You may kill a musician, but not music.

Afghan Singer Haseeba Noori gunned down by unknown assailants in Pakhtunkhwa province. She ran from Afghanistan to save her life but she did not know that Pakhtunkhwa is more dangerous than her own country.

We are not living in country we are living in hell. We do not have respect of life.
