Dawn, January 16, 2012: “Finding Husain guilty of treason is like finding democracy guilty of treason,” says one US analyst.
After reading the above statement, my vocabulary has failed me and I am looking for a word that describes a mindset worse than insanity.
How can the American senators and scholars give any argument in favor of Haqqani’s clear treason? Worse, they are attempting to label ISI Chief Shuja Pasha for treason because he sought to verify the Memogate allegation on his own. What else was he supposed to do? Seek permission from a government who is supposed to be the culprit itself in the Memogate issue? What would have been the “democratic reply”? ‘Ahan! So you have found out that we were committing treason against the country. Very good. Yes, please go and investigate about our attempt…’
And where is the balance of accusations for treason? One side is being accused of calling upon a foreign country against the country’s armed forces to protect one’s political seat. The other is being accused of trying to verify this allegation without “permission”. Are there any balancing scales in the world which can even remotely make any balance between these two allegations under Article 6?
