alas. 7 fell martyr in sariab road in firing incident on zaireen bus. next morning 13 hazara civilians were shot dead while traveling in the heart of city and Cm's nephew was assassinated in front of his father's eyes. I say to stop terrorism we need more terrorism. kill all the terrorists mercilessly . and that is the only solution.
Mir Hakmal Raisani was an innocent student of matric class. He is fondly remembered by children of his School. It was so sad to see small child dying. He has fallen victim to the same people who had been killing innocent people and been getting support directly or indirectly from some government officials, media and NGOs in the name of Human Rights. Same day several persons of Hazara community were targeted in the name of religion. Courts have failed to punish the arrested terrorists which have further encouraged them to continue with their treacherous actions. They are busy in political scoring rather than providing justice to the general public. The solution lies in showing zero tolerance towards crimes and criminals. Pakistan should move firmly against this dirty lot and eliminate them. Courts and media has become a luxury in absence of justice to common man and outburst of terrorism
