Dr Qadri

Published June 15, 2014

Can Dr Tahirul Qadri explain who is he to tell the government to hand over Islamabad airport to the army on his arrival?

If he is so scared why is he coming to Pakistan at all? Why does Imran Khan not confine himself to Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and sort out the multitudinous problems there? Why does he think he represents Pakistan?

Can our interior minister explain where he was the whole night when terrorists were busy doing their job at Karachi airport?

Can our prime minister explain what his negotiating team was doing for a good three months (except having good food) when the TTP and an Islamic group from Uzbekistan made the entire country dance the whole night?

What were our Sindh stalwarts doing when a handful of foreign militants were living and thriving in Karachi? Can the DG CAA explain why the weak spots from where those few terrorists entered the airport remained unattended?

There are hundreds of questions which we have in mind but only if someone comes up with true and honest answers.
