2,300 IIPM students get jobs
Cost to the country is 360 degrees, with no easy solution in sight, says Ishrat Saleem
The attack on the Sri Lankan team in the busy hours of the morning in downtown Lahore on March 3 has left everyone shell-shocked. Cricket enthusiasts are ruing the death of international cricket in Pakistan for the foreseeable future. Mind you, every other person walking the streets of Lahore is a cricket fan. The bookies and the betters are roaming around with long-drawn faces; a perfect day was ruined by bloody attackers. The assailants bloodied six security persons and seven Sri Lankan cricketers, but did not leave behind a single stain of blood themselves. Behind the poker faces of bookies and betters is a lurking fear. All of the 12 attackers, who probably wanted to take the Sri Lankan team hostage – given the dexterity they worked with and the sophisticated weaponry they left behind – escaped without a scratch after a 25-minutes adventure. What a contrast to what happened in Mumbai: all but one attackers were killed and the survivor captured! Ordinary Pakistanis feel trapped.
Talking to The Sunday Indian, Rabia Iqbal, a graduate in Mass Communications from the London School of Economics, who recently returned to Pakistan after completing her degree, said, “The attacks were shocking. I was asleep and woke up to the terrible news, which was very disturbing. Concerns for the safety of immediate family and friends were followed by deep regret. The international image of Pakistan has been shattered, I realised with deep grief, and this incident follows a long line of similar ones that has and still continues to tarnish the country's face. Frankly, we have started to feel like second-class citizens within our own country. It feels like a state of extended house arrest.” And the worst thing is, no one yet knows who is responsible. Some leaders have blamed India, but supplied no evidence, and India has, naturally denied this.
Dr Faheem Hussain, Professor of Physics at Lahore University of Management Sciences believes it was probably done by the same kind of terrorists who attacked Mumbai. He regretted that as a result of this incident Pakistan will be completely isolated from the rest of the world, which will be a disaster for academic life as we will not be able to benefit from foreign faculty or organise international conferences. In the long run, it will have a detrimental impact on the development of the country, which is already short of research faculty.
