Sheikh Rashid, an Imran Khan ally, urges Pakistan’s Chief Justice to kill President Zardari
Sheikh Rashid and Imran Khan: Two abusive pro-Taliban politicians seeking political union
In a joint political rally by Imran Khan’s PTI and Sheikh Rashid’s Awami Muslim League in garrison town of Rawalpindin, Sheikh Rashid Ahmed called upon the Chief Justice of Pakistan to “kill the bast***d before he kills you”. He is alleged to be referring to President Zardari.

There can be no doubts about Sheikh Rasheed’s intent which is incitement to murder.
This gives rise to some uncomfortable questions:
1. Why would a failed Jihadist politician refer to the judiciary to kill anyone, let alone the elected President of the country?
2. Can Pakistan’s upper-middle class, the bulk of whom support PTI, PML-N, MQM and the Judiciary afford to associate themselves with such reprehensive, violent and abusive behavior. Given Pakistan’s bloody history of military coups and extremist violence, this question answers itself.
3. Will Pakistan’s Judiciary take notice of this incitment to murder and more importantly, will it prosecute Sheikh Rashid for his public admission of such crime?
President Zardari is the symbol of the federation of Pakistan and has been elected by the Parliament. Parliament must take notice of this incitement to murder and take action against Sheikh Rashid. If the Supreme Court does nothing, then by default it becomes a party to this incitment to murder. The failure of the higher judiciary to take action on this may make it complicit in this hate crime. In such an instance, Parliament must also take action against the Supreme Court.
Will Pakistan’s elected parliament show enough spine to take appropriate action against a judge who is so blatantly hostile to constitution and parliament?

Sheikh Rashid like his fellow DPC comrades, Malik Ishaq of ASWJ-LeJ and Hafiz Saeed of JuD-LeT, does not belong to the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP). By now Pakistanis know that this PCO Judiciary is only concerned in derailing the elected Government. Jihadis, PTI, PML N, family members and the ISI enjoy immunity from the Law. To reiterate, failure of the Judiciary to take notice of this incitment to murder makes them complicit.
A judiciary that undertakes judicial activism for two bottles of liquor, a slap inside a polling booth in a remote town in Sindh and the prices of samosas cannot pretent to ignore this incitement to violence within a few miles radius of the Supreme Court!
It will be most interesting to see the response of Pakistan’s partisan media (both English and Urdu) and civil society on this. Will their romance with the PTI, CJP and its violent Jihadi allies continue? Like many of the earlier questions, the answers are all too clear.
Post Script: Barring the exception, much of Pakistan’s media continues to mantain a silence on this issue. Failed politicians like Shiekh Rashid and Imran Khan are after all media darlings. Unlike elected PPP leaders, they are given ample and disproportionate media space to spew their hateful, bigotted and xenophobic message. Nusrat Javeed is one of the few journalists who took up this issue in his Bolta Pakistan show yesterday (14th August, 2012).
Not only did Sheikh Rashid incide the CJP to murder, he also called Mullah Omar “Amir-ul-Momineen” (Leader of the Faithful) and requested the latter to issue Imran Khan with a visa for his pro-Taliban rally in North Waziristan later this year. Similarly, he extorted General Kiyani, albeit in a more roundabout manner, to stop the military operations against the various Taliban militias in Swat and North Waziristan.
And this man is the political ally for Kaptaan Imran Khan. Enough said!

Shame on Sheikh Rasheed and shame on his principled ally Imran Khan
Congratulations to PTI. They deserved to have Shaikh Rasheed in their ranks. Birds of a feather:

I appreciate their will and ignore your height of illiteracy and obtuseness for tilting the words in your lack of understanding.
@Demcratic, when I read your comment (especially wrt obtuseness), I chuckled at the irony.
good article
The Adulterer of Lahore with the Pimp of Rawalpindi. A political alliance any brothel would be proud of!
Profanity is a long lasting feature of Sheikh Rashid. Old habits die hard.
Shaeikh Rashid should tried for using profanity.Should be tried as traitor,who conspire against the head of federation.
Mullah Omar is the Ameer al Momineen of Sh Rasheed and soon to issue VISA to Imran Khan, watch 15 mins on Laanat on Sheikh Rasheed and his Ameer

“If the Supreme Court does nothing, then by default it becomes a party to this incitment to murder. The failure of the higher judiciary to take action on this may make it complicit in this hate crime. In such an instance, Parliament must also take action against the Supreme Court.”
I fully agree to your stance
The Choudhri courts have not direct contact with sitting Generals and always takes orders through “Dallals” such as Ansar Abbassi, Kamran Khan (many other Media anchors), Sheeda Tally or Sheikh Rasheed, Nawaz Sharif, Imran Khan (many other politicians). So “Kill Bastard” is the final order for this PCO Judicial Cabinet.
But where are the Jiayalas of Pindi????? Sheikh Rasheed deserves a lot!!! Let Jiayalas of Pindi Littar Pittar him.
PTI and Sheikh Rasheed is a match made in heaven! Suntay aaye hayn, joray bantay hayn aasmanon mayn 🙂
“Imran Khan is still the most sought-after man in Pakistan!” Is that why Baitullah Mahsood liked him, and Sheikh Rashid finds Imran ever appealing?
Sheikh Rashid should look into mirror before criticizing anyone,he is not only a failed politician but also one CHARACTERLESS INDIVIDUAL WITH NO EDUCATION AND MORAL VALUES.
Imran Talib FAKE KHAN AND RASHID BOTH ARE HYPOCRITES and oppourtunists,imran gambled with charity money,Rashid is also known criminal.Both are pro-taliban.
the dream of pakistani establishment and right wing to destroy peopels party can not become reality ever:-)
According to Nusrat Javed, Sheeda used to masturbate in the national assembly while staring at Benazir, but after her death Zardari made an alliance with him in NA 55 bye-elections.
Where were the morals at that time? Why didn’t anyone create a hulla baloo back than?
Oh I forget, this is classic bhuttoism aka hypocrisy!
Well you also learn than that bhuttoism ends at gallows with stretched neck or a blown head or perhaps more holes in body than a PGA golf course.
