Supreme Court Should Clean Up The
Corruption Mess
All leading politicians including President
of Pakistan should declare their assets with explanation and
verifiable sources how they accumulated those assets.
We request the Chief Justice of Supreme Court
of Pakistan to order all leading politicians including President
of Pakistan to submit the list of their assets along with
verifiable sources how they accumulated those assets.
If any politician fails to provide the list
of his/her assets along with verifiable sources the
Supreme Court of Pakistan should disqualify that politician and
put restrictions on him and his family to participate in
politics for next 10 to 20 years.
Similarly, Supreme Court should restrict the
participation of all the offspring of all dictators and the
offspring of their abettors in national politics. Election
Commission should put the names of those people on its
restricted list and heavily advertise their names in their
constituencies so that their voters come to know them and
they look for alternative leaderships.
This process should not end with politicians.
After setting the example of politicians, Supreme Court of
Pakistan should order the members of Civil and Military
bureaucracy including the members of judiciary to file the list
of their assets along with verifiable sources of income. If any
officer of civil, military and judiciary fails to submit the
list of his assets with verifiable sources of income, he should
be terminated from his position and restricted from
holding any official position for the rest of his life.
Growing lawlessness, corruption and broken
governance system is taking toll on the well-being of Pakistan.
With the presence of these powerful players
among politicians, civil, military and judicial bureaucracy, the
chances of Pakistan’s recovery seem abysmal.
If these powerful players remain active and
influential, there is a higher probability that Pakistan will
continue to slide down the hill and eventually disappear
from the map of the world.
These powerful players are already well
entrenched in international capital establishment. In case of
Pakistan’s demise, they will immediately run away, but the
millions of people of Pakistan will face the consequences.
Pakistan must survive. It should survive for
millions of Pakistanis who are the real stakeholders and owners
of Pakistan.
It is a rudimentary condition for the
survival of Pakistan that all ‘nonsense’ should be purged out of
its body politics through judicial activism.
If Pakistani generals imposed 4 martial laws
in the country in the name of saving it and cleaning the mess in
its body politics then what is stopping Supreme Court of
Pakistan from moving ahead and cleaning up all the mess.
We are very confident, if Supreme Court of
Pakistan starts moving in this direction, Pakistani media and
the people of Pakistan will be on Supreme Court’s side.
Pakistan has reached to the ‘make or break’
point of its history. The Supreme Court of Pakistan, with the
help of honest members of civil, military and judicial
bureaucracy and media, can make it a real country through
judicial activism.
Supreme Court should start this process from
politicians, cut through other important wings of government,
and other segments of Pakistani society and continue it until
all such elements are neutralized and eliminated from Pakistan's
body politics and governance.
