Zardari’s Outburst

Emotions seem to have gotten the better of the former President Asif Ali Zardari who is generally known for keeping his cool under the trying circumstances. Rangers’ raid on the Karachi Civic Centre has probably tolled the bell for some looming danger that has un-nerved him to the point of his outright waging war on the army and its higher command.  This is the most unfortunate thing to happen. If he hasn’t done anything wrong he has nothing to worry about. And if someone has done something wrong, he mustn’t protect him and allow the law take its course.

A word for those whom he targeted. Please just ignore the outburst and his threats altogether. Do not repeat do not retaliate in any way. No rejoinders, as it will bring you also at the same level as of his which believe you me the nation has not approved of. At the same time, just accomplish the mission of clearing Karachi of the corrupt mafia and do not hesitate even for a second in nabbing the don howsoever powerful he/she might be. This is a sacred task assigned to you and you owe it to the posterity to give them a clean Pakistan to live in. The entire nation is with you and bids you success, and succeed you shall, Inshallah.
