Like always mutaram janab Dr. Israr Ahmed has hit the nail in the head. Real issue is niether mere restoration of judiciary nor indepence of judiciary unless the standard of justice isn’t what Allah and HIS messenger salat-o-wassalam has prescribed for the believers. Without restoration of Islamic standard of justice no judiciary can ever be free of slavery of fellowman’s standards of justice. If the standard of justice is going to be set by the fellowman, may he be a military ruler/dictator, or may he be our lawfully elected parlimentarian, or may it be the blindly cherished western penal standards, it is going to be obedience to fellowman. What good this long march and this lawyers movement is going to do if in the end, we remain to be fellowman’s slave. Justice cannot be served freely nor equally as long as the standards of justice are set by man for man.

The only disagreement with Dr. Sahib that I may dare express is that such a eulogy of this long march, of this lawyers movement and of the political support by Mr. Nawaz Sharif is indeed an insult to common man’s intelligence because every common man by now knowsfor sure that no lawyer,no politician, no military general, no criminal in the country is going to march to be judged by the standard set by Allah and HIS messenger salat-o-wassalam. All they want is to be in a position to be able set standards for others —the under dogs and their adversaries— the standard that must not apply to them. IRFAN
