Rehman Malik's perjury

Identity crisis This is with reference to your editorial ‘Identity crisis’ (June 3). PPP leaders have never bothered about little things like lying in courts. Rehman Malik had to be pardoned by the president to remain in government. Now you can bet that he will be pardoned again if convicted of perjury. Again, no Pakistani minister or politician has ever resigned for even major lapses (like plane crashes, railway accidents, Haj scams and rental power frauds). It is not in the nature of Pakistanis to even talk of resigning when caught lying or looting. Shakir Lakhani Karachi Published in The News, June 05, 2012
