IK and Buzdar needed to take stand but they surrendered. Even if LHC tried to remove CCPO, Punjab govt could have gone to SC to get him restored. That would have been slap on the face of CJ LHC. Alas! Government took the easy route, the route of retreat and surrender.
Remember, current Supreme Court is way way better than LHC. Faiz Essa alone can’t do anything. One, he is not CJ, so he can’t constitute benches. Two, there are 16 other judges too in SC.
Government should use SC to fight out LHC. Don’t get frightened by LHC judges. Let them make decisions against you and challenge them in SC. If you get proofs of their wrongdoings , file presidential reference against them in Supreme Judicial Council. But, here government is laying flat in front of LHC. I wouldn’t be surprised if I know that Bushra Bibi used her ‘spiritual powers’ to decide the fate of Umar Sheikh, the ex-CCPO.
