First of all, let's pray for Shuhada of Hazara Baradri. Secondly, lets pay homage to Hazara Baradri for their sacrifices, forbearance and steadfastness. May Allah give them patience and reward them because its people like these who stand firm under such testing times and refuse to play into the hands of perpetrators of our peace. On a personal note, Hazaras of Quetta are humblest, most respectful and extremely hardworking clan of people. Obviously, they are facing this problem since long and successive Federal Govts have shown indifferent rather displayed criminal negligence, failing miserably to offer protection to these loving, sweet and simple Muslim Pakistanis. It is a consistent intelligence failure at LEA's part as well.
What happended & the way it happened at Muchh is painfully regrettable and not so easily forgettable. But this heinous cold-blooded genocide must have a reason to take place and a purpose to serve? Two purposes come to fore. Firstly, vent sectarianism. Secondly, political instability.
Our enemies have tried every possible trick up their sleeves and none succeeded from terror financing to sponsoring political pawns for sale.
Govt has miserably failed to handle the whole affair intelligently. Consequently, leaving voids for political/ media circus to fill in. Immediate visit of PM was the most appropriate option. Like Jacinda, he could have hugged the bereaved to alleviate their sufferings. However, he missed the train which could be subject to security clearance. But political mileage is also lost in the process. So niether the PM could show up on a much needed place on humanitarian grounds nor gathered any political ponits.
But sanity has to prevail. If their demands have been agreed upon, Hazaras should bury their dead. Purpose of delaying burial is pretty much achieved as the whole country rather world has heard and acknowledged their concerns. Further delay is only adding fuel to political optics and media angling on the subject. Finally, those poor souls have taken off and their bodies deserve an honorable send off to the clay where they belong. Sooner the better.
May the test of Hazara community be over. Let this be the last of atrocities committed against them. Those behind this must be exposed and get to pay the price. Ameen
Having said all this and considering the security issues of the PM, and efforts of political gains of opposition, the concern of a sane mind remains unresolved as to how is it possible that terrorists remain unrecognizable and unarrested even after their repeated attacks on the same community in the same area for a long time?
