Murder of a minister (III)
The assassination of Shahbaz Bhatti has raised doubts among ordinary citizens about their own safety.
ISLAMABAD:
The assassination of minister for minority affairs Shahbaz Bhatti has raised doubts among ordinary citizens about their own safety. It is a fact that, for the past few years, moderate voices are being purposely muted by extremist forces in Pakistan. This is a sad fact, but the assassinations of Salmaan Taseer and now Shahbaz Bhatti, have made many moderates worry about their personal safety.
