It may sound a little amusing when the interior minister talks about security laps. However, one must also keep in mind that our security forces are working with primitive gadgets, whereas the militatnt are funded and supplied state of the art equiment and most lethal aresenal by the external forces. On top of that these mercenaries buy out loyalties of the people working for law enforcing agencies by paying handome money. Simultaneously, some of the relegious groups are also busy in brain washing. The most regretable part is that the killers even use childern as suicide bombers. Now they are using improviised explosive devices (IEDs) but create an impression that the act was performed by a suicide bomber.

He is the interior minister of the country and he is still demanding things not ordering. This is the height of incompetency.

It is fashion to blame government if anything goes wrong. I believe government is doing it share of the job, now it is duty of public and religious groups to respond in good faith. All religious, political processions should be held in banquit halls. Huge processions can be held at city grounds or special prepared places (such as karbala gamay shah and minto park). Thus, control on security will be much comprehesive, public will be at ease and traffic will remain normal.
