Kunwar Idris has produced an interesting article in today's edition of Dawn. More or less explains much about our politics ands the way they are going.
Factually speaking, the president's constitutional powers are restricted to a few key appointments and dissolution of the National Assembly in a situation where either the prime minister loses its majority support or when "the government of the federation cannot be carried on in accordance with the provisions of the Constitution and an appeal to the electorate is necessary".
Musharraf's own scheme of politics has doomed his "enlightened moderation". It remains an empty rhetoric. The tide of extremism continues to rise to hurt the people and the economy. The blame for instability and violence lies where it belongs - the founders of the regime. It admits of no alibi.
Jamali thus has to sign his own death warrant to be born again as a leader in his own right ceasing to be a proxy of Musharraf or Shujaat. In the elections that under the Constitution must follow within 90 days of the dissolution, all parties and citizens should be enabled to participate on equal and fair footing but none allowed to summon Islam to its aid for that stands above politics.
