KARACHI: This is with reference to your report of June 17 titled “Cross-border attack: Security forces kill 11 militants, regain control of Bajaur”. Our media is quick to scream and cry about violation of our sovereignty by the Americans but why are attacks by religious extremists from Afghanistan ignored? Why don’t our television channels and newspapers bring the whole ‘violation of our sovereignty’ debate into this and highlight it? It seems our salmiat is violated only when the violators are non-Muslims.
