Khawaja Asif wrote in his tweet that it means ‘attacking security forces is halal and PSL is haram’. No sanctity for the lives of our army and police?

Khawaja Asif sarcastically repeated the phrase of Najam Sethi’s tweet that “Satisfaction is that PSL is safe” and said that it is our elite who only care about their own interests. National security and precious lives are of no value, he added.
