I must speak of my own house, for the gravest damage was done not by generals or bureaucrats but by judges. The judiciary was meant to be the citizen’s shield — the one institution whose purpose is to say no to power on the authority of law. But it too was a colonial inheritance, and carried the reflex in its bones: under the Raj it had served the sovereign, not the subject, and at independence it transferred that loyalty from the departed Crown to the new establishment, not the people. So when the tanks rolled, the courts, again and again, said yes. They fashioned a doctrine of necessity to legalise the seizure of power; they swore in usurpers; they dressed lawlessness in the robes of law. The colonial mind inside the judiciary has cost this country more than any single dictator, for it turned the guardian of the Constitution into the notary of its breach.

Dr. Musadik Malik’s recent 15-minute address at a conference in Islamabad was a sobering reality check on how our state machinery serves a small elite rather than the public interest. But rhetoric at a conference cannot substitute for policy at the Cabinet level. The real question is: have these hard truths been tabled in the Cabinet? If they have, and he is not getting the appropriate response or action, then it should be clear exactly who the 'Chaudhry' is and where the real problem lies. It’s time to move the conversation from the podium to the power structure.
