OUR disqualified prime minister Nawaz Sharif while addressing a public meeting in Abbottabad on Nov 19, criticised the highest judicial authority. He cracked yet another joke by declaring that he was not afraid ofgoingtojail.

The nation has not that short a memory.

In 1999, when he was kept behind the bars on a charge of hijacking a PIA plane, he couldn`t bear the hardships of the lockup in which he was provided all facilities.

Even the food delivered was of his ownchoice from his home.

He went into a luxurious exile, enjoying the hospitality of the Saudis in a posh castle, the comfort and luxury of which a normal citizen of Pakistan cannot dream of. On top of that, he kept claiming that no agreement was signed and that he was sent on a forced exile, embarrassing his Saudi hosts also.

Nawaz Sharif also called himself an `ideology`. Will he explain what `ideology` he was referring to? It is the ideology of corruption, forgery, lies, perjury, amassing wealth, physically attacking the highest judicial authority, conspiring against elected governments in collaboration with the establishment, siphoning millions of foreign exchange abroad, and living the life of a monarch in his Jati Umra estate? If this is the name of ideology, the people are fed up.
