Patronising hatred

Letter July 19, 2011
There is no doubt that the PML-N-led Punjab government is supporting outlawed organisations.

LAHORE: This is with reference to Feisal Naqvi’s article of July 19 titled “Patronising hatred”. There is no doubt that the PML-N-led Punjab government is supporting outlawed organisations. But let’s not fool ourselves into thinking that it is the only one. In Sindh, the banned Sipah-e-Sahaba is now functioning openly, albeit under a new name. So the problem lies with all governments: The one in Islamabad as well as those in the provinces, in that they seem to lack the will to go after terrorists and militants.
