THE following headlines in the Metro and South section of Dawn (Feb 18) speak for themselves:

‘Pakistan is open for business’, ‘Biggest-ever KLF concludes’.

Just below this was another headline, ‘Five vehicles torched’, ‘Karachi braces for another strike’ followed by another headline ‘Schools closed today’.

It is a sad reflection of what has become of this once peaceful and progressive country.
