JAILBREAKS and attacks on the police in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa are being led by terrorists and now attacks on the police in the Red Zone of Islamabad are being led by reformers. However, the truth is that in the light of the Constitution of Pakistan, the latter too should be considered terrorists.

Imran Khan did not even feel embarrassed about getting his ‘reformers’ freed from police custody and led jailbreaks like the Taliban did in Afghanistan to get their men freed.

The case is before parliament. Will it declare those who freed the suspects terrorists?
