When we will learn to show an educated Pakistan to the world without showing our ability to fight and use arms and weapons. Nations strength is not on making or showing off weapons and in this age science and technology are the weapons for progress and powers of a nation.
The same day we can see medals and awards being showered on people for their so called bravery without any achievement seen. A look at list of award winners shows our priorities as there are no scientist or researcher who has gotten award for any achievement bcoz we never give priority to research in science and technology.
