| Violence and Pakistani formula |

| [DAWN] "THE PTI has failed to capitalise on the body," remarked a supporter a day after the loss of a young life in violence in Faisalabad ...formerly known as Lyallpur, the third largest metropolis in Pakistain, the second largest in Punjab after Lahore. It is named after some Arab because the Paks didn't have anybody notable of their own to name it after... . It was a cruel remark, but one that focused on an eventuality everyone had been talking about. It was like asking that now that the incident predicted had taken place, would things follow the formula from that point on? The word violence is what the political debate over the previous few weeks had centred around. The government projected the PTI as a party courting violence. In return, the government was pulled up for its obdurate positioning, the theory being that if it could yield to anything, it could yield to violence. After all these weeks of debate on the subject, it was eerily logical that someone was now asking if the PTI had been able to use the sacrifice of its worker in Faisalabad to its advantage. |
