Agree with you one hundred percent Sir. Shias are as much Pakistanis as anybody else.
This clearly indicates the divisions within Pakistan. We are not only divided on ethnic & language basis and Muslims versus non-Muslims; there is a divid between Shia’s & Sunnis & among the Braelvies & Deobandi/Wahhabis, and last but not least between liberals & Taliban lovers. Don’t; know when we will stand as all Pakistanis – one Nation.
It is quite apparent the poison of sectarianism is widespread. Highly educated and rational members of this forum may pay lip-service to interfaith harmony, most are probably as bigoted as anyone else.
As far Gen Raheel Sharif; I would have preferred if he had opted for a quiet life and simply faded away. However, he is his own man and responsible for his decisions. Only time will tell us if this step was correct or in error.
P.S.
I do not exclude myself; I am staunchly anti-Taliban.
