    Is this guy comparing regular civilian courts that were setup to try racial violence with military courts with no transparency awarding sentences to civilians? I mean the extent of boot polishing is brilliant!
    Replying to @TalatHussain12
    UK statement on Pakistan’s internal legal matter over award of punishments to 9th May culprits is “Absolutely Unacceptable”. UK in an absurd and totally uncalled for statement has raised objections over trial of civilians in the military courts in Pakistan.

    عمران خانُ میں اگر زرا سی بھی انسانیت ہو تو وہ ان جلسوں کو فورا ختمُ کر کے اس وقت کے اصل مسلۂ پر غور کریں اور لوگوں کو غور کرنے کا موقع دیں۔ پانی کی شدید قلت کی وجہ سے چولستان، تھر اور بلوچستان میں لاکھوں لوگوں کی جان کو خطرہ ہے۔ خدارا اپنے ڈرامے بند کریں

    Bibi the only game in town is being played by those you work for. The Commissioner, DC, DIG & SSP Pindi are never appointed without taking a nod from the GHQ. Suddenly you are trying to give it an international angle

    They say Pak PM called a bunch of anchors and told them the jihadis are bad for Pakistan so they have to go. Isn’t this exactly what Nawaz Sharif said but had to then face Dawn leaks

    A couple of days ago Suhail Warraich sb in an article predicted that MNS will be PM & Shahbaz Sharif CM. Now in their program in Geo his team saying “those who had to do victory speech gone home” wonder if these analysts thought about how people felt

    The establishment should be considered having gone mad if they try to change results at this stage. Governance and policy making won’t be easy if a government of GHQ’s choice is brought.

    interesting that this philanthropist didn't quietly walk into a Pakistani embassy and denote this money for flood relief. Wonder why?

    The biggest issue with the Pak-Saudi agreement not being talked about is that there was no discussion in the Parliament and probably came as a surprise to the unfairly elected lot. This is the worst that Pakistan Parliament has been in decades

    Except no one is talking about what the current PAF management did to the officers that made Abhinandan happen. Two air marshals are rotting in prison
    Tourist visa via Wagah border would have been less trouble

    So some Pakistanis are angry with Afghan behaviour in UAE. Not that the behaviour should be condoned but just think what the Afghans must have felt the way we treated them since 1975 - building as a nursery of terrorism & violence 4 strategic ends
