Baithak Desi Jun 16: Who provided the "resources", Questions Media Skirts, Bhandara, News & Views, Cartoons
Finally the Long March has fizzled and Aitezaz Ahsan has promised to make the trains that run on rails "march."
He has also admitted that the movement "lacked resources".
It is time the learned danishwars, experts, senior (and junior) analysts, pundits and respected anchors start asking the one question that seems to have been overlooked so far. Who has been providing the resources for the lawyer's movement since March of 2008? Ardeshir Cowasjee hinted yesterday that Nawaz Sharif was the financier. Today Frontier Post seconds that. (Mian Sahib statedly shelled out quite a dough from his fabulous wealth); also, Azam Khalil wrote:"Reports suggest that a major political party bank rolled the lawyer's movement during the long march.."

There are other questions that beg to be asked.
* Exactly when Brig. Gulzar Ahmed added Kiani.
* Did Nawaz sign a seven year deal or a ten year deal?
* What is the declared net worth of Sharif Brothers in the documents they filed with the Election Commission?
* Same query to be asked if and when Zardari opts for the election route.

The abrupt and unexpected ending of the long march after unprecedented hype was most disappointing for the people following the developments on this end. As the whole show fizzled out, it ended up adding more confusion and uncertainty in the country. Imagine hundreds of thousands of people, pouring in from all parts of the country, a great thing to watch, gathered in front of parliament to press for their demand to reinstate deposed judges. Aim was to continue sitting there till the objectives are achieved. But in the wee hours of Saturday, Aitzaz Ahsan who was a bit worried and concerned at the start of the march made an unusual announcement, calling off the protest march right in the middle. All he said was that the movement lacked resources to continue the sit-in, as promised at the beginning of the long march. The announcement was a rude shock for the young lawyers who had come to the federal capital in the hope of getting the judges reinstated, highly emotional and charged. The young lawyers as such burst into anger, seen shouting slogans against Aitzaz Ahsan, the hero of the lawyers' movement. Nadeem Syed
