Land of weapons (III)
ISLAMABAD:
Sehar Tariq’s article is very well-written. The curse of our society is that most weapons are owned by religious parties and their leaders. We are in the grip of religious fanatics and forces of obscurantism. It is ironical that Pakistan was founded in religion’s name and six decades later it’s being destroyed in religion’s name. If we are not able to curb and destroy this menace, Pakistan will definitely end up in the dust heap of history.
