The blast took place near Shahbaz Sharif’s office, which can be used as a fact this wasn’t a political conspiracy. Regardless of what one may think, it is to be noted that in a time like this, we need to stay united and show empathy towards each other. We are one nation – matters like these shouldn’t divide us!
