1.) Little Orphan Annie's bodyguard
2.) A province of Pakistain ruled by one of the Sharif brothers
3.) A province of India. It is majority (60 percent) Sikh and Hindoo (37 percent), which means it has relatively few Moslem riots....
government, Malik Ahmed Khan, said on Wednesday that arresting Tehrik-e-Labbaik Pakistain (TLP) chief Khadim Hussain Rizvi and other Tehrik-e-Labbaik Ya Rasool Allah (TLYRA) leaders is proving to be difficult for the provincial authorities.
Oh do tell.
The TLP chief and TLYRA leaders were declared proclaimed offenders by an anti-terrorism court in Islamabad on Tuesday.
"Round 'em up, chief! No excuses!"
Speaking to DawnNewsTV regarding the ongoing TLYRA protest at Lahore's Data Darbar, Khan said Punjab Law Minister Rana Sanaullah is in constant contact with the protesters and is trying to convince them to abandon the sit-in. He said the government wants the protest to conclude through dialogue.
Preferred dialogue: "Break it up! Go about your business!"
"Okay."
Yesterday, Rizvi had threatened to hold nationwide protests if the government fails to fulfill the terms agreed in the controversial army-brokered agreement during the Faizabad sit-in last year.
Actual dialogue: "Break it up! Go about your business!"
"Blasphemy! Kill the infidel!"
"Hey! I didn't... Aaaaiiieee! I am undone!"
But "the demands made in the Faizabad agreement cannot be fulfilled as the Islamabad High Court has already declared the agreement null and void," Khan told DawnNewsTV.
"As a point of law, if you and him talk, that don't apply to me and the rest of the nation."
The contentious Faizabad agreement had led to the resignation of the then law minister Zahid Hamid in return for the TLYRA promising they would issue no fatwa against him.
The entire episode is a good example of rule by street mob.
Leaders at the protest had announced on Tuesday that if the conditions stated in the Faizabad agreement ‐ which had become a cause of much controversy for carrying signatures of an army general as a mediator ‐ are not met, they will announce their future course of action via a presser on Wednesday.
