These fanatics should be eradicated once for all so that coming genrations may be saved from spectre of parochialism and insularity. Places which mushroom such unfavourable things should be identified and brought bach to normalcy to deal with the problem.

While our reactive government will say "We are taking all action to find the culprits of this act", they are allowing maulana lal masjid and few other well known jihadist roam freely and allowing Saudi Arabia to continue to fund the madrassahs. Saudi Arabia eradicated Sufism from their land, and are hoping for the same in Pakistan, but I have a feeling it will fire back really badly.

I was reading another news in which Parvez Musharraf has admitted that Pakistan created Taliban and nurtured it against India.
Many Pakistani in the comment section were admiring him because of that.
They just have got another reason to admire Taliban.
When common Pakistani will understand that India will never attack Pakistan and its own devils like Taliban are actually destroying the country.

The law reinforcement agencies have miserably failed to perform. It is waste of time and resources to spend on the broken police forces. The only option left is to delegate the police power to the local elders of the area.

RIP and May the True God of ALL Creation both in heaven and on earth give peace and solace to the families of the injured and the deceased. It is not the failure of security or the government that has brought Pakistan and Syria and Yemen and Somalia and Iraq, and so many other Muslim nations t the state that we see the world in. There is a common thread and it is certainly not security failure, or misgovernment, or intelligence failures. Reasonable men and women, open your eyes and see in the place that you don't see where the evil is. Seek the truth and the truth shall set you free.

@Ketan All these barabaric action are supported by foreighn powers including few Arab Countries and India. How it is possible that without their help this type of horrific incident taking place. If there is a sincere and honest govt., this should gives one last ultimatum to these governments to stop these otherwise face dire consequences. But present govt. feels pleasure by talking to Modi to discuss small matter like World cup cricket. Shame on this government

The best solution to deal with such incidents is to seal off full border with Afghanistan and impose an embargo for 10 years non-negotiable. The only hurdle is lack of courage and absence of leadership in Pakistan.

@Pragmatic India and Pakistan must work together to get rid of terrorism forgetting all disputes. Time will solve all disputes. Pakistan is suffering .India also had suffered and such things may happen anywhere in future also if evils are not eradicated from the society by education, enforcement and eradication. All religions lead to the same goal.Only ignorants fight over them.Even in the same religion,different sects fight for their supremacy There are too many ignorant people. Only liberal education even to the poorest of the poor will help.
