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.
