@believer: Love your country and love your religion and make Pakistan a welfare Islamic state. Our Government and all of us who have elected them into power are responsible for today's pathetic state of affairs in our country. Love for your country does not in any way hinder your love for religion.
Why all secular parties are targetted? It is not RAW or any other foreign hand(s). All Pashtuns united against the common enemy. The ugly faced common enemy of all of us! United Afghanistan is our dream.
@Awans: no need to love your country. just love religion
Security situation in Baluchistan has taken a downward turn and it is likely to deteriorate further because we have ourselves started criticizing and humiliating our troops for some thing which they have not done. FC and Army are fighting against the foreign sponsored terrorists and are sacrificing their lives just to make sure that people of Pakistan can live in peace. What do they get in return-- false accusations and humiliation. Do we think that our demoralized troops can provide us better security. This is exactly what our enemy wants, so that the terrorist can operate freely without any resistance.
Pakistan a country where blood is cheap and Humanity is defined on ethnic and religious lines. Today PTI, JUI , Jamaat Islami, PMLN , BNP and local parties of Balochistan supported ANP in this strike because of the attack last day on ANP rally But when 18 settlers from Punjab were killed during this month then not a single word of condemnation was heard even from PTI and from PMLN who have a majority in Punjab and even religious Parties like JUI and Jamaat Islami were silent on this as well. Please anybody give me a single reason that why I should love my country where Hypocrites live and where everyone have a different blood value?. Where should i be proud of this land anymore.???? Religion and Ethnicity are two tools which are being used to control our population and to spread hatred and this is the whole story of Pakistan.
