Polio vaccination

Published September 1, 2014

SOME militants are thirsting after the blood of lady health workers, police and teachers who go from door to door for polio vaccination. These militants do not deserve to be forgiven. The government should deal them with an iron hand and eliminate these anti-state elements for good.

The government should adopt more effective measures and strategies to ensure the safety of the citizens.

We are in the dire need of a peaceful, educated and healthy nation.

Our youths should have books and pens in their hands rather than weapons of destruction.

Hence, it is also the responsibility of parents to get their children vaccinated against polio in order to ensure a healthy and educated nation for the stability and peace of the state by rejecting and eliminating the anti-state elements.
