I live in Canada. Here Indian Pakistanis endorse each other do business and make money. I dont understand why cannot they live with peace back home. Had Pakistan was more focused with Terrorism than India, this would have never happened. Now I know few leaders will blame India for this. But think about it, who will benefit from this in Pakistan? Think hard...
What benefit do you have if you neighbors house catch fire...
Just my 2 cents

Pakistan now is sickenning; not a day goes by when ther e is not killing. Jus imagine; if you cannot live peacably with your own; how on earth can you with the minorities and others. Other nations. We are now becoming a laughing stalk with rest of the world. Butchers; murderers; and all of this in the name of religeon - disgusting.

In any other country, bombings like these would have put the entire country in a lockdown with security forces leave no stone unturned to punish the culprits. It is business as usual in Pakistan. The government simply Does Not Care!!

First Pakistan govt should make arrangements to build more mortuaries to keep the bodies safely instead of keeping it on roads. It should be really an asset in future. Wait for more bodies. Pakistan is crying for the fate of Muslims in India and Palestine. Hundreds of Muslims are being killed in Pakistan. First protect your own people. Then look after the welfare of others. You should reap what you sow.

Sad scenes.How can humans do this to our own race?
First, the police officer in the area should be punished, along with all his superiors. Second, the Corps commander responsible for this area should be punished. And last, but not least, the politician representing this area should be punished.

This reminds me of those famous lines -
" First they came for the Hindus and I did not speak out because I was not a Hindu.
Then they came for the Christians and I did not speak out because I was not a Christian.
Then they came for the Ahmediyas and I did not speak out because I was not an Ahmediya.
Now, they're coming for the Shias and I'm still not speaking out because I am not a Shia.
Let me not be surprised that, next, when they come for me, there will be no one left to speak out for me.
