Another bomb blast series have started after the signature of Zardari on 18th amendment. Unfortunately people were protesting against loadshedding, when this trgedy happened, so who is responsible.? Zardari or Gillani or Raja Pervez Ashraf or Rehman Malik, there must be some one responsible for this blast, may be govt itself has done this blast to stop people for this kind of protest. Any how it’s big tragedy, may be it’s a reward for Pukhtoonkhawa from the govt for their province ? We have to stop this terrorism, the innocent & miserable people who don’t have electricity in this summer, can’t even protest, may be some terrorist will come to them and made blast and finish many lives. The notorious minister enjoying his luxurious life sitting in his airconditioned office or home and people they are protesting and victimised by these extremists. In both ways people are dying either by heat of weather with out electricity or heat of bomb blast.
