Ahmed Raza Qusori ka moun kala ho gaya

Islamabad, Sep 24, 2007 A lawyer Monday blackened the face of President Pervez Musharraf's main counsel outside the Supreme Court, which is hearing six identical petitions against the general's holding the offices of presidency and army chief.

A lawyer named Muhammad Khurshid Khan sprayed black colour on Ahmed Raza Kasuri's face as he stepped out of his chauffer driven car.

In 'The Great Debate' program of GEO, the government lawyer Ahmad Raza Qasuri clapperclawed towards Munir A. Malik and Justice (r) Tariq Mahmood. Munir A. Malik is the sitting president of Supreme Court Bar and he and Justice Tariq are one of the renowned leaders of that lawyer movement which played a pivotal role in the re-instatement of chief justice Iftikhar Chaudhry.

Ahmed Raza Qusori said in GEO program "The Great Debate" Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto ko mainay kefar-e-kirdar tak punhchaya tha. It is quite clear that he is addmitted murder of Great Leader of Pakistan Shaheed Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto before the 16kiror nation.

In print media, and on TV channels, Ahmad Raza Qasuri has used abusive language against the lawyers many a times. He has been lashing at lawyers at every forum, and dont even stop shouting and calling names at them. In the program 'The Great Debate', he even went on to say the lawyers,"how can cheap faces like these can travel in the aeroplanes with CJP, they couldnt have afforded it without the foreign aid."

This and many other bad things he uttered in public. When he said it, the hosts of program tried to stop him, but he wouldnt listen. Then audience of program started chanted 'Shame Shame Shame', Qasuri even lambasted at them. Then today in the morning when Qasuri reached in front of Supreme Court for a case hearing, Khurshid Ahmad, a lawyer who belongs to NWFP province, threw black color upon his face. Lawyer Khurshid told media that he did it because Qasuri was continuously abusing the lawyers community. Now this man Khurshid is a very emotional person. He primarily belongs to People's Party. He once shoot himself in the hand, when the leaders of PPP took a decision which he didnt like.

He also criticised opposition leaders and lawyers who are agitating against Musharraf's rule.

Now, Kasuri, after the last night fiasco and today's even, should think that why is he being so despised by the people. I am writing at TPS, and not speaking at any channel, so I wouldnt pretend and say that oh it was bad and blah blah. I find it impossible to show mercy for anyone who is supporting the dictatorship, and who has been instrumental in curbing the freedom of judiciary.
