Sectarian divide
By News Desk
December 01, 2024
The rise of social media has amplified sectarian narratives, allowing hate speech and propaganda to reach wider audiences. Sectarian violence has claimed thousands of lives in Pakistan, with incidents such as bombings, targeted killings, and attacks on processions becoming all too common. Sectarian violence disrupts economic activity, particularly in urban centres where different communities live in close proximity.
Pakistan has introduced laws to curb hate speech and ban extremist groups. However, implementation remains inconsistent. Strengthening institutions, strong law enforcement, an independent judiciary, and accountable governance are essential to curbing sectarian violence.
