Again its all Topi Drama by Punjab Police its just way to cover things for future incidents which are bound to happen sooner or later ...........
Rehman Malik? He's an innocuous guy who keeps stammering stupid things. It's like targeting Mr. Bean :))
not a new discovery, who will punish them for the crime they never did, the court will release them following their old practice. We can't punish terrorists if we don;t throw all old laws and make new laws to safe guard the innocent people. for extremists , we need extremist laws.
This they uncover, but who is killing in common men in khi, woh pata nahi and this they uncover
Why would they kill their political masters in PML-N, Jamat-e-Islami and Imran Khan? The guys in these parties and the "Kaptaan Khan" provide the vital political patronage to these medieval barbarians. Taliban are not so childish as to forget the favors of their "political assets" in our political system.
A terrorist plot always gets uncovered when its the politicians list. Trying to give us a fake idea that even we, politicians, aren't safe?
why to include PML - N, Jamat Islami leaders and Imran Khan as they are in alliance with them
