Evil bounties

Author: Daily Times

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.
