A suicide bomber exploded at Gulshan-e-Iqbal park, Lahore in Pakistan. It is a park for god’s sake and there were a lot of families including children spending their Sunday evening there when the blasts took place. Not much information has been forthcoming, but majority of the dead are women and children. More than 65 are feared dead, a loss that the fanatics will never ever be able to repay.
It is sad that people of Pakistan had to go through this since more than a decade. The blasts have been frequent and have caused so much loss of life and injuries and pain! I could only wish it stopped now than ever! In 2015, more than 1000 people have lost their lives. Wikipedia has a list dedicated to terrorists attack in Pakistan. Go through the link for each year starting 2000, and you will only be human to feel utterly dejected. It is sad that instead of tackling this insurgency, the government and the ISI are busy thinking about India.
In 2015 alone, more than 1000 people have lost their lives.

In 2016 so far, seven terrorist attacks took place in Pakistan killing more than 170 people, injuring many others. This is a carnage on humanity itself and should not be tolerated. These are inhumane conditions to live in, and I feel for the citizens of Pakistan. This is a time of mourning for them, and I too mourn the departed and wish speedy recovery for the injured.
Note to all those on Facebook: Just like many of you who changed their display picture to merge with flag of France and Belgium after the blasts there, I hope you would do the same with Pakistan!
Disclaimer: I am not feeling the loss because it was an Ester Sunday! But it is a shame to see a lot of people politicizing this in the name of the religion too. A murder is a murder, nothing less nothing more.
[…] about being responsible and put things in context, let me redirect you to one of my recent post on bomb blasts in Pakistan. It was horrible, but there was a particular behavior the caught my eye. Earlier this year and late […]
