ISLAMABAD: Minister for Information and Broadcasting Fawad Chaudhry has condemned the Sialkot incident and referred to it as a ‘time bomb’ in the country which if not is defused timely would continue to explode.
Condemning the senseless killing of the Sri Lankan factory manager in Sialkot, the federal minister said that we as a society have planted time bombs in the society, and if these bombs are not defused then they will continue to explode. “Time is slipping out of our hands like sand,” he added.
In his Twitter message, he said that he had been wondering since yesterday what words to write on the Sialkot incident, he said by terming himself as speechless.
کل سے سوچ رہا تھا کہ سیالکوٹ واقعہ پر کیا لکھوں لفظ تو بے عمل ہو گئے ہیں، ایسے واقعات صرف 48گھنٹے ہمیں تکلیف دیتے ہیں پھر سب نارمل ہو جاتا ہے اور تب تک احساس دفن رہتا ہے جب تک اگلا واقعہ نہ ہو یہ بے حسی بڑے طوفان کا پیش خیمہ ہے ہمارے سامنے ملکوں میں خون کے دریا بہ گئے
