It is important to clarify that Sarena Faez, the wife of Justice Qazi Faez Esa, has her own independent source of income and has been filing her tax returns both in Pakistan and in England, where she holds dual citizenship. It is therefore unfair to cast aspersions on her character or suggest that she is somehow benefiting unfairly from her husband’s position.
Furthermore, it is worth noting that Justice Qazi Faez Esa has been cleared of all charges that were leveled against him after a rigorous and extended trial by the Supreme Court of Pakistan. This means that any doubts about his honesty or integrity are unfounded and baseless.
While everyone is entitled to their own opinions, it is important to base those opinions on facts and evidence, rather than mere speculation or hearsay. Justice Qazi Faez Esa is a highly respected judge who has dedicated his career to upholding the rule of law and protecting the rights of all citizens. Any attempt to undermine his credibility or reputation without proper evidence is not only unfair but also damaging to the integrity of the judicial system as a whole.
On the 50th Anniversary of the 1973 Constitution of Pakistan, political forces including Pakistan Democratic Movement showcased their strong asset, which can be seen as a positive step towards a more promising future for Pakistan. Home is where the heart is, and after all the hard work, Qazi Faez Isa is finally home.
“I am sitting with them, it doesn’t mean that I agree with them, I may hear their cases in future and the decisions may come against them. I came here to celebrate #50YearsOfConstitution”
Justice Qazi Faiz Isa
In the darkness of the night, the question arose – should one sneak into the GHQ or meet with a political leader? Should one sit in court and push the agenda of a political party or instead, in broad daylight, submit to the supremacy of the Constitution and Parliament and let the Parliament take its course? Without a doubt, the latter is a thousand times, perhaps infinitely better.
The cover of darkness may offer a cloak of invisibility, but it does not cloak the wrongdoings that may occur. The shadows do not hide the ulterior motives that may be at play. On the other hand, openness and transparency are the foundations of democracy. When the halls of Parliament are open and the sun is shining, the actions of our leaders are brought to light and are subject to scrutiny. The transparency of the democratic process is what gives people faith in their leaders and in their government.
In the courts, the rule of law is meant to be upheld, but when politics becomes entangled in the judiciary, justice is often compromised. The judiciary must remain independent of political interference. It is important that political parties do not hijack the courts for their own purposes. Instead, they should work within the democratic process, which includes the oversight of Parliament.
Parliament is where the voices of the people are heard, and where decisions are made in the open, in the light of day. It is where debates and discussions are held, where ideas are shared and challenged, and where laws are made. The parliamentary system is a beacon of democracy, a system that has stood the test of time and has been adopted by nations around the world.
