ISLAMABAD - Minister of Information and Broadcasting Chaudhry Fawad Hussain on Saturday expressed deep sorrow and regret over the Sialkot incident, and said that narrow minded religious fanati­cism was like a time bomb which needed to be defused before it was too late.

In a tweet he said: “What should I say about the Sialkot in­cident other than the fact that we as a nation must stand to­gether and dismantle such tick­ing time-bombs before they det­onate. The sands of time are slipping from our fingers, we 

 must act and act now.” The min­ister said that such incidents sadden the society for a couple of days and then everyone for­got the incident till next trage­dy. He said such type of apathy from the society could lead to bigger tragedies as many coun­tries have witnessed bloodshed at the hands of such fanatics.
