This is the umpteenth article on the case.

You compared it to a Swedish case. This is Why there are long queues outside their embassies and people risk lives and fortunes to end up in the West.

Articles like these won`t shame the Pakis (rulers and their chamchas) into being better humans. They are thick skinned pigs. Their frustration stems from the `interfernce` of the western media that doesn`t allow them to dismiss such cases with the earlier non chalance.

Mukhtaran bibi`s attackers have been freed and have gone back to the village.

sirji, thank you for affording this opportunity to explain what was left unsaid;)

this writer has the firm and unshakeable conviction that as long as the the country is army occupied no long range good can ever evolve...it is simply not in their interest!

at the bare minimum a country needs some institutions that are totally independent and do not shake and blow at the whim of some dandawala ... the prolonged army occupation has shaken...nay ruined the very institutions that are necessary for nation building and nation-function...

as an exercise i might ask a simple query...can we name one institution there that is left intact and we can be proud of?

ps: bibi if my comments hurt, pls. ignore...humari nayyat saaf thee

Mr. temporal #1: I think sir that this article deserves something more than a cynical remark from you. It is well written and makes a good point. And, despite your obvious implication to the contrary, it is not the Law of God that there should be no accountability in Pakistan. And so the author makes a very good point in comparing Pakistan with the way governments of more civilized countries react to such abominations. Pakistanis who stand up for some standards of accountability in the country, like the author of this article, are the true heroes of our country. They deserve encouragement, not cynical remarks.

Can we blindly trust the narration of Mr. Akbar Bugti?


Why the heck not? You do it when you quote unproven allegations by the likes of Geelain against the Indian army in Kashmir?

(insert sauce goose cliche here)...
