ISLAMABAD: After seeing the Sialkot lynchings, I have come to the conclusion that we are animals, not humans. Our souls are dead and we have no value for a person’s life. We are Pakistan, a barbaric land of 160 million-plus people who consider themselves to be the dearest land of the Lord. This is the land of people who do not value humanity.

When will we then open our eyes? When will we stop?

Dr Muneeb Shahid
