Inna Lillahi wa Inna Ilaihi Raji'oon.

Their sacrifices will not be forgotten. They died for a noble cause, in an attempt to make the country a better place. May Allah grant them direct Jannah - Ameen.

Very sad.

Security agencies once again have failed to keep citizens of Balochistan safe.

These were citizens who turned up to vote and take part in democratic process even though no major political leaders visited Balochistan until Mustang attack.

Another black day for Pakistan.
