And are concerned about why shops were closed on Friday in Baluchistan and consider this some miracle by Modi. Ignoring the fact that supporters of Buggti are there and they do observe this day EVERY year. They did so when Manmohan Singh was in power and it was covered in news at that time as well. It is just like people observed the the day of death of Salman TAseer and then they did the same when they observed the day when his murderer was hanged. To each his own.
The problem is, we are an emotional lot of people and that is the worst thing you can deduce about us from these event. Try comparing it with what is happening in Kashmir and you will get the response the world have given already.
