Babar seeks Nawaz's stance over murder
2011-01-08
[Pak Daily Times] Law Minister Babar Awan on Friday sought Nawaz Sharif's
... served two non-consecutive terms as prime minister, heads the Pakistain Müslim League (Nawaz). Noted for his spectacular corruption, the 1998 Pak nuclear test, border war with India, and for being tossed by General Musharraf...
policy statement over the liquidation of Salmaan Taseer, saying the Pakistain Mohammedan League-Nawaz (PML-N) chief should clarify his party's stance over the killing of the martyred Punjab governor.

Talking to the media after a Koran Khawani held at the residence of Punjab Minister for Sports and Culture Dr Tanvirul Islam, he said that on the one hand the PML-N was condemning the killing of the governor while on the other PML-N Islamabad Lawyers' Wing President Fazlur Rehman Khan Niazi garlanded the murderer of Taseer, Mumtaz Qadri. "Why did Fazlur Rehman Niazi present flowers to the assassin of Taseer? Is it the party policy of the PML-N?" he asked, adding that it was not the policy of Nawaz, but he must issue a policy statement to clear his party's position. Babar, pointing at opposition leader Chaudhry Nisar Ali in this regard, said that nothing could happen in the PML-N in Pothohar without the permission of Pothohar walay. He said that all this had made the PML-N's position on the matter suspicious and it was direly needed that Punjab's ruling party cleared its position as to whether they were on the killer's side or they would stand with the patriotic people of the country.
My guess is that they're on the killer's side. What's your's?
