Hazar Ganji area massacre

Yet one more incident of targeting a particular minority sect.  Around 14 people, including two policemen and a woman, have been reported to embrace martyrdom whereas 30 others are still in critical condition; authorities believe it as a suicide attack on a bus carrying pilgrims returning from Iran.

Not a surprise that our so called independent and liberal media just covered the incident as main headline once and then coverage to given incident went low i.e. little clip about incident. Again not a surprise all major political parties just issued verbal statements against the incidents. Chief Justice on the issue of targeting minority sects has remained quite or not as vocal as he is on issues relating to current government. From Mastung incident to Kohistan incident where innocent and un-armed civilians were made to stand in line and executed just because they belonged to a specific community. And now massacre in Hazar Ganji area of Quetta.

When you see mass demonstrations against incidents like Salala check post attack just because it was a breach of our sovereignty; a question rises that isn’t killing of ordinary, innocent and un-armed citizens in such a manner, just because they follow some other ideology; is a breach of our sovereignty? Why doesn’t the civil society speak against such terrorist organizations? Why doesn’t the lawyer community demonstrate against such incidents? And why doesn’t the Chief Justice of Justice League take suo moto action against such incidents?

It is an agony when people belonging to these outfits are arrested and then released by our independent judiciary on grounds that evidence is not available. On the other hand the men being released openly confess that they have persecuted and will persecute minorities. 

My only plea to an ordinary Pakistani, if you cannot take stand against such barbarians, what you can really do is to to raise your voice against such killings. Why? Because today somebody else has lost their loved ones in this bloodshed in name of religion, tomorrow it could be your house.

Just think over it.
