Re: Why Cant we Counter Terrorism
Punjab Govt's spokesman, Senator Pervez Rasheed has stated that his party (PMLN) enjoyed support in Punjab and his party had no shortage of candidates, so his party didn't need the support of banned organizations.
Senator sahab! Iss saadgi pay kon na mar jaey aey khuda! Your party is weak in South Punjab (including Jhang).Yaqeen nay aey to ECP ki webiste par ja kar 2008 ka result daikh lein.ASWJ( the political face of LEJ) has good support in the whole south punjab.Though, they can't win a seat at their own but they have 5-10K (may be more) votes in every constituency of South Punjab.Since PPP has performed extremely badly over the last 5 years and also there is no more sympathy vote for PPP, so, at present, PPP is relatively weak in South Punjab.Now, according to PMLN's calculations, if they could garner support from ASWJ in South Punjab, they may win atleast half of the seats from that region.We also know that there is no other party in South Punjab (except PTI) with whom PMLN could make alliance to win those seats.
Finally, if ASWJ has nothing to do with LEJ (as ASWJ claims), then it must condemn the killings committed by LEJ (as they themselves not only confess but also vow to continue these terror activities).I would also like to say that the killings of Sunni Ulema in Karachi is also condemnable and whoever have done this must be brought to justice.(I didn't name any organization in this case as no one has taken the responsibility of Sunny Ulema's killings).
