The Badami Bagh carnage is yet another shameful tragedy that Punjab has witnessed.
LAHORE: The Badami Bagh carnage is yet another shameful tragedy that Punjab has witnessed. This is the latest in a series of such tragedies targeting our Christian compatriots and has regrettably happened under the watch of the all-powerful chief minister of Punjab.
Whatever the reason, it seems that protecting the rights of minorities has not been one of his top priorities. Had he dealt with this a few years earlier, even with half of the vitality he has so ably displayed in completing the Metro Bus project in Lahore, the Badami Bagh tragedy could have been averted.
