Ever wondered, why Europe is second name for peace, prosperity & tranquillity. I am watching news on CNN and something has come up which is unbelievable. Italian court rules Berlusconi's immunity law unconstitutional, which means Italian prime minister could be tried for bribe, corruption and fraud. According to The Guardian newspaper, "The decision represented a severe blow for the prime minister, already struggling to contain the damage from a lurid sex and drugs scandal in which he was accused of using the services of prostitutes."
The newspaper further noted; "Today's ruling marked the second time in five years that Italy's most august tribunal had rejected an attempt by the right to put its leader above the law. Initial reports said that the judges had reached their decision because a constitutional reform was needed, and the government had used a routine law. As Berlusconi's lawyers acknowledged in their pleading to the court, the immunity act represented a breach in the constitutional principle that all Italians were equal before the law."
This decision comes in a time, when we have many mainstream politicians who are the beneficiary of NRO. Is President immune from trail? It's not my place to comment. I would also like to know the motives of these cases, as in Pakistan political victimisation has been shameful reality. Having said that there is lesson for us, that no matter, how much our illiterate clerics teach hatred against Europe, they have better justice than us.
Shame on us, no need to explain the shame and disgrace….
