Could any one imagine a deal (or an 'understanding') between the military regime and the Chief Justice of Pakistan at this point in time? It is unimaginable, isn't it?

The valiant stand by the Chief Justice has unquestionably raised the spirits and rekindled a ray of hope among the disheartened people. It has inspired the indifferent, downcast and depressed masses to stand up for one more time – may be for the last time - to end the military dictatorship. A Mush-CJ deal at this time would surely cause a severe blow to the present movement for democracy, rule of law and the independence of judiciary.

Such a deal will make the people lose faith in any good to ever happen in the country. It will give birth to inconceivable anguish, gloom, despair and desolation, which will result in a major catastrophe. There would be no winners in such a situation – only losers.


Why would then any one think that a Mush-PPP deal (or an 'understanding') will be less devastating for the wretched people of the miserable country?
