With us, or against us

Letter December 20, 2014
Anyone who has supported these criminals must apologise and regret his behaviour and seek pardon from the nation

ISLAMABAD: This is with reference to Fahd Husain’s article of December 19 titled “You are either with us or with the terrorists”.

First of all, everyone in the armed forces, police, paramilitary forces, government employees and elected representatives should take a fresh oath that they are loyal only to Pakistan and its Constitution. Anyone who has supported these criminals must apologise and regret his behaviour and seek pardon from the nation.

If his (or her) support has done any harm to the country and nation, he should present himself for accountability and punishment. Those who refuse should be court-martialled and imprisoned for the rest of their lives. Without eliminating these people from the armed forces, the government and the elected houses, any victory over extremists is impossible.

Ch Allah Daad
