I would partly agree with you that Govt. is not sincere in any serious business of Pakistan but we should understand that this issue relates directly with media and media is very much strong now a days that they would either bent the govt. or force to expel them.

Everyone know who killed the journalist and noone has power including Supreme court to take action against them. They are superior than anyone. Zardai govt cant do much. He is under that power as well. Whole pakistan is under their mercey.
