Additional IG to investigate a shoe throwing incident? Speaks volumes about the deteriorating law and order situation. For more serious crimes such as rape, acid throwing, child molestation, kidnapping, murder, mob attacks, terrorism, we don't have any investigators to conduct the investigations. Hence, we declare them stakeholders for talks, as we did with ASWJ, Chotta Gang, TTP, LeJ. Order restored!
Journalists are shot and killed but nothing comes out of the investigations........now a journalist throws a shoe and misses and its being investigated. Something is very wrong here.
Good move. they bring embarrassment
ha ha ha got what he deserved...or may be more in future.
