You left out the political parties, the biggest miscreants of all. Was it an unintentional error or you are afraid of backlash from them.

Good article. However, we have seen time and time again whenever there is a major shift in a political climate, one good example is death of ex PM Benazir Bhutto; it led to raging violence across the whole country. Damage in billions of rupees was done by the mob. People engaging in violence or prompting others should be caught and punished.
Also, no political parties should be allowed to called strikes or any other sort of disturbance that hinders the country’s progress and causes unimaginable loss when shut down for a day. Any political party wanting to call strikes, should pay for it in advance, lets say, deposit a sum of Rs 500 crores to the government, so it can be used to compensate poor people who suffer because of city/nation wide shutdowns.
Any political party unwilling to pay the loss should be arrested and banned; as their interests would contradict the welfare of the nation. Need to introduce all kinds of laws to deter the many many problems in Pakistan.

The kind of people we are living in this environment are always having the habit of burning tyres in suc conditions of protest but the writer has given us a good knowledge about POPs.Also these protestants showed that they belong to the civilized society and they have given us a good message so that we people could follow it in the future.

It was the Shia muslims who were protesting all over the country to show solidarity with Hazara Shia brothers in Quetta. Shia muslims have given a lesson to everyone on how to stage a peaceful protest.

I doubt even 1% of those protesters who burn tires know English and even if they do, would come on Dawn.com to read an article against it. Get real !
