The Awami Natioanl Party traces it's roots back to Gandhi and Gandhi's colleague Khan Abdul Gaffar Khan. That Liberals fond of invoking Ghandi can ignore the slaughter of ANP activists shameful. Below the latest attack timed with the attack on the US Consulate in Peshawar. Via The News.
TIMERGARA: The death toll from the Monday’s suicide attack on the Awami National Party (ANP) public rally jumped to 55 as 10 more injured succumbed to their wounds on Tuesday.

Hospital sources said that some of the 90 persons injured in the blast were still in precarious condition. The Timergara city, the headquarters of Dir Lower district, and its adjoining areas were still in grip of fear and gloom and touching scenes were witnessed during the funerals and burials of the blast victims.

The bodies aren't cold yet, but you are quick to use them to smear "Liberals" for failing to denounce the accused perpertrator.
Now because sixty years after his death these bombings may have been perpetrated by an organization decended from one created by a Gahndi associate,we are suposed to renounce him and his apperently evil nonviolence. You just keep getting more pathetic.
