The Lal Masjid affair (III)
Why wasn’t action taken against the students of the seminary much earlier?
KARACHI: A simple question that comes to mind, as a result of Lal Masjid, is why General Pervez Musharraf’s government allowed it to become an issue for so many months. Why wasn’t action taken against the students of the seminary much earlier? For instance, when they kidnapped a Chinese national and later two local women and then conducted a ‘trial’ of the latter, ‘convicting’ them of running a brothel? Why did the government allow the situation to get so far out of hand that in the end, a military operation using SSG commandos had to be used?
Who will provide answers to these questions?

Get Ejaz Ul Haq s/o Zia Ul Haq to answer this. He is mainlt responsible for protection of that ‘terrorists gang’ headed by those two demonic brothers mulla Aziz & Rashid. Get him to answe why he had them released when they were caught red-handed while transporting illicit arms & amunition. Ejaz Ul Haq is right now active involved with the other organization of dubious and questionable reputation headed by people like Hafiz Saeed et all. who does not know what these people are up to. By the way they have tacit support of camouflaged politicians like Imran Khan and Jamaat and the crack pot called Hamid Gul.
