Phattoo | 8 years ago | Reply Ban all activities in the city, sit in home don't go out on streets, don't go to school or colleges. Don't go to work. Is this is where we are heading. I would suggest to BAN the Government who is a total failure in stopping the violence. Ban PPP who is totally corrupt and failure to maintain law and order in the city. Ban justice system who are promoting violence in society. They never punish the back bone of terrorists. Because they feed them. Grow up Azam Khan, throw away the chusnee of ignorance.

Azam Khan | 8 years ago | Reply Ban all religious processions altogether, by law. Once and for all this problem will come to an end. It doesn't matter whether it is Sunni, Shia, Christian or Hindu all processions on the roads of Pakistan be banned all together.
