Two CIIs

When we talk of CII – it conjures, the image of an institution that is working hard to ensure the growth of Indian Industry and making sure the industries’ presence is felt world wide and with respect. But, to our west, on the other side of the border, CII means Council for Islamic Ideology. In a pseudo-democratic set up of Pakistan, organizations like CII have the power to review laws. The reason of this review is that the laws passed should not be repugnant to Islam. As if the Executive, the Legislature, the Judiciary and the Military were not sufficient in Pakistan, there is a fifth branch of the government!
