Attack on Minhaj ul Quran Secretariat

• June 22, 2014

Saturday, June 21, 2014 - If the SP incharge of operation against Minhaj ul Quran Secretariat brought along characters like Gullu Butt - whose performance people saw on the television - and embraced and patted him for a job well done.

By that I mean love – there is no other word for it – I came to feel for the troops, and the overwhelming sense of personal responsibility I developed for them. Toward the end of my time in office, I could barely speak to them or about them without being overcome with emotion. Early in my fifth year, I came to believe my determination to protect them…was clouding my judgement and diminishing my usefulness to the president, and thus it played a part in my decision to retire. read more...

The Gullu mentality
