It is the men of character who can stand such situations and bluntly say the No More thing. Our cart is now being driven by Mr.10%. God help us!

Talal sahib! Lets give some grace months to Mr. AZ. As an optimist, I will not criticize AZ before seeing his performance. I also believe, humans undergo transformation sometimes. Since he has faced extra-ordinary circumstances since 1997, culminating in death of her wife, such jolts are enough to disrupt the in-built programming (computer language)of a soul. In so far as his alleged corruption is concerned, you know he has already got punishment in shape of imprisonment of eight years. Its almost equal to life-imprisonment as jail manual counts day and night (24 hours) as two days.
What I think, he can use his skills for securing interests of Pakistan. Who can deny his is really a talented man. Look at his past. Is not he a “wardaatia”…?
Now lets hope after accumulating heaps of wealth, he wont need more. And he may (rather he should) use his acumen for furtherance of the country’s long term interests.
We may like or dislike him, but it is a reality he has not bagged this post with help of Brigade 111 but through a legitimate democratic process. Unlike his predecessors, he does not lack legitimacy so he has perfect timings to play a tactful role for reformation of foreign policy. He can.

A person told AZ that not a single man is happy by your becoming President, AZ replied i want that my name is written in the history of Pakistan. In my view by being a president his name will be written in the history books but it would be better if in “GOLDEN WORDS”

Naeem sahab, I agree to what you have said. Maybe our uncivilized nation needs a person like him. Besides, if he has repented from his past doings there is no reason we should keep on digging the old graves.

Ah….Talal sahib. Im sad today. The reason I just typed for TPS..I am copy/pasting here:
To be an optimist causes pain, sometimes when one starts thinking positively and expecting that from now on, only ‘good’ will come out. The same happened to me on Tuesday. In some of my fresh columns in Express and comments at TPS, I suggested friends not to be impatient and suspicious about Asif Zardari (now one may or may not like, to write the word ‘President’ with his name is a compulsion)—and give him some time before he actually starts performing his official work.
I remained glued to television to watch oath-taking ceremony which was surely a sad event as the man who deserved to administer oath to AZ was replaced by some other. Yes, I missed Chief Justice Iftikhar Mohammad Chaudhary.
If Musharraf was the culprit to sack superior judiciary on Nov 3, 2007, why the democratic leaders of the country did not restore them. What was CJ’s fault—only that he refused to obey the unconstitutional president and his illegitimate Government?
At 3.45 pm, I expected AZ to talk freely and frankly to the nation through a news conference but what a pity he came along with Hamid Karzai, so-called Afghan president. (The man whose authority is limited to one house where he lives in Kabul). The moment I saw him, it started creating extremely bitter taste. Inviting him to attend the ceremony was ok, but when the whole nation was expecting AZ to say something openly, to make some announcements of national importance, HK’s presence marked the occasion with ‘his-excellency-style-formalism’.
As an optimist, I expected AZ would announce something regarding CJ and some of his cronies in superior judiciary but when Absar Alam, the only courageous man in hundreds of reporters, asked Mr. President about CJ, Iftikhar Chaudhary, Mr. AZ suddenly got defensive and one short sentence reply was considered sufficient. That was “I do not have any personal score to settle with anybody’…
I expected AZ would say something after ‘securing’ himself within walls of the presidency, he would undo his sins, broken promises to the nation, but he just repeated some of the ‘nice’ sentences which he has remembered…like “democracy is the best revenge, democracy does not listen but it tells, this or that problem is not bigger than you and me”…. bla bla bla…
I am a dejected person today. My hopes are broken. Honestly speaking, I wanted to forget criminal record of a man and I wanted to respect him by wearing new glasses of hope on my eyes but what I saw on Tuesday ….. It is certainly not a good omen. His wisdom is getting exposed after we have been hearing repetition of words, sentences by him and merely the words NOT backed by actions.
