The militants in a bid to disrupt the operations in North-West Pakistan have started to target major cities in Pakistan. This time around, it was the peaceful city of Lahore which has suffered at their hands. The terrorist attacks on religious places and religious events, serve to install an environment of sectarian and communal tension. The blast at Haider Sain Darbar is an act of cowardice carried out by people who hold no regard for any religion or belief. The act should be condemned by every quarter of society so that the terrorist can realise that they have been rejected by this nation and have no support base in the people.
