The chiefs of all law enforcing agencies should resign and the government should be sued for millions of $ for not providing security, a prime government responsibility.

Pakistan desperately need a leader. This terrible situation is a token of worst government in Pak's history. We should pray to Allah to forgive our sins and bless us with noble leadership.
