RECENTLY the Hazara community has shown great patience and raised their voices in a peaceful and disciplined manner by reciting the Holy Quran all night and without putting any sort of threat to the state apparatus or public properties, against the authorities who have always turned a blind eye for Hazara killings.

The peaceful demonstration across the country against the killings of innocent Shia Hazara community can prove to be a turning point in Pakistan’s struggle against all kinds of terrorism.

The protests have proved that one can overcome all kinds of evils through defiance and that peace and patience are the most powerful weapons of innocent people through which they can take up any sort of challenge.
