Meanwhile, talking to media CM rejected the rumours of imposing curfew for search operation and said that army would not be called Gilgit to maintain law and order
It is with great sadness that I see too little being done about “law and order” .. and once again we are looking at passing time and making promises that will go nowhere.
The deadline should be kept, promises upheld and the criminals brought to justice. The whole government and establishment should be sleepless and motivated till the time these culprits and their masters are caught, tried and punished. NO EXCUSES … WE NEED RESULTS.
