This is what had to be done in order to be heard! so proud of all of these pakistanis. No doubt. Pakistanis are capable of protesting peacefully too despite what the news may portray Pakistanis to be. In case you’re not aware of how this all started, it was after some extremists from Lashkar-e-Jhangvi bombed and killed over 80 people, mostly Shias in Quetta . The locals demanded action to be taken against the responsible and protested by a sit-in outside the bombed building demanding the sacking of the provincial government and the imposition of military rule for their protection. Its important to note that the temperature in Quetta currently is below freezing. “The government is either incapable of bringing the situation under control or does not want to do anything,” - Hashim Mousavi, one of the organisers. More to read here, here and here. Without harming public property. Without hurting each other. Without deviating from the original plan: To stand united, to raise our voice. Pakistanis protested throughout the country for their Shia brothers and sisters - from major cities like Islamabad, Lahore, Karachi, Peshawar, Quetta to cities like Sibi, Moro, Sukkur, Hyderabad, Muzzafarabad, Chakwal and beyond. Because it didn’t fit the “angy mozlem!1!!!” stereotype, it didn’t get international coverage or even much of local reportage. But who gives a fuck? We’re together, and that’s all that matters. -- source link
