Vienna,March 7,2012 Well done Ms.Asma Jehangir.Your sane voice should save the image of Pakistani lawyers damaged by many who showered rose on the cold blooded murder guard of Salman Taseer.There is no news about the abducted son of the assassinated Governor of Punjab.Pakistan indeed needs rule of law accepted universally not concocted in Pakistan under mullah pressure or the military pressure.
