they are obviously arresting the wrong people.
I don't know who is terrorist but all the labeled terrorists are courtesy of media, so think patiently that our courts are under scrutiny and our media is independent, so by lamenting on webpages please go to courts and help courts in taking decisions. It is not our headache that what other nations think about us, and in each court's decision no one in West raised finger against Pakistan. So please let the courts do their function and rectify the wrong doings of the police. Please understand that our police is corrupt and have the power to accuse anyone. Let the courts scrutunize character of police. We are here to blame anyone as terrorist without any evidence, and our comments are more harmful for nation rather real terrorists, because we have failed to point out any real terrorist.
If you want to blackmail the world with terrorists and guns, then this is the result. Your own police and judiciary are held at gun point to release the terrorists without any investigation worthwile. Enjoy the company of the freed terrorists.
@Cautious
Be careful. The big brother is watching. I pray for your safety.
What has Pakistan come to? No one has the will power to fight terrorism. We can't catch or fight terrorists and when we do we can't convict them. What a joke. No wonder the world looks down on us.
Lahore Court and police are acting on behalf of terrorists. They do not have any interest to arrest these terrorists and bring them to justice, because they are the main curplits whether in uniform, politics, madasrass or mosques. They might have different faces but their motive is one.
And you wonder why the rest of the World thinks Pakistan supports terrorism?
ha.. ha..haa. No hope. All the best to Pakistan.
True to the expectations, terrorist again freed.!!!! Courts have made it clear more than once that conviction of terrorists is beyond them. They can punish only small time criminals and opponents /politicians.
chalo 'stipend' ke paise bach jayenge.
