A worrying precedent had been set already when a sitting MPA and member of the provincial govt had personally led an attack on a govt office. It was only a matter of time before their spark manifested into a raging inferno that would engulf them along with everything else in range.
I hope the situation can be controlled before it further escalates.

Even before that, the first recent instance I can recall was when people attacked the Multan grid station in 2007/08.
I guess that's bound to happen when our people are illiterate, self-entitled and short tempered.
Our leaders are more concerned about their positions than the country.
Our police lacks the capability to bring perpetrators to task.
And the judiciary will allow you to buy a verdict of your choice.

When there is no semblance of order, man regresses to his primal state, for at the end of the day, he is just another animal that learnt some fancy tricks.

But we are all told that loadshedding will end "soon". Right.
