The mullah of Swat is being condemned for verbal outbursts against the constitution, parliament and democracy. Can anybody please explain what measures have been taken against the 'gentleman' who practically broke the constitution more than once, dismissed the parliament, humiliated the parliamentarians and ridiculed democracy for almost a decade. He is still receiving VIP treatment in and outside the country. Nobody in the government and establishment has the courage or the will to criticize and condemn him. The elite of our nation has always shown double standards on all important national issues. -DR FUAD SHAFIQ, Lahore, via e-mail, April 25.
