Silence of the wolves: First the Ahmadis were attacked …

One does not know what is more shameful. The consistent manner in which members of the Shia Hazara community are being killed or the neglect of the government, which stays aloof. Thursday’s attack on the Shia Hazara community is not the first of its kind. In fact, the killing of members of the Hazara community has been conducted under a plan over the past couple of years with several killed in different attacks – targeted killings, bomb blasts and other means. But no one has been convicted for these heinous crimes.

As a result, we are seeing the exodus of one of the country’s most talented communities. Hundreds of young men are setting sails for Australia and other parts of the world, most of them illegally, knowing fully well that many would die during the journey. They say there is nothing for them in Pakistan. And given how things stand, they may possibly be right.

Their pleas go unheard. Their murderers are not arrested. The militant group that attacks them and proudly claims that it does so, continues to remain unhindered.

Instead of catching the bull by the horns, we continue to ignore the problem. First the Ahmadis were attacked. Then members of other religious communities. Now it is Muslims of different sects. What next? When will we wake up from our slumber and realize that unless we deal with this problem, gradually no one will be left alive or unaffected in this great country of ours.

  1. UKilling people of minority by militants of mullah is very normal in Pakistan. The government has no control on these armed mullah armies. These armies are created by government and army of Pakistan in last 30 years and now they are out of control jinnie. Mullah can give order of execution of any body any time because if he thinks that you are better dead than living. Free money and weapons are coming free from other countries.
