Who is actually running this country?

How's everyone been doing? I am fine despite my absence. I have been doing much more reading than writing, and I must say I am liking it that way. No pressure to post ntgh!

You know ...At times, it seems to me like the COURTS are running this country, or atleast would be able to run the country more efficiently than the Government. Allright, they have their drawbacks.. but look at so many things happening around you.

In Delhi, for instance, the CNG conversion, the sealing of illegal constructions, the shifting of industries.. all that has been made possible only because of the courts. Especially the environment related cases, where the court has shown real activism. The latest being the Narmada Bachao Andolan case. Left to the government, the rehabilitation is just not taking place. But why? Why do these displaced people have to fight so much and knock on the doors of courts to get what's their due! If only the government would do its job properly. I think the most important concern should be that a proper rehabilitation must take place. The dam is being built.. it's not going to be stopped, and it's going to serve a lot of people. But one shouldn't forget those who have to suffer because of it. They also come into your voting banks Mr. Politicion?

Well Pakistan is facing the same thing too.Citing one case of such relevance..Iftikhar Choudhary - The supreme court Judge,Pakistan, being called as a Challenger in Pakistan, recently gave sum historical judgement by allowing Ex- PM Nawaz Shariff to return to Pakistan despite being sent to exile for corruption charges charged by the present govt..But why is he allowed after so many allegations & corruption is a different issue. That I will talk bout sum other time.

There's been innumerable cases of conflict between the Court and the Govt related to their jurisdiction and powers. Recently everyone heard Manmohan Singh (PM Of India) using his so called discretionary powers by advising the supreme court not to cross their limits and for staying away from the govt. matters.

It appears to me now dat the Courts have become more powerful than the Government ..who do you think?

Well My advise to both of you - Beth ke maandwaali kar lo aur apna apna Area divide kar lo...simple!
