Gilani’s conscientious talk - Well done
For a while I have been critical of the Prime Minister and the cabinet’s inability to tackle the multifaceted crises. Yet I believe that my criticism will lose objectivity if I cannot appreciate the good things done. I have been following the premier’s US itinerary quite closely and had been expecting that the meeting will be similar to Jamali’s foolish pat on the back rubbish. But it was not. No matter how many times GW Bush winks at his audience it cannot be denied that the Prime Minister conducted himself fairly well. In fact some of his statements against the possible US strikes inside Pakistan are the bravest by the recent Pakistani standards. If we could call ourselves a dominion during a military dictator’s regime, a weak political government could always sink even lower. But it was timely that Washington be reminded that the country could no longer take the vicious friendly fire from the allied forces. And it has been done. Well done Mr Prime Minister for not mincing your words.
