Supreme Court hears Nawaz Sharif’s exile appeal ISLAMABAD, Aug 9 (AFP) Pakistan's Supreme Court Thursday began deliberating an application by former prime minister Nawaz Sharif to have his exile overturned and be permitted to return to the country. The application was heard by Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry. “It is Nawaz Sharif's unconditional and unequivocal right to return to the country, which cannot be either curtailed or denied,” his lawyer Fakharuddin Ibrahim told the court. Returning to Pakistan was a “fundamental right,” Ibrahim said, adding that Sharif's desire to come home was “linked with his concerns for the future of democracy in the country.” ”We are concerned with the future of parliamentary democracy in the country, which cannot be undone by a gentleman in uniform,” Ibrahim said.(Posted @ 15:05 PST)

According to captain clueless, "fK", the Army has nothing to do with Pakistani political institutions being weakened, fighting US wars, as it works politically with the Pak Army, against the public, has nothing to do with it. According to Einstein here, it's all a power fight between a president and prime minister, and the Army would gladly support a strong president (but never do it he's out of uniform) and that is because of the time Jinnah spent in office! Go figure MashaAllah..., what the hell is this fool teaching our youth?

in #146 read "(but never do it he's out of uniform)"

as "(but never does it when he's out of uniform)
