Recently, the PPP stalwart Mr Zulfiqar Mirza of Sindh has declared on a TV channel that a traitor of PPP deserves death penalty. He was obviously referring to dissidents of PPP stating their open differences with the high command. Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani has repeatedly said that difference of opinion is the beauty of democracy but Mr Mirza has other views on the point.
Mr Zulfiqar Mirzas statement cannot be justified and if his intetnetions are carried out, of coursse hypothetically, it would be totlly unjust, uncostitutiaonal and extra judicial killings. The leaders of the countrys largest political party must show some caution while delivering a statement of this nature.
