This is exactly what was being warned (by MQM) a couple of years ago. Talibans have arrived in Karachi and they are trying to impose their rule. The party (ANP) which denied the existence of Talibans in Karachi has already lost its area offices in most localities and is now limited mainly to only two areas. Another Taliban-brotherly party (PTI) will bring the rule of Talibans in another area of Karachi and wider KPK.
are they animals they do not have sense, it is heinous crime on attacking the schools where the future of the country is depending.
Lazy reporting and editing, ET. First you say there are injuries, then right below you claim there are no casualties ? So in your books the injured teachers and students do not count as casualties ? Perhaps you meant to say "there were no fatalities".
It is time you offered me a job.
Disgusting
What, no petition against Taliban brothers in Lahore High Court?
