Shahid Hayat is trying to devert the attention of his failure on the going operation..so far raids and arrest has not been made in talibans area..he also belongs to Mehsud tribe....police can present any body as witness..go to any court in pakistan,people are ready to become witness with money
Shahid Hayat should concentrate more on what is happening presently and to restore peace in city.It appears that he is trying to bring lot of past controversies alive than concentrating on present. He is trying to to assume much greater role than his present position. He is well adviced to concentrate his efforts on present crimes
What does the murder of 6 key witnesses tell us about the accused? Guilty, Guilty Guilty
@Ishrat Salim: please do not put life of anyone in danger.
Oh my God!.. .... May Allah give him long life... which seems not.
The new witness protection law will be a test case on this issue.....let us see how well our legislatures are.....
Please dont tell the public anything about this persone. We would prefer he stays alive unlike all other witnesses
