Re: LEJ co founder Ikramul Haq hanged in Lahore
You are trying to mix two different terrorism cases and calling justice as selective justice. You should know that there are several groups killing in Pakistan. Some are killing as they want their rights, some are killing because they want independence, some are killing to eliminate their political opponents, some are killing for revenge, some are killing for criminal reasons, and so on. Anyhow, none of these people are killing to impose their will and deviant sectarian beliefs over the nation (Pakistan) and fighting the state (and army) to get into power, except those who are killing and spreading terrorism in the name of religion and their deviant sectarian beliefs.
Pakistan army may be fighting at regional level against those who are fighting for independence or for their rights (as in Baluchistan), but at national level, Pakistan army is only fighting those killing and spreading terror in the name of religion and their deviant sectarian beliefs, as these thugs are threatening the whole nation. No Pakistani, wherever he maybe, is safe from fitna of these terrorists (religious or sectarian terrorists).
Since all other killings that is happening in Pakistan, can (and should) be sorted out through political dialogues and bringing equality (and prosperity) in the country, through police and judiciary, or through giving rights to deprived and persecuted, but when a group is challenging the state throughout Pakistan in the name of religion wanting to impose their deviant sectarian beliefs over others using force (killing and terrorism), only solution for these terrorist group is military court and those guilty have to get hanged … and that cannot be called selective justice.
There is no difference janab. Killer of people saulat mirza is still alive and those with charges of one murder or attempted murder are hanged.
It is not about whether akram should be hanged or not, sharia pronouncement of qisas should always be there but such differentiation will only divide our nation.
