What about the threats against Imran Khan's Waziristan March????
So Mr. Rehman malik knows abt credible threats on mr qadri rally... But he security agencies failed to tell him abt quetta massecre..
The hero that Pakistan deserves, but not the one it needs right now
This guy always has credible threats on all the occasions, as if he is the one who actually devise them all.
So credible threats are announced in public?
Qadri wants dead bodies to exploit situation and bring down democracy. He is working for non-demoratic forces and must be stopped at all cost.
Well done Qadri Sahib you have saved your reputation by getting rid of the curse of Malik Riaz.
Shame on your low non professional comments, Rehman.
Pray there are no attacks and casualties. The nation is still in a state of shock and mourning after the Quetta and Swat bombings.
The threat is from status quo parties hiring thugs to disrupt any march.
What about the aliens threat which the IM forgot to mention ?
