Love Bird Seeking Sanctuary in US

The real issue is shame and scam these two brought on Pakistani Christians...

Federal Minority Minister Shahbaz Bhatti was gunned down on March 02, 2011 by an extremist group in Islamabad. His followers planned to celebrate his death anniversary on Sunday, March 02 but his love bird (Salma Peter John)

(ISLAMABAD) - Federal Minority Minister Shahbaz Bhatti was gunned down on March 02, 2011 by an extremist group in Islamabad. His followers planned to celebrate his death anniversary on Sunday, March 02 but his love bird (Salma Peter John) shattered her silence and shared a video link showing her unannounced relation with late Shahbaz Bhatti. She said, “Cammy was me and I was Cammy” (Cammy was Shahbaz Bhatti’s nickname). She claimed that she lived with him for fifteen years and so they had happy life though she couldn’t manage to marry Shahbaz Bhatti.

Salma worked as his personal assistance – PA to Shahbaz Bhatti when he was Federal Minister for Minority Affairs. And that is what others know about it……. The close circle of the minority minister was very well aware of his activities and thus others knew it as well, but didn’t disclose.

On February 15, one of my articles was printed and my family friend wrote me that article was great but I failed to mention Bhatti’s former “PA” fled to Philadelphia and is still living off another man supposedly active as leader for the Pakistani Christian cause. She mentioned that the big issue is why Christians should trust or respect these who not only deserted their own, but never lived truly Christian life?

The real issue is the shame and scam these two brought on Pakistani Christians – but why is it that no one wants to talk about that? If marriage is Biblical standard and even more a strong tradition of Pakistan, how could these “high profilers” not be held to the standards?

If a man loves and respects you, he marries you – otherwise you are just being used. If the Bhatti family would not recognize her as even his partner in politics, much less romance, but want nothing to do with her, why should anyone else give her time of day? And really when all is looked at, what did S Bhatti do to improve the lives of Pakistani Christians?

From what I hear, everyone knew she was S Bhatti’s mistress, kept by him and that’s how she lived there. She is now shifted to the US but gets no dollars from the government until her asylum case is approved. So how else is she living if not with and off someone else’s support or living on savings from her time shacking up with Shahbaz Bhatti?
