Lahore Blast - What we know so far?

[Safriz]

This was the turning point in Pakistan's history. Pakistan has never been the same again.

An anti-Zia journalist being publicly flogged in Rawalpindi (1979).

and the best and most peaceful era of our lives. I miss those days, i remember like yesterday.

I thought the operation in south punjab was not given the go ahead by civilian government or something like a limited operation.

Operation Ghazi was conducted all around Pakistan including Punjab to my understanding.

RIP. Prayers go out to all innocents lives taken by cowards that blow themselves up in crowded areas.

Let your revenge be swift and unrelenting Pakistan.

And Pakistan is an Islamic conception. You take it out you are nothing.

Do you mean the Zia era or pre-Zia era?

If you are old enough you would know that Ayub Khans’ era was even more peaceful and far more liberal and the period before Ayub even more so.

Any period where dissent in any form is crushed ruthlessly will be peaceful. Afghanistan under Taliban was also peaceful and free of even petty crime. But what is use of peace where even women are beaten up for not wearing full Burqa? Graveyards are tranquil and peaceful places but would anyone living creature want to reside there?

During the Zia era I was frequent visitor to Pakistan because both the parents were living. Indeed it was peaceful because opposition in any form was crushed. However, look at kind of society it created; a mob of the outwardly pious worshipers burned down the US Embassy in Islamabad in November 1979 on mere rumour! In actual fact the Holy Kaaba seizure was purely the work of Saudi born fundamentalists with US having no involvement whatsoever.

Zia created a bigoted & intolerant society where people would kill a totally innocent person without the slightest remorse. I have experienced Pakistan before, during and after the Zia era. In my view Zia was the worst calamity that befell Pakistan.

Unlike Zia supporter, I believe in human rights and not forcing my views on other with a shot gun; you are welcome to love & admire the bigot Zia as hero of Islam as much as you like.

why does that question bothers you?
Have you got enough time from all the cow fish and leather threads.
You are an Indian. Know your worth around here

Well, atleast in past terrorists acts we used to block Afghan border only to open it again as a "jesture of good will and humanitarian act", till hit by next terrorist act.

This time however, no such thing happened. Even it seems the establishment is not interested in rooting the problem in its bud.

With yanks not paying for use of our infrastructure for their own sustenance in Afghanistan, Pakistani citizens are getting blown away with relentless terrorism being exported into our lands by NDS/RAW nexus overseen by CIA, why the hell Afghan border is still open?

yes yes tell me more how one man managed to change the mentality of the whole of Pakistan.

i think a fatwa should be given that each and everyone should curse and blame Zia each day after Chaasht prayers

In my view the worst calamity to hit Pakistan is people who bend over and cry foul over past and are helpless to change it.

You just need a figure to blame. So let it be Zia. He is dead. Buried. People cried over him some rejoiced other offered his prayer.

Now you are clinging on to a mentality which lost and nobody goes back to a losing formula.

Just because information and media was never outreaching does not mean the society was not conservative.

Pick and choose all you like but you cannot fool the masses. Sure you can prey on young minds fresh outta school but not those who are witness to the civilization of Pakistan.

if i am not wrong the ZIA died 28 years ago
