Now get ready for an onslaught from greater Mullah brotherhood and TTP apologists.

Pakistani media is completely biased in this war,in a war and both sides should have equal rights to express their point of view....this paid media never shows the point of view of taliban!

@ahmad:
There's actually been quite a bit of unnecessary media support for the Taliban, which jeopardised operations like Lal Masjid, which seem to have been done for legitimate reasons, but were chastised by the media.

A very good job done Mr .Sub-Inspector Muhammad Younas, We need more patriots like you. Siding with the enemy should not be tolerated.

This part just brought a big smile to my face: "in their drawing room-cum-medical store".
I bet neither of these two gentlemen is a licensed pharmacist.

@Randomstranger:
i agree with you one hundred percent.... we all should have the freedom of expression and freedom of speech.... Violence can be curbed down if we let our anger out by expressing our self, opinion heard are heard and calmly understanding each other. The role of the intellectual / media cannot be to excuse the violence of one side and condemn that of the other.

these Taliban apologists should be publicly whipped, they obviously approve of this type of justice, let them get a taste of it from the other end.

Why is no one talking the banning or reforming the Madarasas which churn out these people?

@ahmad:
Taliban or taliban apologists shouldn't have been given airtime on the media to begin with. In a war you have to choose the side you are on. About the point of view, they have been expressing their point of view over the years and the dead men, women and kids of Pakistan can pretty much attest to the facts.

very good, well done. Sialkot police need to be appreciated for this type of vigil which is very necessary to stop any further spread of Talibanisation. Hope police of other cities / districts will also keep such vigil and bring the culprits to book.

Maybe i'm just too cynical, but the Punjab police doing something in the public interest... just sounds so unlike them. I'm sure there was an ulterior motive.
