Protesting to stop drones drones from killing these barbarians but no protest or condemnation whatsoever when they are the ones to carry out an attack against our soldiers!! Very shameful
Our Army is fighting a war and in war these things do happen. We should feel pride in sacrifices of our brave soldiers. Our downside as a nation is that when few barbarians are killed, their supporters lodge FIR and call them Shaheed but we cannot do anything for our brave soldiers.
Is there going to be any "dharna" against the killing of our people, or is that only to condemn the killing of terrorists?
@IKfan
So we should hold surrender talks with them?
@IKfan: Prerposterous.another pti mantra to create shift in pakistanis.have u forgotten that militants have been flushed out 6/7 tribal belts excluding swat,dir,buner.if pri and govvt fear these animals and don't let army to defeat them in their last haven called nwa,then these monsters will be born every now and then.why is your vision and research so shortsighted.were you born yesterday just like pti.
@A J Khan: and that drone kills innocent people too, children, and grannies, and oh yes, those people are also insane and perverted devils! Yay! Let's kill them alongside it! We OURSELVES should be eliminating these monsters because these monsters are not killing innocent Americans are they, they are killing PAKISTANIS, we should not be letting US do it and as a result create more monsters and kill innocents alongside with it. Now that drones came in to K-P-K I hope it also comes over Islamabad and Karachi and Lahore, I'm sure some militants might be living and hiding in these cities, maybe in Bahria Town, who knows. Just bomb the house without fully knowing US just please bomb it! I don't know any other country in the world which tolerates terrorists such as Taliban and drones on it's land. I HOPE ET POSTS THIS!!!! YES I'M AGAINST DRONES, YES I'M ANTI TALIBAN!!!! I don't care if you don't agree with me and we'll just see how neutral and fair et is, pah as if it will allow it through!!!!
shame on all those who protect these thugs. shame shame shame.
Now you know why IK was asking for talks? Our army can't win with TTP.
imran khan should go and talk to his friends.
