This is with reference to the sad murder of the parents of Honourable Supreme Court Justice Javed Iqbal. Though the tragic incident was shocking for the Pakistani nation, it is pathetic that without any investigation or solid probe, some of our leaders and journalists were speculating that state institutes could be involved in such a brutal murder.
Asma Jehangir is President of SCBA and is a known human rights activist but this is not the first time the lady gave a statement without any evidence and said, There were certain speculations about the tragic incident which should not be ruled out.
The icing on cake was done by a preacher of true investigative journalism (Ansar Abbasi) who crossed all the limits and said, The murder of Justice Iqbals parents seems to create a confrontation between the judiciary and countrys agencies.
Since the SC is hearing the sensitive case of missing persons, our drawing room experts usually love to stir up conspiracy theories without giving a blink to the implications.
If such people are advocate of human rights violations, why do they always limit themselves to certain items while totally ignoring other incidents like the Samjhota Express and Swami Asimananda, the atrocities in Kashmir and Indian state terrorism?
