(Bearded) skeletons in a closet

This is with reference to Musharrafs comment on Nawaz Sharif that he is a closet-Taliban. I fully agree. This is not just his opinion but a view shared by all sensible people of Pakistan. You can judge him by his behaviour of the recent past too; his PML-N has never condemned on record the suicide bombings and terrorists activities of the Taliban. The leadership of PML-N has always preferred to keep a silence on the terrorism-related incidents. In Nawaz Sharifs two tenures in power, the extremists were never taken seriously. The sectarianism touched its peak in 1997 when communal places of worship were targeted in highest number. Nawaz Sharif needs to open his eyes to the fact that terrorism is the biggest issue of this country today. The people are tired of daily suicide bombings and want their leadership to take a position for this national cause. -AMIN SHEERAZI, Abbotabbad, October 5.
