IT was quite disturbing to watch Jamait Ulema-i-Islam (F) Senator Hafiz Hamdullah from Balochistan threatening Pakistan Tehrik-i-Insaf Secretary-General Arif Alvi in a live television talk show of chopping off his tongue if he or his party head Imran Khan said anything insulting about Maulana Fazalur Rehman.

Giving open threats in live television talk show needs to be taken note of by none other than the Supreme Court of Pakistan.

Why are we looking for the Taliban in our cities? They are available in ample numbers in our own parliament.

these t.v talk shows are good , molana fazlur rehman and his associates and others including every one will publicly be known for what their thought process is and it is becoming clear now why the parliament and government are unable to resolve any issues because of incompetent people sitting in parliament. incompetent people holding most important posts . yes only illiterate people talk like that . this is what they are , this is what their thought process is and this is why pakistan is not able to resolve any issues and progress.
