Shahbaz Sharif wants better coordination with Taleban

@DD

Well if you hate Shahbaz then nothing can convince you.

Please find a previous instance of me ‘hating’ on Shahbaz. To my mind, it was a boneheaded thing to say as a CM, a bit of a freudian slip more than a well-considered statement, indicative of what their mindset is. For which he is receiving a completely justified flogging now. A little more of this flogging and PML will finally dissociate itself firmly from the militias.

I dont keep a record of SS’s statement,

Cop out. Google exists so people dont have to keep records in their heads.

but, this particular one is being blown out of proportion. He never seems to suggest that he shares political goals with Talibs, only the contrary he suggests that they do not share goals with Taliban, bcause there acts show that they dont.

Again, on what basis do you say this. You have completely reconstructed his statement, implying a completely different intent. You offer absolutely no basis for this reconstruction.

Its simple, if he has a track record that suggests he doesnt share their goals or legitimises their agenda, you can substantiate that.

Forget about the translation to “if” or “thus”. He used the term “agar”, which translates as “if” and not thus.

Fair enough. Now all you have to do is justify your reconstructed sentence.

I don’t know how again you conclude that bcoz he only mentioned Punjab, hence he says they share goals. You are putting words in his mouth.

I never said its just because he mentioned Punjab. Punjab is the consequent of the shared goals hypothesis. He mentioned Punjab because thats where they are ruling, and if it is true that PML and Taleban share the same goals, and because of the political activity of his party (opposing kerry-luger bill), punjab should not be attacked.
