Some people are trying to destroy the great image of this trible area. that's it...

What if those girls are not innocent, what if some politicians are trying to attack the BMP police.

As everybody knows that there are two aspects of everything. in this case, some people maybe trying to abuse the BMP police. i m not saying that the report is wrong, but if you are the rational people of Pakistan, you must think about this issue, Our media just can see what the higher post leader let them to see. So the newspapers did not focus on the both sides, as the electronic media like GEO TV does. I am sure that after few days a report on other aspect of this case will appear soon.
