Helpless ?
Published on August 04th, 2021

Nawaz has become exceedingly aggressive, for he is so incensed over the announcement of the UK court ordering NAB to pay $1.2 million to Broadsheet.
The Chairman Nab whose term has expired in October is negotiating an extension to his term in office. I, as a Pakistani would like to inquire how this chairman, who has done nothing in the last three years warrants an extension ? In fact, he has achieved not one conviction for corrupt practices by the Pakistani politicians to date.
He has claimed recovery which on closer inspection could be seen as a book entry otherwise known as creative accounting.


His entire four years have been spent in protecting the corrupt as he has achieved no conviction. Resulting in Imran Khan’s plaintive plea, “ I’m helpless.” Instead of an extension he should be sent to jail for obstruction of justice. Imran Khan is the only leader in the world other than the Pope who has claimed helplessness as an excuse.


One can remember Roosevelt paralysed from the waist down negotiating with Stalin and Churchill from a wheelchair. His resolve did not waiver and led the free world against Stalin and Churchill. Imran Khan as PM is offering excuses against Shahbaz Sharif and Zardari who should be in jail and are not. This is beyond helpless. Imran is working 20 hours a day. Doing what? Petrol prices are up, Sugar is up. The circular debt is up again. Why? Imran Khan in three years has not been able to have his orders carried out. Rumour has it that if he becomes President, things will change. He can call himself any thing he wants to. The name change will not matter. He will be helpless than, as he is now. Nothing will change unless he puts Zardari and Sharif behind bars, not in any air conditioned hospital beds. Mr PM, who is stopping you? It is, as PM that you can order the Army to arrest and incarcerate these crooks. No person who is head of a nuclear state can be considered helpless in any form. This expression smacks of schizophrenia.
