PM’s SHO

A front page head lines of The News of today reads, “Whatever the memo verdict, SHO will be assigned by me, says PM”. What a statement coming from the highest executive of the country and what has a thanedar ( SHO) got to do with the Memogate except that he may be instrumental in implementing the judicial verdict ?!  Frankly, what kind of message is the PM trying to give and to who?  Is it not a clear case of flouting the supremacy of the Rule of Law?
