and political parties are not? the reason other political parties with no extremist connections are opposing is because they have ethnic/militant wings too and their dacoos, killers will be tried in military courts and they won't be spared.
Thank you for telling the reasons of opposing of Imran's PTI
It is very sad for me to see how the political forces were used to weaken elected government and democracy and now trying to use Saneah e Peshawar for more gains . Can they try their men for their links with Taliban/Mujahideen ? . No need of new courts , They can court-martial

Exactly. If they are sincere start court marshal with General Hamid Gul the creator of illegitimate Taliban. There are a number of black sheep hiding behind generals. Start cleansing the dirt with in army first.
Amend Pakistani constitution and expunge the word "Islam" or "Islamic". Declare Pakistan as secular state, if really "Phajay ka Paya wants get rid of terrorism from the country.
The opposition leader said the govt should instead amend the Army Act of 1952 before establishing military courts.
I can tell them an easy way , workable and productive , They can amend the law about anti-terrorist courts with setting up new special courts , appointing additional session judges with an immediate promotion , working in cantonment areas with all military staff and new prosecution teams under army control with some relax to army for evidence . It can work properly .
my post contains reasons for other parties opposition too, but only if you take hate-PTI-glasses off then you will be able to read it.
Ok , Send me your IK love glasses to read it again

Exmpl “Much wanted and precious wider political consensus achieved against terrorism is not lost to smaller issues, the participants hoped.”
what hate-trash talk by you… “they are dividing” as if our politicians are always united on everything that can benefit Pakistan, just look at the damn Kalabagh dam, decades and millions spent but still no work.
What an act of chicken-sh!t by MQM and PTI, they didn’t attend and gave pre-endorsement to ‘rest of the parties’, really disgusting in my view. It just shows that they really don’t know anything about it so they will blame everyone else if something goes wrong.
The issue will be under-discussion till these courts are there .
, Why I support PPP , The leaders of PPP only discussed the issue bravely otherwise all others remained silent in respect of establishment . Sound byte: ‘Military courts cannot try civilians’

If political parties are not going to accept the military courts then they need to tell us why they were unable to prosecute/hang 100-1000s of terrorists captured by law enforcement agencies? why maulana Aziz is waving guns/threats openly?
Whole the nation is more united against corruption but all the top is more united to save the system . tomorrow , you will see them united at Lahore at the palace of the King
maybe that is why we do need the military courts…either the anti-terrorism court was completely incompetent who ordered to hang these folks or the judges at Lahore high court got chickened out

RAWALPINDI: The Lahore High Court's (LHC) Rawalpindi bench on Monday acquitted four death row convicts who were earlier handed the death penalty for their involvement in the suicide attack at Shah-i-Najaf Imambargah in Rawalpindi in 2002, which left 19 people dead and 35 injured.
The four convicts — Fazal Mohammad, Tahir Mehmood, Hafiz Naseer and Habibullah — were sentenced to death by an Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) in Rawalpindi in 2004, following which they had filed an intra-court appeal.

A two-member bench of the LHC, comprising Justice Ibadur Rehman Lodhi and Justice Qazi Muhammad Amin, heard the case pertaining to the convicts’ intra-court appeal today.
The defendants’ counsel Babar pleaded in court today that there was no solid evidence which showed that the convicts were responsible for or associated with the attack on the imambargah.
After hearing the counsel’s arguments, the court acquitted the convicts today.
In the wake of the lifting of the moratorium on death penalty, this case was one of the many pending cases. Despite global criticism, a handful of convicts sentenced to death have been hanged in jails across Punjab so far. Take a look: Multan to hang first death row inmate, January 7
Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif had approved the lifting of Pakistan’s long-upheld moratorium on the death penalty after a Taliban attack in Peshawar’s Army Public School killed 148 people, including more than 130 schoolchildren. Only those death row inmates convicted on terror-related charges have been hung
