LAHORE: Ms Tehmina Durrani, wife of Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif, is apparently taking a line different from the government’s on Kasur children sexual abuse scam by demanding that the case be referred to a military court.
In a rare political tweet from her Twitter account on Tuesday, she said: “Hand this entire mess to military courts for investigation coz the system is NOT to be trusted unless it is reformed.” Her tweet echoes similar demands made by the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf, PML-Q, Pakistan Awami Tehreek and others.

Twitter. At Least 126 People, Mainly Children, Killed in Sickening Taliban School Attack. Today’s Taliban attack on a school in the Pakistani city of Peshawar shows a merciless disregard for human life and highlights the urgent need for protection of civilians in the area, Amnesty International said.
At least 126 people, mainly children, were killed when several armed men entered the school and began firing indiscriminately at students and teachers in one of the most shocking Taliban attacks in recent memory. “There can be absolutely no justification for targeting children in this way. This unconscionable Taliban attack is a grave reminder that civilians in north-west Pakistan desperately need effective protection from militant groups,” said David Griffiths, Amnesty International’s Deputy Director for Asia-Pacific. “Of prime importance now is that the Pakistani authorities take effective steps to protect civilians and minimize the risk of this type of sickening tragedy being repeated.”
Witter / ? Nobel for Malala - Dr Adil Najam. By this time next week I hope the world will be celebrating the award of the 2013 Nobel Peace Prize to Malala Yousafzai of Pakistan.
The winner of this year’s Nobel Peace Prize is expected to be announced at the Norwegian Nobel Institute in Oslo, on Friday, October 11, at around 11.00 AM Central European Time (CET). Malala will remain a global hero and an inspiration for all even if she is not awarded the prize. If awarded to Malala, the Nobel prize would have fulfilled the mission and intent for which it was created. If she is awarded the Nobel prize, it will come nearly exactly one year after the then 15-year old Malala was brutally singled out and shot in the head and neck, at close range, by Taliban gunmen, while on a school bus.
