typical of Shareef tactics ....through Punjabi talibans
A great man
Wao. PMLN shamelessness touching new lows. Threatening their own one-man commission. Can any champion of free & fair judiciary and democracy tell us why hasn't Supreme court taken a Su mouto notice yet at this brutality and state terrorism?
Either it is Punjab Police or Punjab Police.
The police incharge of this man's security is the same police under investigation. Feel sorry for this guy already
He is being targeted just because he is shia. This is shameful.
Seems that Na Maloom afraad-s don't want the case to be heard.
A cheap tactic by Noon. Hopefully truth will prevail and real face behind the tragic incident will be exposed. InshaAllah.
He's an honourable man. Though on the wrong side of the sectarian fence according to the extremist elements in Pakistani society.
