Perpetrators to be brought to justice without any delay . Incumbents whether political or belonging to security should come out of the illusions , much has to be done still to uproot these outfits supported by external factors .

Total failure of the defence and security institutions and administration. Unbelievable that when the senior advocate was gunned downed and take to hospital. Administration and the security institutions should have take the protective measurement to stop the visiting of the late advocate. The hospital should have been take over by the security personal and searched for the terrorists or extremists who clearly planned this and thus loss of so many innocent people.
Politician must open their eyes and give all the possible power to the security institutions to comb the terrorists from entire country and all their helpers and sympathisers. Writ of the state is a must and there should not be any exception. Enough is enough.

NOT just Quetta...the ENTIRE COUNTRY plunges into mourning over this tragedy...
These terrorists are subhuman. There should be NO MERCY in dealing with them and their likes.
The politicians of this country are incapable and corrupt. Army needs to cleanse our homeland of this plague

@Ibrahim Janjuarajput "Writ of the state is a must and there should not be any exception. Enough is enough."
you are absolutely right. Writ of the state is missing. It is a situation of total lawlessness that results into such tragic incidents. Very soon we will see allegations of foreign hand, to divert public attention. But that is not helping those who have lost their near and dear ones. A clear and unambiguous policy of no-tolerance towards all types of terrorists (good and bad) is essential to eliminate the suffering of common people.

Things in Pak have gotten so much peaceful now, this act is done to scare the public. Also this gives the message to the only Pak loving force the Armed forces to keep finishing the job of getting rid of these brainwashed people. I'm glad the actions are taken my the intelligence right away to find out who did this. We will find them, hunt them down. After all it is for the sake of our country, no one will be spared. God Bless Pakistan.

Where is the management of this country? Is the life of a human being is such a small thing? We had learned from religious scholars that killing one human is like killing the whole humanity. Was that right?
