Who Should Be Impeached?

"It is dangerous to be right in matters on which the established authorities are wrong".
This happened on 19th June, 1992.
An unlawful operation was launched by the Army during the democratic government of Mr Nawaz Sharif. He invited the Army to crush the elected government of Sindh. Surprisingly, Nawaz today is against any army involvement in the country!
Nawaz Sharif has double faces.
In1992, he claimed the MQM was against the sovereignty of Pakistan and planned to make Jinnah Pur. Today, he falsely accuses MQM of being an agent of the Pakistani establishment or Army.
In the nineties the Government of Pakistan adopted a policy of extra-judicial killings instead of prosecution to remove any revolutionary elements from the party.
Between 1995 and 1996, hundreds of workers with active association with MQM were extra-judicially killed by Rangers and police, sometimes in cold blood. (Pakistan Chronology 1947-1997 published by Ministry of Information and Media, ISBN 969-507-000-0).
It would be in the fitness of things if the authorities and individuals who were involved in extra-judicial killings between 1992 to 1999 were impeached.
Nawaz Sahrif should be impeached for launching the illegal army operation against the MQM and for
misguiding the Army for personal and political motives.
