Oh ok, playing the 'Lost in translation" card again are we?
Having a peaceful protest is the right of any citizen in Pakistan. Imran Khan and PTI exercised that right. They didn't call their supporters to arms...
As for your second point, there is no shred of evidence that the attack on PTV was planned and executed by higher echelons or any echelon of PTI.
And there was no attack on Parliament. You sir need to re-examine the chain of events.
Aap ko Imran Khan say zyada masla hai ya Altaf HUssain say muhabbat?
I am having a hard time differentiating between the two, since your posts contain more IK and less AH.
Your whole argument is based upon "Us nay yeh kia to mainay bhi yeh kia". And since you are comparing two different things, your whole argument is wrong.
Just a minute, let me build my time machine then we can go and correct it.
No, just recalling the context in which words "We will see whose blood will follow" were said. It isn't a threat to the military, rather an answer to the Sindhi nationalists leaders who were a day before chanting "Marson Marson Sindh na Deson" and saying something along the lines of "River Indus will redden will blood if you talk about division of province" un-surprisingly it didn't get much coverage. I hope that you see that I am not exactly trying to defend Altaf Hussein, what he said about army was wrong, however lets keep facts separate from fiction. This and something starting with calling for RAW, that wasn't a good way to express his anger at being called a foreign agent, even if sarcastically.
Peaceful protest might be, however I am yet to come across any law which allows political parties to take an unusually large number of people on the streets, march to a city, blocking all traffic and effectively bring the capital city to halt. Not to mention, attempt to force a democratically election PM to step down through dirty tactics. In the meantime causing extensive damage to the country's image and costing millions of dollars to the economy. And for that? A failed adventure! Returning unsuccessful and now being exactly where they started, back in the same assemblies of which they sought resignation from initially. Seems lawful to you?
There is no shred of evidence? What was the phone call between Arif Alvi and Imran Khan? A directive to buy him clothes? Because I remember something to the effect of "Good, maintain the pressure" after Alvi told him how party activists have entered PTV building. You aren't telling me that PTI workers suddenly decided to enter and ransack the office of the national television, right?
That is the difference, I have the courage to call wrong as wrong. Without resorting to rationalization or defending others. I have condemned AH for his remarks against army, what I don't understand is the selective condemnation from the rest of the son of soils. That and the sudden realization of the military's image from the same assemblies in which politicians have themselves cursed the same institution.
Yes, my argument exactly is "he did it too!". I am seeking an explanation for the unequal behavior in this country.
The delaying of Saulat's death penalty was done through legal means. Zulfiqar isn't just some activist, he is an ex-chief minister and the police had relations with him. He didn't just attack some police station, it was people under his influence. He's a proper badmaash. If he was a mohajir but had the same relations and influence, the exact same would've happened.
Don't try to make it about ethnicity, that's the worst possible way to go about it. Injustice in Pakistan is uniform across ethnicity.
Even if it was, which it wasn't since there was a committee formed soon afterwards investigating the reasons for his video-taped statement literally before his death penalty was about to be carried out, why exactly are we trying to bend the rules? For what? Has something even remotely similar ever happened before? Is there a precedent?
It is about ethnicity. Yes, a MQM activist doing the same would have received the same support from the police-man in his area of influence, sure, but I strongly doubt that he would have received the same support on social media or the rest of the country would have kept quiet, treated it as regular or politicians would have let it go. BTW he's trending hot with supporters from around the country praising him for his courage, valor and what-not. Even injustice isn't uniform in this glorious republic.
