Shahbaz Sharif wants better coordination with Taleban

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.

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

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.

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

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.

Thanks for acknowledging that shared goals is a hypothesis!

Here is the statement of SS as i remember from tv clips that are being played every hour now

sawal ye hai ke*, agar taleban ka ye nuqtae nazar hai ke wo, aghyaar ki dictation key khilaaf haiN,* phir tu un ko punjab per hamley nahiN kerney chahiyeN

i do not see any pleading in this statement, in which case he shud have said, that “taleban Punjab par hamley na karaiN”. The very first part of sentence “sawal ye hai ke”, shows that he is making a case against Taleban by asking a question and then making it stronger by saying that them attacking us is against Talebs and them having a shared goal.
