Gunmen kill 6 polio workers in Pakistan

Re: Gunmen kill 6 polio workers in Pakistan

It sounds racist because it is. The health workers murdered were also from KP and Pathan trying their best to vaccinate children. Pathans are no more ignorant than the rest of the country.

This story has upset me so much. We already have odds stacked against us as Pakistanis without adding polio to the mix. all I can think of are the children who are going to suffer.

All is surprising and sad

Re: Gunmen kill 6 polio workers in Pakistan


At least 3 in the list above have personally condemned the polio workers. Munawar Hasan would actually appreciate the murderers let alone condemn their act. But in any case, if Imran is above these petty corrupt politicians then the best is expected of him. I am looking for even a simple one line statement from him. And the reason is obvious. He has not condemned Taliban clearly earlier in some other instances.

Re: Gunmen kill 6 polio workers in Pakistan

@koji. IK negotiating with Taliban now about it. And it's take time for him to passs a comment.

Re: Gunmen kill 6 polio workers in Pakistan

IK is a chicken when it comes to condemning Taliban I agree, but do we have Taliban accepting responsibility for this or is it a known-conclusion?

Re: Gunmen kill 6 polio workers in Pakistan

Hate the Taliban and their supporters !

Re: Gunmen kill 6 polio workers in Pakistan

I can't believe people can call him a messiah who will move Pakistan FORWARD, when he can not even condemn the most RETROGRESSIVE elements threatening the country's present and future.

Re: Gunmen kill 6 polio workers in Pakistan

^ he might not be a messiah, please let me know what options we have got presently? How many terrorists have been arrested and punished during the past 10 years? Is there any responsibility of the government or those who are out of government or never been part of it? Easy way to scape goat others while the problem lies in the governance and how they have dealt with this issue as well as others. What has been the result of the WOT in Pakistan so far? Shifting of terrorists from one place to another??

Re: Gunmen kill 6 polio workers in Pakistan

I really do not understand on how the Taliban are saying that the anti-polio drive is a western plan to destabilize Pakistan. Are the workers foreigners or locals. If these are foreigners they should be immediately be replaced by locals.
If these are locals, people should be educated about the ill-effects of Polio. Also the killing of OBL has heightened the suspicion of the ordinary person against these drives.

I really wish that this madness would stop. Government has a basic responsibility to ensure that these vaccinations are not stopped.

Re: Gunmen kill 6 polio workers in Pakistan

He IS a messiah to many people.

There are other options available besides this chicken messiah in cohorts with the devil.

It is RIDICULOUS to expect a person unwilling to even condemn the terrorists to actually go ahead and arrest and punish the same terrorists when in power.

Re: Gunmen kill 6 polio workers in Pakistan

This PPP government, along with many parties wishing to come to power, are in denial of where the problem lies. Terrorism can not be stopped by just killing these terrorists because new ones come up all the time. So the government in country must go to the source or the breeding grounds where they are nurtured.

It is anyone's guess what those breeding grounds are. But no one has the courage to even say it, let alone doing something about it.

Re: Gunmen kill 6 polio workers in Pakistan

Please do let me know the options...

In Punjab we still have three options PPP, PMLN and PTI...should we vote for PPP (as they support the WOT)?

For the time being leave all their policies aside, please do let me know what have they done to make the country safer? The party which has not been able to do anything in Karachi, what can be expected from them in the rest of the country?

I have not seen any high ranking official to visit FATA and ask the people living there as to how they could help them in resolving this issue. One thing is for sure the way this war has been fought it has not given the desired results.

This guy Ehsan ullah Ehsan calls media outlets after every attack, whose responsibility is to trace and arrest him?

Re: Gunmen kill 6 polio workers in Pakistan

Most of the breeding grounds have been attacked, but these guys just change their locations. The only way this war can be won is by removing the top brass and giving them exemplary punishment.

Re: Gunmen kill 6 polio workers in Pakistan

If people think we are out of options except him, if people think he is the best hope, and if they think he can do better than present government in terms of dealing with the terrorists whom he can not even condemn today ... then people deserve Niazi mian and they deserve this terrible mess in the form of a country.

Allez-y!

Re: Gunmen kill 6 polio workers in Pakistan

I am sorry but the options that you have got are are bigger chickens as they fear to even set foot in the country.

Re: Gunmen kill 6 polio workers in Pakistan

Nice logic.
Like I said, go for it. Make Imran the next PM. **People who wish to bring him knowing fully well what he is, deserve this country and this situation.

**You pray for HIM be sincere enough to say what is best for the country without fear ... and I will pray for YOU.

End of discussion.
