Aftab Kenneth Wilson | 13 years ago | Reply @shah sufi: Yes it is "fragile" because it has always been handed over with many strings attached and that also for a certain period of time which is evident from take-overs and then getting it legitimized through Judiciary and the present CJ even gave an Islamic touch when Mr. Musharaf took over the whole system and later became "One Man Show" All must understand that our country can only survive through democracy so who ever comes to power through ballot box must be allowed to form all policies whether local or foreign. No one must cross the laid down parameters. Judicial heroism must stop.
