It would also be worth delving into how an ordinary clerk could afford such a posh car
RAWALPINDI: Look at the Machiavellian twist a Kurram Agency political clerk has so artistically given to a murderous attempt by his son(s) to firing in so-called self-defence at the other party, which, according to him, was trying to kidnap him. Does he think that all those watching the live footage of the incident are fools to believe this ridiculous claim? Agreed, a couple of millions, which a person in his position can easily afford, could buy him the investigators and the smartest legal brains, but it would be an acid test for Imran Khan and his trumpeted provincial police force to see that justice is served.
It would also be worth delving into how an ordinary clerk could afford such a posh car, apart from using the green government number plate on it. Who was the car issued to? Should children be allowed to drive official cars of their parents? Also, were the weapons licensed to his children? How were they obtained? These questions must absolutely be investigated in order to eliminate the faults in the system. Let’s see if justice can be guaranteed by the proponents of the PTI government. This is a test of how the PTI goes about solving an issue that has been prevalent across all provinces for a long time.
