Britain might have too many of the kind after her. She should be sent to Canada, Denmark or even better Iceland.

why not ship her off to Antarctica or the north pole?

smh

 

[trundler]

Come on, all 3 of those places are great to live in. All I'm saying is UK might actually be dangerous for her.

 

[Victor Ian]

Bring her to Australia!
I don't get blasphemy laws. You'd think all they need to do is make the clerics prove it is in the Quran or sentence themselves as innovators.

Pathetic by May

ugh, turns out this wasn't true. And Britain refused her asylum request

Can't think of a more genuine request

Can't live in England because of too many islamic extremists, has England gone that far down the path of extremism.

Must've been a hell of an effort to find a picture of Imran where he looks as bad as Trump.

 

[smalishah84]

This has to be a first in our history. A sitting minister removed for making derogatory comments.

Good on PTI

Death penalty for Musharraf then.

Oh boy

 

[smalishah84]

just opened TV to find this news. Quite some news.

The big question is enforcement though.

 

[duffer]

Yeah, just popped up on my feed, haven't had time to read about it. Which court and what's the process from here?

 

[smalishah84]

apparently it is a special court. I am guessing this ruling can be appealed in the supreme court so it will be a long drawn out affair. Mush is sick and in hospital in dubai. I don't think they would be able to extradite him until he has exhausted his appeal.

However, its a big deal that a living army chief (even though retired) has been awarded the death penalty by the court (which btw is in accordance with the constitution for suspending it).

 

[nightprowler10]

My immediate reaction was that this ruling will only serve to be symbolic, which tbf is a huge step forward for the nation to discourage military coups.

 

[duffer]

Awful news from Karachi. We're the BLA a big presence before this? I can't say I know anything about them.

 

[honestbharani]

Well, thankfully, it seems to have been controlled and the perpetrators shot, right? Hope all our Pak brethren are doing ok.

 

[smalishah84]

Seems like it's over.

Four people killed and 7 injured so far.

Grim .

Maybe because of coronavirus the place may not have been packed.

 

[duffer]

Some media outlets reporting at least 10 dead now. Do we have anyone from Karachi on here? If so, hope they're all okay.

 

[honestbharani]

I thought Trundler was not far from there?

 

[smalishah84]

Trundler is based out of khi? I thought he was based somewhere out of Punjab.
