Pakistan : Terrorist Wahabi Islamic Rep Pakistan 7

[ravish]

The civilian government in Pakistan has been cornered both by the judiciary and the powerful military. The Pakistan Supreme Court’s contempt notice on the Prime Minister and its direction to the PM to appear in person before the apex court may have far reaching political consequences .



Unlike in the past , today the Pakistan judiciary appears to have the full backing of the powerful Army Corps Commanders. As we all know during the past few weeks , due to memo gate affair , the relation between the Army and the civilian government had been far from normal. In the past, if such a situation had arisen the Army would have overthrown the Civilian regime. However, keeping in view the prevailing internal situation particularly the economic condition in the country, the Army do not want to get involved in directly handling the situation. They are preferring the civilian set up to remain in place , so that they are not directly blamed for anything.



The order of the Supreme Court of Pakistan may prove to be helpful to the Army, as it may result in the replacement of the Prime Minister and may be the President without any direct military action. It will be quite interesting to follow the developments in Pakistan during the next few weeks.
