He dont deserve to be called "Sir". Wt he did for the nation?
He was one of them who supported operation Lal masjid, where number of innocent children and women killled.
Let us not bring Lal Masjid into every thread.
It was a tragic event but those in the Lal Masjid were also acting as a well armed gang.
You tell me what innocent children and women were doing in the midst of an armed conflict?
The same women and children were wielding dandas and going here and there threatening the immoral people...who authorized them and gave them the right to wield danda on others and pass on holy judgment?
I understand condemnation and peaceful protests but danda wielding women and children are not something i can digest as an innocent moral choice.
Was the government keeping the innocents in the Masjid forcibly despite the tense and volatile situation or were the Maulana and his family conveniently and deliberately hiding behind others?
It was a classical case of human shields just as a hijacker hides behind passengers...does it mean that no action be taken?
Best way out is negotiation but sometimes it fails when both parties are not willing to budge.
The person responsible for starting it all was caught fleeing in a Burqa before the operation and yet he and his wife are still talking about revenge and Jihad!!!
I understand that the Lal Masjid affair is a tragedy and many questions are to be asked of why it was not resolved in another way but let us then not blame everything solely on the government as well...the coward who left so many people in the masjid while starting all of it should have been hated by all as much as they condemn the government (if not more) but he roams free now and has the audacity to justify himself and his actions.
Having said all this, Sheikh Rashid is a likable fellow and does care for people in his constituency...he is one of the better guys in our politics but of course is not the model of perfection and has made mistakes.
