Desecrating the dead

Letter December 11, 2012
The incident is reflection of growing violence & intolerance in society & against which government seems helpless.

LAHORE: It is very sad that graves of Ahmadis were desecrated by armed men, a few days ago in Lahore. Even more unfortunate was the fact that initially the local police refused to register any case. The incident is a reflection of the growing violence and intolerance in Pakistani society and against which the government seems either helpless or unwilling to tackle. I hope that the peace-loving people of Pakistan speak up at least now, or it may be too late.
