In a true comedy of errors the supreme court of Pakistan has delivered the verdict of Nawaz Sharif and Shahbaz Sharif both being ineligible to take part in elections in this country.
The hilarious part is that this judgment comes after Shahbaz sharif has “taken part” in the last elections and is the “current” Chief Minister of Punjab, the largest and the most powerful province of Pakistan.
Personally I do agree that people with marked and murky histories should not be allowed into our politics anyways, but if this is so then why were they allowed to run in the last election. Why were they accepted as the “Chief Minister of Punjab” and why are some politicians declared “unfit” while others enjoy the protection of various deals brokered outside Pakistan.
This only goes to prove that politics in Pakistan is indeed run at the behest of only a few men who take each and every decision as they see fit. Nobody gives a damn about what should really matter. Pakistan.
Right now stock markets and commodity markets are tumbling like anything as the fear of something drastic happening strikes the streets of Pakistan.
