  1. A very weak state has made the life of the citizen very. Stat of Pakistan has play a strong role and establish it's writ with strong actions against the criminals and any one using ethnic, religious slogans.

    It's 21:century, we must give up old and primitive methods. We must have strong controll using anti religios slogans or any slogan against any ethnic group upon social media and immediately trace them punish sverely. All public processions like "eid Midad Jaloos", Karbe-E-bla and Chelum as well the poltical "Jaloos"..

    Islamic Republic of Pakistan cannot bear all expenses by deploying Arny, police etc. If any one interested must pay all expenses to state.

    Each sect has it's own Mosques or Imam Bara's and that is the best place to fix those important days and also TV's should be used for the purpose with payments from all religious's sects interested.

    Life and properties of the citizens should be protected with modern equipment and less state money and instead should be used upon people's welfare.
