PTI’s flawed stance

Letter August 21, 2013
Imran Khan did not say a single word about the murder of 2 PTI lawmakers.

ATLANTA: This is with reference to the article “The PTI’s flawed anti-terror stance” (August 20). The writer rightly states that Imran Khan’s demand for a closed-door briefing is understandable but what is stopping him to come down hard on terrorist elements. While taking oath in parliament and giving his ideas about the issues of the day, he did not say a single word about the murder of two of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s (PTI) lawmakers by terrorists. Nearly 50,000 civilians and soldiers have been killed or injured in terrorist attacks, but in his speech, the PTI leader did not even bother referring to these casualties.
