Much is being said about the government’s National Action Plan in the wake of the massacre of scores of school children in Peshawar, a plan that promises, among other things, to curb the belligerent spread of hate speech. What transpires on Mr Liaquat’s show from time to time is the kind of hate speech that has had devastating effects. It is the kind of instigation that moves people to murder, endangers an already ostracised community and encourages the spread of extremism and terrorism. Something must be done about this and soon. We have just seen our precious children mercilessly gunned down by the Taliban in Peshawar and Amir Liaquat is back to his old tricks. The much touted action plan against terrorism must block the transmission of this man’s show to let the people know that it is serious about beating back the terror threat. We have had enough of people like Mr Liaquat, we have had enough of seeing our minorities being killed because of their faith. Enough.
