a naqi | 14 years ago | Reply One really feels pitty for the most Honorable and man of principle Mr Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chuadry who is encicled by such a peaple. Now it is high time to hold all such pious of the pious accountable for proffessional micconduct and betrayel to the worthy office the are holding.

Ahmer Ali | 14 years ago | Reply Assalam-o-Allaikum Warahmatullah.PM Gillani is distributing the most expensive plots in the judges in Islamabad generously as these plots are PM Gillani's personl property.If PM Gillani has soft corner in his heart for the SC's judges then he should have to distribute the plots from his own property not from Pakistan's most expensive property and this is the live example of growing bureaucracy under the umbrella of government for the obtaining of its illegal benefits from the bureaucracy and to create more and more corruption in the key departments of Pakistan.
