The bomb blast which, occurred at a CDs market in Charsadda on Friday resulted in four people being injured and damage to the market. This is another mode for the militants to show their presence and authority in the area. Their continuous undermining of the state authority and their indifference towards the laws clearly indicate their mischievous intentions. It should be our resolve that instead of giving in to the fear they represent, we should stand together and face them. By closing down markets and shops, we will only be handing over our freedom to them. Hassan Bashir, Islamabad
