Supreme Court ki ankh ke taroon ki corruption - I
In the hearing on NRO cases, NAB admitted that it had spent over PKR 2 billion on investigations against Benazir Bhutto and Asif Ali Zardari. Despite spending this hefty amount, nothing could be proved against the two. In this series, I am trying to highlight the allegations on Right-wing politicians, bureaucrats, army officials and media personnel. For the sake of justice, I want these allegations to be thoroughly investigated with an equivalent inflation adjusted amount spent and brought to logical conclusion. In the spirit of investigation against BB and AZ, I would suggest that the fairness demands that the prosecution team for these allegations be chosen by PPP leadership to have a level playing field.
Nawaz Sharif:
Here is a list of allegations of corruption against Nawaz Sharif - in a five clip series.
Nawaz Sharif had two convictions against him, one is a case of hijacking and treason and the other of corruption in purchase of a helicopter. He had a number of corruption cases pending against him and many inquiries under way. As a result of the presidential pardon given in response to written request by Nawaz Sharif and other family members, the inquiries were stopped, all cases were dropped and sentences were removed as a result of a presidential pardon.
Nawaz Sharif himself acknowledged the deal (worse than any NRO) - Express Link. The guarantors intervened to force Nawaz Sharif to stick to the deal till Benazir Bhutto and NRO paved way for his return (Dawn Link).
Ironically, without probing into the detail of the allegations, investigations dropped and convictions, Supreme Court in a haste set aside all allegations against Nawaz Sharif. Unlike NRO, it did not question non-probing of Federal and Provincial Govts. on political grounds.
Another shameful allegation against Mr. Sharif is his involvement in attack on Supreme Court.
Mr. Sharif and his cronies say that Musharraf could not find anything against him in his 9 years. It's a blatant lie because under Mr. Sharif's exclusive NRO (known as Jeddah deal for Sharif's of Jeddah) Musharraf dropped all allegations, cases and investigations against him and his family and they were never opened during his tenure. Nation needs a thorough investigation into these allegations on the lines of allegations against Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto and President Zardari and trial of all cases against him under international observers.
His foreign business interests and assets should also be probed much the same way as has been done against President Zardari. It's a fair demand and I invite you all to support me on this.
