I am shocked to hear Hillary Clinton statement that Pakistan has no right of holding Dr. Shakeel Afridi. She must know that Dr. Afridi is a citizen of Pakistan and subject to the constitution of Pakistan. He violated his primary obligation to render his loyalty to State as laid down in article 5 of Constitution. He was under a duty to pass, if any, information about Bin Ladin, to concerned authorities of Pakistan. He is rightly charged with commission of offence “high treason and conspiracy against State.” According to article 6 of the supreme law of the land, he proved himself a spy and informer of foreigner agencies. So, his punishment of 33 years punishment and fine of 230,000 rupees according to FCR’s law is not adequate. He must be brought to normal courts for trial for charge of high treason.
