Yusaf Khan | 13 years ago | Reply This killing was a message to the PML-N leadership in the Punjab also - dont get out of line or else..... All Pakistanis must rise up and fight this menace. This will be a long and ugly fight but we have no choice; either we fight now or become colonized by these barbarians.
