Stop Musharraf from addressing public meetings, SC asked

2005-01-26

A citizen has moved the Supreme Court of Pakistan asking the court to stop President General Pervez Musharraf from holding public meetings in uniform and to stop Pakistan Television from broadcasting programmes in support of the two offices. Engineer Jamil Ammad Malik, the Communist Party of Pakistan president, through a constitutional petition said that General Pervez Musharraf was in service of Pakistan and the 1973 Constitution barred him from taking part in politics.

I can see room for compromise on this. How about if he wears a uniform and a turban?

Or a turban with a whole bunch of medals on it?

Nah, the weight would cause him to tip over on his face. Not very dignified, that ...

#4 I was going to suggest a green cape, but it has already been done in Kabul and the frogs in Paris may mistake him for one of their own.

#2 A four-fer... He could suddenly become a Sihk to improve relations with India, get around the Commie wanker, make a bold fashion statement, and the dagger thingy might come in handy next time someone tries to assassinate him.

#1 He could put some of the medals on the back, as a counterbalance...or along the tail of fabric descending down his back, the way some of the Bugtis wear it -- and then he wouldn't need as many back there, according to the lever arm principle, y'know.
