Asma shirazis Column: History, justice And kathara
How many months and years have passed, dear homeland, seven decades have passed or maybe decades have passed, looking back, today is still the same place from where the journey started, the destination is still far away, there is no path. And maybe the son doesn't care.
These days, there is talk of political cases and audio-video 'evidence'.
An audio attributed to the former Chief Justice, which allegedly mentions the punishments meted out to Maryam Nawaz and Nawaz Sharif, has hit the market with "sound evidence". Now, whether it affects Nawaz Sharif's case or not, it is clear that the case is being fought for public opinion more than the court.
The former Chief Justice has denied the veracity of this audio and many questions remain unanswered.
Regardless of the truth, the manner in which these cases were initiated and the manner in which they are being answered, unfortunately, in both the courts of justice, only politics is politics.
In the history of Pakistan, many leaders have faced political cases. In the course of history, sometimes Justice Qayyum's tape came to light and sometimes Saif-ur-Rehman kept taking revenge in the name of accountability.
The case of Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto in the court of history still demands justice.
Students of history and politics and journalism must read Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto's book "If I was killed". What is the book? Bhutto's answer to the accusations leveled against him in Zia era In this article, Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto may disagree with his tone, but it is impossible to deny the facts.
Nawaz Sharif, Maryam Nawaz
The writing on more than two and a half hundred pages is a lament for the system of this country.
How the movement was started in the country on the pretext of rigging the 1977 elections, how the Mullah Military Alliance acted against the civilians and the elected government, how politics was carried out in the name of religion card and Nizam Mustafa. How a one-sided campaign was launched by making allegations against the imprisoned Prime Minister, to which Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto responded on the pages which were later turned into a book.
The most important chapters in this book are Civil-Military Relations, Cancer Inside.
There are details about the split of the state of Pakistan and the internal crisis in the context of marshals and continuous violation of the constitution. Zulfiqar Ali bhutto Has also Written in Detail About Foreign Relations in the Same Book.
The same election, rigging, palace conspiracies against the elected government, the same story of civil-military relations. Understand that Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto put the case of 'Why did you kick me out' in front of the people through this important document. Bhutto presented the case of his character assassination and the judicial injustice that happened to him in the court of history. The pen is the witness in this most important case of history and the past has nothing but remorse.
zulfiqar ali Bhutto Was Not Accused of Corruption, But the Manner in Which Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto Responded To The Allegations Against Him in the days of Zia-ul-Haq cannot be forgotten. Readers lay their hands on the heart and assure it to be true, no court is needed and no lawyer is needed.
Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto
Times have changed but neither the circumstances nor the events have changed. Yes, people have changed. Standing on the wrong side of history, they are trying to come in the right direction, they have become part of the powerful houses, they are falling prey to the conspiracies of the palace conspirators, they are still holding the constitution in their hands.
In this chapter of history, the judges themselves testified about the abuse and cruelty meted out to Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto.
Yes, times have changed. You may have to resort to audio-video to get justice, but remember that the justice of history is tough and long lasting.
