Tere bin Pornistan
ISLAMABAD:
This is with reference to Ahmed Rafay Alam’s article “Tere bin Pornistan” (July 17). I agree with Mr Alam on several points, however, as a patriot, I’m offended by the term “Pornistan.” The disparaging term is a crude mockery of my country’s name, and I take strong exception to it. Two types of people are actively involved in maligning my country: illiterate moulvis and literate moulvis. And I daresay the writer falls into the latter category.
