Zardari does not enjoy legal immunity: Sanaullah

Can the politicians in this country stop bickering about the President and his immunity? If Zardari was not the best for this job why our politicians did not think before they elected him as President. We as a nation have bigger problems that need to be resolved first. Removing the President from office will not solve these problems but rather only make them worse. The political elite and the media in this country need to move on from the issue of the President’s immunity and start looking for solutions, with the present government, for the problems that affect the common citizen. Political bickering would just pave way for the autocracy and I think there is no need to repeat again and again the common saying that the worst democracy is always better than the finest dictatorship. I believe that hundred percent of problem we are facing today is the outcome of longest military rule in Pakistan. Pakistan has had the misfortune of having lived under the tyrannical rule of the military, from which much of today’s problems of Islamic extremism stem. Criticism aganst democratic system has always been sharp as compared to democracy in Pakistan because of politician’s soft credentials against military generals. All military regimes thrive in conflict and they will create a new conflict if the old conflict seems to be dying down.As such, another military coup will be catastrophic for Pakistan. President Zardari should be congratulated for trying to run a country as fragile as Pakistan. He must be supported by all who want democracy to take a foothold in Pakistan. Without democracy, tyranny will return and even a good tyrant is a bad leader.
