Pakistan: Govt's silence over terrorism shocking

Opposition leader Khurshid Shah has said that Islam is being defamed by terrorists who have nothing to do with ideology and practice of universal laws of Islam. While talking to the media on Saturday, he said that the government has only concern with hike in taxes and prices. The Opposition would protest against the silence of the government in the next session of the National Assembly, said PPP leader. He said that he would like to appeal the masses to defend themselves without having any expectation from the government as it has nothing to do with their rights of life and property; rather its motto is to collect funds in the name of so called progress and prosperity. He said that likely All Parties Conference on terrorism postponed due to stubborn attitude of Imran Khan. Commenting on MQM’s secret communication with the PML-N and the PPP, he said it should avoid riding two horses at the same. Politics is a serious matter not a child play. Furthering his statement, he said that the people who are shedding blood of innocent people for their vested interests are not actually Muslim. He concluded that the entire nation from Karachi to Khyber should stand in face of terrorism by shunning away their fear.
