Mehran Bank case

Letter March 18, 2012
Nobody here is innocent, neither the army nor these politicians. Let us face this blunt fact.

RIYADH, SAUDI ARABIA: This is with reference to Kamran Shafi’s article of March 16 titled “Of comeuppances, and superior airs”. All politicians who are being exposed through the Mehrangate scam deserve nothing but contempt. If these politicians had good of the country at heart, they should have refused the money arranged for them by the Inter-Services Intelligence in exchange for ganging up against the Pakistan Peoples Party. They were corrupt politicians whose weaknesses were exploited by all and sundry, including foreign powers. Nobody here is innocent, neither the army nor these politicians. Let us face this blunt fact.
