Re: Jail Breaks
Because of pressure tactics… Not wanting to be put on the defensive where they might be forced to use ammunition.
The other day the mob attacked a police van and punctured its tires.
“Both, Imran and Qadri have given supporters tacit permission to react in kind if police moves to arrest them or uses aggression”
Another words, you have Imrans blessing to attack police if they use force. no civilized country allows common citizens to use force against the police. In America its a federal offense. Its called resisting arrest.
Police however are culpible here as they are not supposed to release anyone because IK asked them too. But the police are clearly under stress, as they want to avoid creating another situation while maintaining order. Sir majoboori hai is the police officer admitting that in the face of the mob they have their hands tied.
And by the way, IK likens himself to a modern day Gandhi or Martin Luther King. What he forgets is that in a peacful struggle, there is no counter violence against the state. If the police arrest you then you allow yourself to be arrested, and if they use force then you take a beating. At no time do you counter their force with force. What IK is doing is essentially extortion.
At the very least you should admit that its not your job or that of Imrans to be declaring an arrest illegal. You cant be fighting for democracy and then trounce on the very principles you fight for.
