'Attack on Ahmedis due to links between PML-N, Taliban'
Punjab Governor Salmaan Taseer has said Ahmedis had to face gun-and-grenade attacks inside the places of worship in Model Town and Garhi Shahu due to the close relations between the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz and the Taliban, a private TV channel reported on Friday.
In a message on a social networking website, Twitter, Taseer said both banned outfits, the Sipah-e-Sahaba and the Taliban militia were united and Punjab Law Minister Rana Sanaullah was supporting the banned outfits in the province.
He said the extremists were receiving "VIP treatment in the Punjab jails". Taseer said the provincial government had again failed to punish the extremists, who were still in the jails in Punjab.
