Why arrest these criminals? Just shoot them at sight. The courts cannot do anything
Remember when MQM was crying/yelling very loudly about the Taliban infiltration and their surrounding of Karachi.
Most of the people made it sound like it was against the PPI and Shah saheb etc.
I guess Altaf Was correct after all.
Just watch our civil courts let them go free in a year or two.
Why it takes so long for the police to arrest the murderers after the passage of such a long decade when most of the people had nearly forgotten the incident. THERE EXISTS A FAMOUS JOKE WHICH WE HAD BEEN HEARING ABOUT IN THE PAST. THIS JOKE pertains to the police of various countries. A group of people from different nationalities were sharing and praising about their police vigilance in detecting a crime and arresting the culprit involved in dacoity. WHEN IT CAME TO OUR COUNTRY STATUS .... Fortunately, our police topped in that list as they were confident enough to inform in advance as to WHEN, WHERE & WHICH GROUP will be committing the crime. WISH OUR COUNTRY POLICE FORCE BECOMES ACTIVE AND ARREST THE CRIMINALS IN LETTER & SPIRIT. !!!!!!
What about Master Mind Shahid Hayat?
