We are alarmed by the attack on the #AuratAzadiMarch in Islamabad. Despite so much censorship and regulation the administration failed to avert security threats, which were known beforehand.

Sadly, the attack is injuring many people. Unfortunately, the police and district administration failed in maintaining law and order.
This guy survived an attack.
Survived an attack by the lal masjid brigade at #AuratAzadiMarch. I saw a guy get hit by a flying brick. I couldn’t find him later, I hope he’s safe.

Above all, the attack on peaceful protest is a matter of shame for the government. Moreover, the government cannot control extremists in the capital territory.
This portrays the ineffectiveness of Islamabad’s administration. Hopefully, the forces will control the situation soon.
