Re: The city of Banu under siege: Mullahs kills women and children
i did say lal masjid wasnt entirely in the right. yet the media hyped up, lied and the government actions are still questioned. the whole thing could have been sorted out. the lal masjid affair wasnt off the political spectrum of pakistan
Sorted out how? By letting them escape justice for their multiple violations of law? The government's demands were simple and just. Pakistan has several laws that the Lal Masjid broke; the government simply asked for surrender, arrest, and trial.
Given recent court rulings against the government, you cannot argue that the courts are simply government tools. The Lal Masjid's people would have had a fair trial to prove whether or not they did anything illegal.
Instead, they refused to surrender, and chose to attack the soldiers sent in to seize them.
