This is a shameful attack by Nawaz Sharif supporters on the PPP offices. I thought that these two parties were allies?

LAHORE
PPP parliamentary leader in the Punjab, Raja Riaz, had to face heavy criticism from some party workers Monday on his silence over an attack and demolishing of a party office, allegedly on the orders of a PML-N MNA in Shahdara. The PPP leader, who was visiting the Lahore party office to address workers, remained silent when a group of party supporters surrounded him and asked him to take notice of the attack by PML-N activists, allegedly backed by MNA Malik Riaz.
**The PPP supporters informed the PPP leader, who had vowed to strengthen the party in the Punjab, PML-N activists had damaged equipment, torn off posters of PPP Chairman Bilawal Ali Zardari and Co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari and razed the party office at Shahdara. He was told the workers had been warned against reopening the office in the area. **However, the senior PPP leader advised supporters to inform Samiullah Khan, PPP Lahore secretary-general, about the issue. He then waved to the supporters, boarded his luxury car and left for airport to reach Karachi.
An angry party supporter, who requested not be named, said it looked that problems of workers would be not solved by the present leadership. He said workers had been regularly threatened in Shahdara but neither any local nor any senior leader of the party paid any heed to the issue. When contacted, Samiullah Khan, also a resident of Shahdara, confirmed the incident. He said it was a condemnable, allegedly action taken on the orders of the chief secretary and the DCO. He said the PPP was in coalition with the PML-N and its members should avoid taking such steps. He said the machinery of the City District Government Lahore (CDGL) had been used to demolish the office, which was a matter of concern for coalition leaders. He said the PML-N leader should take notice of the action taken by the local leadership, which was posing a threat to the coalition.
Re: PPP workers angry at attack by PML Nawaz thugs
ofcourse I condemn them..
Good, and I am sure you wholeheartedly condemn them as well, like I would of any acts of criminality or terrorism by any political party - PML Nawaz, MQM or PPP etc.

I hope 'etc' includes PML(Q), the party that for the past 8 years played the petty role of a rubber stamp parliament, and legalized all heinous acts of a then General turned dictator, and just as their farewell present to him, dressed him up as a dictator-turned President.
PS: Happy? :D I think Not!
PS2: I condemn and always have condemned violent acts across the board, unlike you who has only just developed a soft spot for the ex-ministers who btw, were the very people responsible for a countless number of national crimes and massacres. What compelled you to turn a blind eye to the atrocities committed by Musharraf and his Lota League while they were in power? It's alright if you have no answer. I understand.
Hmm...took you a while, but i guess we all realize what's right sooner or later. I'm happy for you! and nothing else....
Re: PPP workers angry at attack by PML Nawaz thugs
^I see you really didn't have an answer for your lack of condemnation for all atrocities committed under Musharraf and PML (Q) rule.....
How about being dignified enough to remember all the massacres, and jailings of innocent people and condemn those and hold the previous govt responsible for it, before pointing fingers to others.
As we ALL SAW how you always justified their acts! While others were condemning the jailing, beatings, and torture of protesting citizens, human rights activist, school children, opposition leaders, media-men, you and your buddies were busy pointing to where else Musharraf went and what he ate, and what he'll do tomorrow, when all this was happening under his rule!!! ....:) okie dokie? thanks
Re: PPP workers angry at attack by PML Nawaz thugs
^Definately not Saad.
See the thing is, i don't have a problem calling wrong wrong, no matter who it is. The issue i have is RP (who i respect as well) developed a soft spot for Afghan, and i've already condemned what happened in that very thread atleast a few times, just for confirmation sake.
But where was his conscience and condemnation when all the other much much much more heinous acts were being committed under the orders of PML(Q) and Musharraf, himself? Everyone knows the list of those atrocities goes on and on and on......
Re: PPP workers angry at attack by PML Nawaz thugs
Its kinda funny that PPP "workers" are "workers" while "PML-N" workers are thugs knowing what PPP workers have achieved recently.... kewn Reza mian, kia khayal hai?
