A double-edged sword

Mr Nawaz Sharif wants to table a resolution to restore the sacked judges; a move supported by the lawyers and a segment of the public. Asif Zardari wants to restore them through constitutional amendment; a move supported by the presidency and another segment of the public. Asif's move is like a doubled edge sword. If he succeeds, it will hit Nawaz. If he fails it will hit him back. But there is a catch; the hit will make NS a public hero. On the other hand, a similar hit will make AZ face a revolt within his party. Meanwhile, the move will open a floodgate for massive horse trading repeating the ugly and unhealthy past history of democracy in Pakistan.
