I don’t understand why Ghulam Ahmed Bilour is not being arrested and tried for incitement to murder?
KARACHI: This is with reference to your editorial published on February 5, titled “Bilour’s bounty announcement”. I don’t understand why Ghulam Ahmed Bilour is not being arrested and tried for incitement to murder? In any other country, he would have been behind bars within a few hours of offering such a huge amount of money to kill someone (even if that someone happened to be the citizen of a foreign country).
What about the income tax department? They should ask Mr Bilour how he managed to accumulate $200,000 and whether he has declared this amount in his wealth statement. I remember that a district nazim in Punjab had announced a Rs40 million reward for anyone who killed Salmaan Taseer. If that man had been arrested and tried at the time, perhaps the Punjab governor would have been alive today.
