people are part of his game, being president of Pakistan one must have to disengage from political parties whereas, he is getting support of Political Parties till now. you all are afraid of revival of Judicial system in Pakistan. Wait for a week when the judiciary is re-instated i will then talk to you, by then good byes

F. Masood, you seem to be suggesting that when you in your wisdom are trying to “create a point of view” which is so outlandish that it becomes responsibility of thinking people to point this out? Your claim of writing in the interest of “goodwill for the nation” must also be vehemently contradicted. Simpley read your own writings of last few weeks and it will “impress” you that how systematically you have been an instrument of divisiveness. When you talk about your “Mush” I just laugh at your pettiness, it almost sounds like you are talking about your neighbors’ sister’s friend’s brother-in-law, and not about the president of your country. The president is not my cousin or my cousin’s cousin - he is the President of Pakistan who has the privilige of being Head of the State (The Federation of Pakistan). As far as TPS is concerned, you would like to give the impression as if you have monopolised it, may be you wish so. Let me just give you a little tip. You can not monopolize KNOWLEDGE, INFORMATION, and yes even a public forum. For this first you have to have Intelligence.

My simple and clear message to you, please please please read the whole article before commenting. This is a forum to create a point of view of goodwill for the nation, not for people who just come here with an average and predefined mentality. No nonsense is required, my point of view was what Mush has done was wrong and this should not be repeated by making CJP a President. If he has to become President he should resign and wait for two years. Have you any sensible idea please float on TPS, otherwise keep quite.
