Anees A. | 8 years ago | Reply @Acorn Guts: Agreed that accountability and justice should be done, but let's not under-estimate what has been achieved by dismissing an MPA. When was the last time when ministers got kicked out!

Napier Mole | 8 years ago | Reply What an eyewash. They do really take public for idiots. First of all he was allowed to slip by those conducting the current operation. Then a few months later he was put on ECL - after his exit! And now this removal from ministership which means nothing. The only news could have been that he has been brought back through Interpol. But then if people like Zulfiqar Mirza roam around freely, then it is obvious that policies of expediency are in play notwithstanding all declarations of impartiality and non-discrimination.
