The terrorist attack on General Headquarters (GHQ) was a nightmare. If such a sensitive and important place can come under attack, what is left of this nation, except of course, the Presidency and PM House. The government and media have been celebrating the bravery of those who courageously killed these terrorists and broke the siege laid around the hostages too, but at what cost? Eight terrorists killed versus nine security men killed including two top officers. This is no victory and there is nothing to celebrate. While jawans and innocent people are dying the rulers are roaming around the world in total disregard for people's anguish. We have without doubt never seen a government to match this one in inefficiency, corruption and limitless ayyashi. -TURBAT KHAN, Mansehra, October 16.
