The Difa-e-Pakistan Council (II)

Letter February 19, 2012
Difa-e-Pakistan Council should have instead been named either ‘Defying Pakistan’ or, in Urdu, ‘Dafa-e-Pakistan’.

KARACHI: Given the tenor of their  ‘death-to-all-and-sundry-whom-we-do-not-like’ mantra, and the total absence of any attempt to prevent their rallies from taking place, one wonders if the 42-odd groups that make up the Difa-e-Pakistan Council should have instead been named either ‘Defying Pakistan’ or, in Urdu, ‘Dafa-e-Pakistan’.
