'A caution and a critique'

This is apropos a Business Recorder editorial "A caution and a critique" carried by the newspaper yesterday. The newspaper concluded its argument by offering an advice: "The military establishment and the intelligence community have their own heavy responsibilities to attend to. Arguably, experience shows that their involvement in politics or other spheres, especially if hidden from public view, has neither helped the polity nor these institutions.
If Chairman Rabbani's caution and Senator Babar's critique are kept in view, taken as a whole they offer a wise course for all state institutions and political forces to pursue." But I have a different view: Raza Rabbani, who has miserably failed to justify his decision of not announcing his ruling on the criticality of trichotomy of power, has been found to be extremely soft on former prime minister Nawaz Sharif's unconstitutional acts. He, in fact, allowed the passage of a highly controversial law that enabled a disqualified person to head a political party. Insofar as Farhatullah Babar is concerned, he too has failed to offer a wise course at the fag end of his political career.
