When our entire civil & military leadership bowed down to the US during the Raymond Davis case, he took a firm stand for the victims' families and was removed from his ministry on US pressure.
📍Pakistan — 2011 🇵🇰 vs 🇺🇸
What a spectacle!
Never saw the VCs or Pro VCs of any university that I attended ever come to office piloted by guards - on motorbikes or on foot!

As a successful lawyer, Salman Akram Raja could've easily been another quiet onlooker.
Instead he participated: against rigging as far back as the Asghar Khan case; or raising his voice for victims where only fear prevailed. He did it for all of us.
