Baithak Desi May 02: Nawaz Face Saving, Zardari Finesse, Headlines,

Looks like Goldie has outwitted Sharipov again. Fly on the wall is convinced that the resolution would be introduced and then stonewalled. The "resolution" will give Nawaz Sharif a face saving he needs. It would need validation by the President. Any guesses what he will do?

And Zardari will be looking for his "package." This package will clip the wings of Iftikhar Chowdhry. NRO will stay. Contorted "democracy" will seemingly win and continue its subverted ways.

The Pakistan Muslim League (N) quaid Mian Nawaz Sharif said that the restoration of the judges would be made through a resolution and not through a constitutional package and they would be restored at the November 2 position. Judges to be restored at Nov 2 position: Nawaz Sharif

And this:

“President Pervez Musharraf will not watch such a development as a silent spectator. He will act firmly to block the return of the sacked justices,” an official told The News. He said there was also a strong possibility that the Supreme Court was going to take a suo motu notice of the restoration of the dismissed judges on the way the issue was being pressed by the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N). A petition that was already pending in the apex court, seeking a stay order against any such parliamentary resolution or executive order may be taken up moments after such reinstatement. Presidency set to block return of judges

Ayaz Amir agrees with my views and says:

The National Reconciliation Ordinance (no piece of trickery ever had such a virtuous or innocent-sounding name) is a concession to the past. Giving Mr Asif Zardari a clean bill of health, it rescues him from his past. But wanting desperately to close our eyes to unwelcome facts we did not think through the consequences of the NRO. We failed to realize that the NRO and the restoration of the pre-Nov 3 judiciary were two incompatible propositions, two swords that could not rest in the same scabbard. The end of another fairytale

The Monkey? Do you know who he is?
Of course every one knows him; he used to be Mr. 10%,
now-a-days he is Mr. 100%.
The Monkey’s Justice for two cats! May be for all the cats!

Story: Once two cats who were very good friends went on a walk. While they were walking on the street, one of the cats saw a box of butter (in two more versions, it is bread or cake) lying besides the road and told the other. The other cat at once jumped and grabbed it.

The first cat said, "Give me the butter (bread or cake). It is I who saw it first."
The other cat said, "Keep away from it. It is I who picked it up."

A fight started between them and they were unable to find a solution. A clever wicked monkey was passing by who saw them fighting over the butter (bread or cake) .

He thought “How foolish the cats must be. Let me take the advantage of their quarrel”. He came to the cats and said in a loud voice. "Don't fight. I will do justice. Let me share the butter (bread or cake) among you both". Thus the cats gave the butter (bread or cake) to the monkey thinking that he will do justice by distributing it equally between them.

The monkey split the butter (bread or cake) into two parts. (In another version, he used a BALANCE!). He shook his head and said, "Oh! One is bigger and the other is smaller". He ate a little bit of the bigger share to make it smaller. But the bigger share now had become smaller than the other. Thus he again ate from the other. He repeatedly ate part by part from both the shares to make them equal. At the end there was nothing left to share. Thus the poor cats were disappointed and realized their mistake of fighting over the butter (bread or cake) .

THE MONKEY ATE THE WHOLE THING AND THE STUPID CATS KEPT WATCHING WITH THEIR EYES OPEN IN AWE & ASTONISHMENT!

Moral: When two quarrel, the third takes the advantage. Quarreling and fighting over any issue is destructive. One must not loose temper without a clear thought. One must be calm, gentle and humble to analyze and resolve the conflict. One must confess, seek and pray for justice. Quarrel leads to anger and anger leads to frustration, thus a situation is created where
in the wisdom of justice for reasoning is obsolete and lost.

We have to resolve the issues peacefully. We have to put our best efforts with calmness, gentleness, love and compassion.
We have to avoid hatred, enmity and criticism. Free and fare constructive communication is one of the basic rights of human beings. It’s one of the means to achieve freedom and liberty. Freedom and liberty are contagious where communication is the means to spread it across. In other words it’s impossible to achieve freedom and liberty without communication. A strong belief in freedom and liberty is a must. We have to communicate without any fear, to spread it effectively, thus to create an effective team work. We can avoid fear with strong faith in optimism. We have to dream of a secured peaceful future, thus put effective efforts to achieve the objective. We have to put our efforts without any frustration. We must never loose hope. Things will definitely change as the history proves that change it self is not constant. In other words history keeps repeating. Good things will definitely happen. The more effective the efforts, thus are the results. Let’s make a humble request to all our loved ones so that we can achieve our objective. Good things are possible only with the blessings and wishes of the loved ones. It’s a collective effort.

May Almighty Allah protect our beloved Pakistan and all of the simple, honest-to-goodness, down-to-earth, and poor people of Pakistan, from his “monkey business,”
Amin Yaa Rabb-ul-‘aalameen!
