After the tragedy in Army Public School in Peshawer on 16th December, the entire Pakistani nation had hoped and prayed that this will the last time we will see a massacre of this scale.

But yesterday, a similar tragedy happened again in Lahore where people had gone to Gulshan-i-Iqbal Park to spend the Sunday holiday. The blast there killed more than 70 people and injured hundreds. Many of the dead are young children who were enjoying themselves on rides and swings. Their laughter is now silenced.

Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un
"Indeed we belong to Allah , and indeed to Him we will return."— Surah Al-Baqarah 156

It is indeed very sad day for each Pakistani. We should ask Allah to forgive our sins and also pray for peace, prosperity and harmony in Pakistan.
