SHAFAQNA PAKISTAN (Shia News Agency)
On March 23rd, Chinese Premier Xi Jinping is likely to visit Pakistan and he will be the chief guest of 23rd March parade. For this parade strict security measures have been taken. The nation writes that “Authorities have decided to keep 41 seminaries in Islamabad closed from March 18th to 24th”. As the military prepares for its Pakistan Day parade next month, 41 seminaries in and around Islamabad have been ordered shut lest terrorists use them as a bridgehead for an attack on the parade. If the seminaries are such an obvious threat to the military parade, how could they be good for the population at large? In all likelihood, the TTP attackers that massacred the Shias at the Hayatabad mosque had taken sanctuary at some local seminary-mosque complex just like the Army Public School Peshawar attackers had done. One should mourn or laugh at this stupid approach that Government is shutting down these seminaries for an occasion but not for the protection of its citizens in long run. Until we think in broader sense, shunning a side myopia, terrorism cannot be eradicated.
