Raymond Davis, a CIA contractor arrested in Pakistan on January 27, 2011 after killing two Pakistani citizens is released on March 16 after the grieved families accepted blood money.
Raymond Davis was not a diplomat and this was confirmed by U.S also and he was here on a special mission of spying for U.S. It is also important to remember that he was not only a killer of two Pakistanis but actually he was a criminal of Pakistan as he was caught with weapons and pictures of some very sensitive Pakistani locations.
Pakistanis have protestors strong against this sudden release of a CIA contractor. Critics are calling it a case only to settle differences between CIA and ISI. Davis wife Rebecca has also said that “My husband arrest is exploited for political reason by governments”.
There was reportedly deepening differences between CIA and ISI which are settled now to an extent in this case and it will interesting to observe how long these warm relations stay on this high note before another such incident occurs.
Country wide rallies are going to be held Friday in Pakistan as main stream opposition parties are calling Davis release a shameful incident and one that has showed how our rulers are under the orders of U.S.
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf led by Imran Khan will hold a protest rally at Aab-paara Islamabad after the Friday prayer which will be the biggest rally of its king since PTI has majority of opposition support other than religious parties.
