For once lets appreciate the security forces personnel who arrested these terrorists. Notwithstanding their corruption, inadequate number and lack of training they have been giving up their lives in large nu,bers lately.
Who will ask these terrorists when their leaders made alliance to contest in Elections? They are more secure in prison.
@ahad This will happen if we et lucky.otherwise the usual routine is that they will be release due to "lack" of evidence. And will get Back to work as usual.
Election Commission should take some input from Police & security agencies before accepting papers of hate mongers like Ludhianvi & Farooqi.Its their incitement that has actually killed people like Sibte Jaffer.
Nothing Will happen, there's no justice in Pakistan.... Courts are tools used by elite class to suppress poor.
Like other killers, they will live all their life enjoying free food and services on tax payer's money as death penalty is not used in Pakistan.
