Opposition politicians in Pakistan walked out of parliament to protest the killing of at least 11 civilians in a tribal area where soldiers have been hunting al-Qaeda and Taliban fighters. ``They were not terrorists, they were civilian people,’’ AFP cited Senator Khursheed Ahmed of the six-party Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal alliance, as saying yesterday. ``Either it was an error of judgment or a planned act and there was no justification for it.’’
On the other hand, MMA spends most of their time walking out. People would probably take them more seriously if they didn't do it that often. |
