‘Missing’ persons

The Supreme Court has directed the government to furnish details of
Pakistanis handed over to the US. The court has been informed that
1,600 persons were missing in 2008 — of whom, 1,300 had been missing
since 2006-07.

Through
the columns of this newspaper, I would request the honourable chief
justice of Pakistan to trace two ‘missing’ persons who are very close
and dear to the people of this country. Our beloved ex-president Pervez
Musharraf and the ex-banker-cum-prime minister Shaukat Aziz have been
missing since long. Last time the ex-president was seen singing the
song “Lage re tou say lage, sajan sayan lage” (the clip can be watched
on YouTube) while the ex-prime minister enjoyed the melody sitting
among the audience.
