Attock Accountability Court’s 21-year disqualification on Nawaz not covered by Musharraf pardon
ATTOCK: The 21-year disqualification on holding a public office imposed on Nawaz Sharif by the Attock Accountability Court in the helicopter case in July 2000 was not waived in the presidential pardon granted to him.
This disqualification has now become a major basis for Nawaz Sharif being barred from contesting the forthcoming by-elections by a three-member bench of the Lahore High Court (LHC).
“This disqualification and non-waiver of the ‘conviction’ (only the sentence was pardoned) in the plane hijacking case have been a sword of Damocles hanging over Nawaz Sharif’s head,” a legal expert explained to this correspondent.

I was reading Attock News on your website and was really impressed by the dedication of your team. In particular, your interest in the community and the country was admirable. Your insight into the political and social problems facing Pakistan and the solutions you offered to tackle those problems was illuminating. Pakistan needs young leaders like yourselves who can come up with new solutions. There's one big problem where people spend a lot of money and still don't receive help for their personal problems, that is, the problem of fraudulent pirs and amils who are robbing the populace. It would be a great service to expose those people and, with the assistance of your team, find real Wali Allahs who could guide people to worship One God and follow the Sunnah of our Holy Prophet(peace be upon him). I heard that there are very good Wali Allahs in the Attock area. If you or your team know of any "real" Amils or Wali Allahs, please let me know by sending their contact number.
“ I will decide when to reinstate the ousted judges”, said Mr. Zardari arrogantly. There was a touch of revenge in his tone and tenor. He has not kept his pent-up frustration to his chest that he was not released out of incarceration by the same judges. Little does he appreciate that he was in there not due to political reasons like for his political philosophy or thoughts but purely on corruption charges. Great political personalities, like Mr. Bhutto, Wali Khan, Nawabzada Nasrullah, Mufti Mehmood et al, were never charged with any corrupt practices though they went to jail several times but for their ideologies.
Mr. Zardari can not fool all the people all the times as he is not the only informed and well connected person in Pakistan. We all know that the Americans brokered the
