and its not just the activists... its a nation wide protest! everyone whose blood gets resonance from the martyrdom of Hussain(AS) is participating in the sit-ins and protest rallies!
This protest has been going on for 3 days, and not a peep from the media? Why?
Shia are nearly 30% of Pakistan's population. Why this discrimination?
The media does what they are paid for but here the whole country takes the payment for doing so who is gonna mourn on you, go back home dear before they get you....!!!
Agreed with Ali and Altaf Raja
Thats is? Its the 3rd day now and this is the news our Media finds? Now pics gallery???? No nothing???
why is our media so biased against Shias??? Hindus are protesting at karachi press club such a big news Shias doing for the 3rd consecutive days after killing of 200 ppl in the last 5 days this is the only section given????
@ali rightly said wahhabism is a curse on pakistan.
No one cares. Not even the media. This is not a selling story. Unfortunately, we only care when a close one gets hurt due to incidents like this one. May Allah protect the Shias in particular and all humanity in general because no one else cares.
This minimal news without the mention of any group that is being targeted is a proof that Tribune also is following the Saudi agenda. Shame on ET.
