Soon after taking oath as prime minister by selection during World War II, Sir Winston Churchill, in his first cabinet meeting, asked: "is Judiciary functioning", to which the law secretary replied, "It is functioning without let or hindrance throughout the country." Churchill's spontaneous remark was: "then we will win the war."
But our Prime Minister, in self-illusion, thinks himself to be a statesman par excellence and has, therefore, been avoiding intellectual and legal appraisal of the verdicts and directives of the Supreme Court of Pakistan until now (perhaps blinded by his future prospect in the Hollywood) leading the country towards monumental disaster.
