Where do we stand as a nation?
The ugly events of September 21 have done the country no good.
LAHORE: The ugly events of September 21 have done the country no good and have in fact damaged what is otherwise a very noble cause. They have left a lot for all of us to ponder upon and ask ourselves where we stand as a nation. Muslims in other countries of the world also organised demonstrations, but hardly any protest became violent. The purpose of this day was to register an international protest and to convey to the naysayers that Islam is a religion of peace. Clearly that did not happen.

I think government should not expect such protest as normal. However, i would held government responsible for such behaviour of nation. As nothing material has been spent by government on the education and culturing a good nation. Rather, a policy of looting other by whatever means is given……………….so why repent now to see what gov is doing itself.
