What's going on in Lahore?

Security is on red alert in Lahore, don't know why. Whenever I see Elite Force standing alert with Kalashnikov in their hands, my heart misses a beat. It seems some thing is going to happen in LHR. They should at least take the general public into confidence if they have received any security concerned information. We have to pass through four check-posts while coming to office. Thank God! they do not stop females for complete search. They do not stop everyone but the suspected ones. But when they stop someone, everyone has to wait for the 'clear signal' as a long queue starts behind that person due to the barriers around the road.

Today, police again stopped a car in front of us. We were getting late but we have to wait as road was blocked. A policeman asked him for his IDs and other papers. He showed every thing but they were not satisfied. They asked him to come out of the car. He came out hesitantly. He was a nicely dressed young man looking very anxious and nervous. The policeman started his complete search even searched out his pockets and shoes too. The man was feeling very embarrassed as everyone was looking at him. People were passing comments on him and on policemen as well. I think police is used to such comments but that young man seemed difficult to face the people. He kept his eyes on his feet all the time. What a degradation of people in their own land? Poor soul....I really felt for him deep down from my heart.

Well the whole way to my office, I kept on thinking what type of measures police should adopt to check people by not humiliating them. There should be scanners fitted on specific roads where they think have security risks. These scanners should not only be used for checking weapons or other explosives but also identifying the drivers and matching the results with the updated database (I suppose NADRA is having it). They should only stop ambiguous ones. but again many of the people do not have even their ID cards. And the terrorists are experts to use authentic data for their evil plans. But honestly 'can we stop the suicide bomber?' 'can we stop the person who comes out with the aim to kill and to be killed?' 'Can any scanner scan the mind and heart of anyone?'

Then how can we stop it? Well we know very well how we can stop it. Govt knows how it can put a full stop to all of it. Give the due rights to the people of deprived regions and have peace and prosperity in the whole country. It's a give and take game. Run the country according to our priorities and objectives not the ones set by the others. But i dont understand what the policy of the government is. There are big questions on its performance. And i dont know what i want to say.........ahhhhh...........so put a full stop to all yap .

May there be peace everywhere. Ameen
