Constitutional mandate

      Syed Ali's opinion on the matter is a personal observation.If the members of parliament deem it necessary,they should pass appropriate laws governing the norms and procedure laws governing the norms and procedure vis-s-vis presidential clemency for convicts.Was not any view on the matter expressed their views and sincere advice on the matter , particularly related to exhausting of all legal channels.
      His opinion, or advice , to the president ,to 'judiciously' use his authority , is rather impolite .I am sure he could have written to the member of parliament of his constituency or to the president directly , if he felt so strongly about the issue, rather than putting it in the print media as a direct criticism of the president; which it amounts to!
      Also ,giving a hypothetical example is also not the way to go about it.It would have been better be to deal with the matter as it is since he seems to be well aware about it.Citing such examples,seems more like giving advice publicly , and that too, to the president.It seems rather impolite . After all is said and done, he is the head of state.
