I have great hopes and fears for my country at this period of great uncertainity, but I hope for the best for Pakistan that we may bring democracy, justice, and peace in our country by the efforts of brave men and women of Pakistan who have united against the dictatorship and extremism in our country. I look forwrad to celebrate yaum-e-iftikhar and the days to come in future including the 9th of March which is not only a black day for our country but also the day of courage of a man who changed the hearts and minds of his countrymen.
My best regards to the CJP Iftikhar Chaudhry, noble judges, and the lawyers of Pakistan.

These Corrupt judges specially Iftikhar Chaudhry should never be reinstated, he is the same judge who has taken oath under the same emmergency provision thrice but now he wanted to play politics and was trying to over rule the Parliament.If he wants to play politics he ha two options one to form his own party or join his favourite party like Mullah’s Jamat-i-Islami.
I believe that the above mentioned opinion is non virtuous and make no sense at all, therefore nothing more can be said about it.
