Of Hasan and the ETV

The same discussant came up with the unique idea that whatever came to pass as to the country's former Chief Justice Hasan's taking over as the Chief Adviser of the present Care-taker Government were again the collective outcome of the same kind of zeal and arrogance on the part of the immediate past government. That he would eventually end up far from assuming the mammoth responsibility was virtually made clear the very moment the age-limit for retirement of the judges of the Supreme Court was increased by the over-enthusiastic government of the day to pave the way for Hasan to become the next Chief Adviser. Given his track-record of being upright throughout his judgeship, who could hold for sure he was not poised for the required service to the nation? To my utter surprise, most of the gentry present readily subscribed to this view. Not that I myself didn't felt inclined at all, too.

As a matter of fact, politics as practised by our statesmen has taken to the evil way so profoundly that it hardly leaves room for mutual tolerance, trust and respect among the political parties. The way the political parties oppose one another on each and every national issue sans any consideration for rationality or acceptability never fails to get the citizens quite dismayed. To speak the truth, opposition for opposition's sake has been the single creed of the political parties here. Isn't it high time things were beginning to change for the better in the greater interest of the nation?
