The increasing trend of shrines being the target of terrorists is alarming and points towards growing insanity and hatred in the extremist forces.
These shrines represent peace and harmony as the saints buried there always worked to spread love and peace in the society.
Due to the distorted views of the extremists on religion, the forces who stand for peace are suffering badly. It is the responsibility of all the provincial and federal governments to improve the security arrangements outside different shrines. It is important for every responsible citizen to safeguard the religious and cultural traditions of the subcontinent and should not let the extremists hijack them and implement their own version of religion.
