The Shikarpur tragedy

The brutal attack on an imambargah in Shikarpur in which nearly 60 people have lost their lives is a clear indication that terrorists are very much on target whereas we as a nation are still confused. Our political leaders are part of the problem.
Sectarian violence is on the rise because the government itself let those violent, outlawed organisations off the hook. We do not need any foreign enemies because we have enemies within ourselves and they are growing at an alarming rate. The government on the other hand is totally helpless. It has even failed to provide basic needs to its people. One thing is for sure: the barbarians are not going to stop killing innocent people no matter what measures are taken. We need to pray for a miracle instead.
