Well Done All

It would be highly unfair not to compliment the administration at all tiers, especially the police all over the country, for taking excellent security measures and doing their job very well during the Ashra e Muharram. Ensuring the safety of thousands and thousands of mourners in hundreds of processions stretched over miles and miles round the clock day and night in scores of small, medium and large cities of Pakistan was no mean task, and our hats off to those who planned such fool proof security measures and then executed them so proficiently that not only not a single untoward incident was allowed to occur but many an attempt by the terrorists that could have been horrendous was foiled by their dutiful vigilance and professionalism. It must have caused great deal of disappointment and frustration to the extremists who would again be looking for an opportunity to strike during the period up to the Chaleeswan when various majalis shall be held and processi ons taken out at different places.  I am sure that the administration and the Police shall not lower their guards and once again ensure the safety of all as before. Well done all, Sirs, keep it up.  We are proud of you all.

P.S.  Though the Rawalpindi incident has somewhat marred the overall safe and secure scenario but, that was purely on account of sectarianism and nothing to do with the terrorists.  However, a point of concern does arise as to how the antagonists were able to get hold of fire arms that quickly and from where without being detected?!    Jafri.
