Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif on Thursday said that the widespread killings of innocent citizens has brought democracy and the existing set-up into question, adding that if the current circumstances persist, Pakistan may turn into “a failed state”.
Talking to reporters, the CM said that terrorism was at its peak in the country, adding that if concrete action was not taken against those responsible, the country’s foundations could begin to shake.
The chief minister’s statement comes days after the bombing in Quetta which claimed the lives of over 87 Shia Hazaras. A large number of women and children were among the dead.
The Pakistan Muslim League–Nawaz (PML-N) leader moreover said that the world powers had used militants in the 1980s to fight their so-called war against Soviet communism and now the same militants were terrorists in the eyes of these powers.
Shahbaz said it was heartening that the country’s media was proactive and critical. He added that the real power of the media and the judiciary would become evident in the upcoming general election.
Mr. Shabaz what have you done to curb or help to curb militant Activity in Pakistan?. You are a part of the system. It is like the pot calling the kettle black. Let us admit we are a dysfunctional state. We boast of being Nuclear but can't protect Our Citizens. Let us not play the shame or blame game. we look to Our leaders for solving of the problems and not for comments.
