Evil bounties
Sir: This
is with reference to your editorial ‘Bilour’s bounty’ (Daily Times, February 4,
2015). Am I wrong or should Mr Ghulam Ahmed Bilour not be 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). And
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 Rs 40
million award for anyone killing Salmaan Taseer. If that man had been arrested
and tried at the time, perhaps the Punjab Governor would have been alive today.
