They didn't listen to Mr Ahmed Raza Qasuri. There is still time to act on his advice he gave on TV.

Great great job for taking action, confronting criminals and sacrificing life for the country. Ultimately the criminals will be arrested and killed. I agree with a comment that dependents of the martyrs should be protected.
