Indian democracy is praised in Pakistan Supreme Court
A belated news though, but surely a shot in the arms for the people of Democratic India from none other than a nation considered to be an arch rival Pakistan
On 22nd October 2007, India's political system came in for praise in Pakistan's Supreme Court, with the country being described as a "good example of a democratic state" with politicians exhibiting the virtue of "tolerance".
Justice Chaudhry Aijaz Ahmed, a member of the 11-judge bench hearing the legal challenge to President Pervez Musharraf's re-election in uniform, observed that the difference between India and Pakistan is that Indian politicians possess tolerance, whereas Pakistani politicians lack it.
He made the remarks in response to a statement by Aitzaz Ahsan, the counsel for retired judge Wajihuddin Ahmad, who said that India was a good example of a democratic state during his argument in court where he said Musharraf was not qualified to contest the presidential election as the Constitution did not allow it.
"The army depends on unity of command whereas the state depends on dispersal of authority, sharing of power, accommodation and tolerance and India can be quoted here as a good example of a democratic state," Ahsan said.
Ahsan also said intelligence agencies in India did not interfere in general elections, in obvious reference to the alleged involvement of Pakistan's secret services in politics.
Justice Javed Iqbal, who heads the bench, then said: "In India generals are not invited by the politicians".
Well.........how do you feel about it?
Surely it raises/boosts our morale, more so because this complement came from none other than a neighbor nation that has maintained a good relation on a tight rope/ knife edge with India and a nation that had so far made our soldiers brave and come victorious in 3 main wars and a 4th one involving insurgents(famed/defamed Kargil, as the military do not consider it as war in its parlance )
As a proud Indian lets revel to this occasion :weindian4: and live upto the expectations in the eyes of other nations thats looking at us in awe at our progress. JAI HIND :weindian4:
