Asma’s Allegation
 By Col. Riaz Jafri (Retd)
Rawalpindi, Pakistan

According to a news report a Ministry of Defense spokesman has expressed concern that Ms Asma Jahangir – a senior Supreme Court lawyer and human rights activist - has publicly accused the intelligence agencies of plotting to assassinate her.  This is a very serious allegation for which she should have l odged a proper complaint in a court of law and provided necessary evidence so that the matter could have been properly investigated and appropriate steps taken, not only to safeguard her life but also to expose the elements who wanted to eliminate her.

And, if she doesn't do so there will be a big question mark about her own credibility and intentions of maligning the agencies.
