It is unfortunate, no one including IK has any remorse on these merciless killings and kidnapping of polio workers. nirale sirf jaali news laga kar khosh hotay hain.

I thought Imran Khan would take personal interenst in this drive and I appreciated his move, but now it seems that he was playing old dirt paki politics.

Two polio workers among six kidnapped from FR Tank - DAWN.COM

PESHAWAR: Six men including two polio workers were kidnapped from a rural area in Frontier Region Tank, official sources told Dawn.com on Monday.

Sources said that a driver accompanying a team of polio vaccination workers and three Khasadar security personnel were also picked up by unknown people while the team was on routine duty in Peeng village in FR Tank.

Sources added that the kidnapped men included Dr Khandad and Fareed Taleem Ullah, who were working for the polio vaccination program.

No militant group has so far claimed responsibility of the kidnapping.

The incident comes a day after a policeman deployed for a vaccination campaign was killed in a bomb attack in Peshawar.

FR Tank lies on the outer boundaries of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s Tank district and separates it from the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (Fata) governed by tribal laws.

Pakistan is one of only three countries where the crippling polio virus remains endemic.

According to the WHO, Pakistan recorded 91 cases of polio last year, up from 58 in 2012. It warned earlier this year that Peshawar is the world’s “largest reservoir” of polio.

**More than 40 health workers and police personnel providing security to teams administering anti-polio drops to children have been killed in incidents of violence in the country since December 2012, according to a tally by news agency AFP.

You are one hopeless and bitter old sport.

Even if Imran or PTI find cure to cancer (please say God forbid), you’d still be moaning and throwing toys out of pram. Do you honestly care about Pakistan at all or it’s always about political point scoring for you?

Forget Imran, the entire Pakistan cannot can thank enough to polio workers and volunteers for their sacrafices. These are real heroes of Pakistan, doing work to serve humanity not Imran. Thousands of troops have been deployed in the City to protect these workers, thousands of children are getting vaccinated everyday. What do you think Imran should do, pull an ANP and halt polio drive because of violence? What if there’s a full fledged operation next month, then what?

Despite the terror and danger, the polio drive must continue. It’s not about Imran, it’s about Pakistan.
