While the news channels continue focusing on the departure, the arrival and the arrest of father-daughter duo Nawaz Sharif and Maryam Nawaz, it completely overshadows the horrible events which have taken over the country in the recent days. In 3 days, over 120 Pakistanis have died in these suicide attacks no one seems to be talking about.
People In Lahore Were More Worried About ‘Welcoming’ Nawaz Sharif and Maryam Nawaz

No One Seems To Be Talking About This
No news channel covered the horrible events in Balochistan. Is this fair media speech?
87 dead in #Mastung so far, 150 people injured. The number of casualties are increasing at an alarming rate. I feel sick with deja vu. Why was this allowed to happen again, why was this country constantly fed the lie that this was over.

It Indeed Is!
Horrific tragedy in Mastung with over 100 dead in terror attack – innocent citizens once again pay the price. This is a direct assault on the nation and its democracy.

This Has Been the State of Pakistan From the Past 3 Days
Yet no one was talking about it the way news channels were talking about the flight details of Nawaz Sharif. Sheds light on the priorities.
The past 3 days in #Pakistan:
1) Haroon Bilour & 14 others dead in Peshawar
2) 4 people dead in the attack in Bannu targeting Akram Durrani
3) Siraj Raisani & 70 others martyred in Mastung, BalochistanThis should give us all a taste of what’s to come. Utterly frightening.

On the Other Hand, PM Candidate Imran Khan Subtly Pinned this On Nawaz Sharif
While it seems clear how these are targeted acts of terrorism, Imran Khan begs to differ and stirs a controversy among the masses.
Beginning to wonder why whenever Nawaz Sharif is in trouble, there is increasing tension along Pakistan's borders and a rise in terrorist acts? Is it a mere coincidence?

Following the Leader, Salman Ahmed Believes that People Who Died in these Suicide Attacks are Offering ‘Qurbani’
In a tweet he made, Salman Ahmed wrote the lyrics of his song and called the deaths of the Pakistanis a Qurbani while seeking azaadi.
Junoon sey aur ishq sey milti Hai Azadi, Qurbani ki bahon mein milti hai Azadi . https://t.co/dupQtzCKfc

And He Tried to Justify his Tweet Even More
Comparing shaheeds of today with the spirit of Jinnah's Azadi. https://t.co/XC5T4VjGBw

And More…
Do not think of those who have been killed in God's cause as dead. They are alive,& well provided for by their Lord- Holy Quran
— salman ahmad (@sufisal) July 13, 2018
One wonders what was Salman Ahmed even thinking when he wrote this. It obviously received a lot of backlash from the masses.

Yep!
Easy to tweet about "qurbani" while sitting in New York & when ur political party is playing on an engineered pitch. Aap nay kiya qurbani di hai? https://t.co/11bj3EExHL

Qurbani happens when people are willing to give their lives for a cause, for a fight. The people in Balochistan weren’t aware of what was going to happen to them…to their loved ones. Guess Salman Ahmed doesn’t know the difference between this.
One has to worry about the future of this country in terms of the future, in terms who we elect because this mentality is definitely not something we need.
God bless Pakistan.
