No silver lining?

Published December 25, 2014

IT is so vicious, barbaric and cannibalistic to accept the ruthless killings of more than 132 children in Peshawar. How come you are a Muslim, Fazlullah! No, you are certainly not.

Coming to the killings at the Peshawar school, we have, unfortunately, failed to learn from horrific incidents inflicted upon us. The irony is that we have no foresight to be proactive to avoid such incidents.

We are distracted and derailed. Poor Pakistanis are suffering at the hands of these terrorists. There seems to be no silver lining.
