Davis' release: LHC seeks explanation on missing families

LAHORE: The Lahore High Court (LHC) on Monday sought an explanation from the Capitol City Police Officer (CCPO) of Lahore Aslam Tareen about the mysterious absence of the families of Muhammad Fahim and Faizan Haider, the two men who were killed by US national Raymond Davis.
A petition was filed by one of the former lawyers of the deceased’s families.
The petition asked the court to take notice of the sudden disappearance of the families following the release of Davis.
LHC Chief Justice Ijaz Chaudhry heard the case and ordered Tareen to present a report on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, Leader of the Oppostiion in the National Assembly (NA) Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan said that the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz would support the formation of a judicial or parliamentary commission to probe the Raymond Davis case.
Speaking to Express 24/7 in Islamabad, he said that people are still confused about the results of case, adding that they have the right to know who the real culprit is.
The opposition leader said that Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani did not take his party into confidence over the issue.
He was of the view that an independent commission should be formed to probe the case.

Hahahhaha….. can’t help laughing.
They are so good in trying to be fool people. Chaudhry Nisar should first ask his Chief Minister as to how Davis got released.Recommend
Does it matter where the families are? add 18,19 people to the missing persons list and forget them. Who cares?Recommend
People are not confused about the result…People believe that Parties and Govt officials and agencies are involved…Recommend
It is quite evident now that all stakeholders were involved in settling the issue with USA and have a win win situation.
Political leaders should lead the people and portray the harsh facts instead of doing politics (lying publicly) and creating confusion among the masses.Recommend
Okeee!! Now this confirms … LHC… dosn’t believe in reading newspapers…Recommend

Long live democracy…Forget your sovereignty..we were sold to US long ago by Pervez Musharaf and present government is abiding by the deal. Both PPP and PML-N were planted in Pakistan by CIA to legalize their wrong doings..I know our ignorant people will again elect these so called leaders of the nation. Shame on them.Recommend
In short ask Rana sanaullahRecommend
God Help us! This is so freaking obvious that there is a strong political element in these courts! We have tonnes of problems which are much more severe than these people who got green cards. Thousands of people dead, target killings in karachi, terrorists getting freed and all the court can worry about are a few people who made some money out of their dead relatives?
stop trying to fool us and start dealing on proper issues!Recommend
Geee, this news report brings our attention to the fact that there is actually a high court in our country too…Recommend
Corrupt Elites in Pakistan who come to Power by US-PAK Army, is bound to be traitor. This is not the voice of an ordinary Pakistani in the street. Zardari, Gilani or Kiyani and Nawaz Sharif do not represent ordinary Pakistani’s interests. We must put both the Politicians and Forces on track. War on Terror is a Scam. It has been accepted by all academics. War is always against a group not against something that you can not touch or see or percieve. Pakistan must get out of this allyship. Because it is not good for Pakistan , China or even India. Remember it started in Afghanistan and it expanded to Pakistan with no logic at all. from here it will go to India and china. Its a design to conquer nations & their resources for economic benefits for few countries who are on the decline with the rise of economic Power in Asia. Pakistan must get out of this scam. Otherwise we will have more.People of Pakistan can help Govt. take that decision.Recommend
The missing deceades families never went to US or did not get diyyat, it was played a drama. Why PM Gillani, his family went abroad, Nawaz Sharif did have heart attack. Because of public reaction Nawaz Sharif’s heart start beating fast, it happens to everyone during anxiety or worries. Probably missing families may in Belgram airport live or dead.Recommend
Pakistani Government Officials should learn a lesson (if they can learn any lessons) from how the US-Govt came to the support of its citizen and pulled him out.
Shame on the Pakistani Government, could not give ONLY Three Million US Dollars ($3Mn) to the Somali pirates to bring back the four Pakistanis being taken hostage.Recommend

Will the Lahore HC also ask the agencies about where the family of Mumbai terror attack Kasav too is ?
How about the families of 9 other Pakistanis slain in the Mumbai terror attack ? Will LHC ask about them too ?Recommend
These politicians keep on making a fool of the people over and over again. I think, and I may be wrong, that a case is probed when the accused is still in custody. When you free him, you do not probe the case. Who have we elected?Recommend
The victims families are in Guantanamo Bay concentration camp run by the US Army.
The news stories of money payment to the families is a lie. Hillary Clinton DENIES the payment of any money to the families.
They were abducted by Blackwater (Xe) and now are being tortured by the US military.
Pakistan is a VASSAL STATE of the USA.Recommend
