Topi drama of the SC. Why cant they summon the generals? They uphold law and constitution only when it comes to the civilians. Never said no to military coups in our entire history. CJ was about to summon army chief a day before arslan iftikhar case, what happened now? Just talk and no action. So sick of it
@ Sonya,
I can only salute your intellectual level, why not terminate services of FC who are burden on poor country with zero performance to keep law and order.
thanks God some one is there to this issue.thorough investigations should be made and realities should be revealed.
Alas! The liberals of pakistan will have nothing to say now against CJP
Wasnt IG FC was scheduled to appear in the SC today?? What happened? Now summons have been re-directed to Commander FC??? or this something different??
The court may ask its own parties for the purpose, probably the same group who had filed a petition for PM's disqualification.
I hope the liberals of pakistan can shut up now ...
So will they sit and do as directed. Really this country has too many problems to solve.
At Least, Someone is taking Balochistan's Situation seriously. May God protect every inch of our Country as agencies are not gonna do that.
