The common man continues to fall prey to militants
KARACHI: Lahore, Quetta, Peshawar and now Sindh — Pakistan bleeds. Today when I step out of my house, my family prays for my safe return. They switch on the telly and follow the news. Helplessness prevails. Our security forces somehow were not able to eradicate the evil that befell us. And the common man continues to fall prey to militants. It’s time we spoke up against the lack of safety laws and measures. We must stand together against this malice. Our beloved Jinnah strived for peace until the very end and we must follow his lead. I urge my fellow citizens to spread awareness against this wave of terrorism that inflicts us.
