I wish our electronic media would learn a lesson or two from our resilient public. Instead of painting a pathetic picture and hounding the bereaved families and asking them ridiculous questions like what they are feeling, and in so doing giving the terrorists the satisfaction they crave, they should proudly stand tall and strong, and announce from every pulpit that no amount of sacrifice will make us bow our heads before them. What the Lahoris have done today deserves a royal salute -- in spite of government directives disallowing public viewing of change of guards at Wagah border for three days, they showed up in full force, passion and patriotism to make it clear that they feared no one. If that wasn't a slap on the faces of the terrorists, nothing is. This attitude is more likely to daunt their spirits than seeing a family agonising over the death of their loved ones, which is what they want to see in the first place. Let us show our solidarity and may our enemies cringe at our show of strength.
