An exchange of fire was also witnessed between protesters and the police contingent, which reached the site after the incident." DAWN People are beginning to stand up as mobs are forming.

Pakistan and Vatican City . “We can reveal the face of the church and how this face is, at times, disfigured,” Benedict said in his final homily on Ash Wednesday. “I am thinking in particular of the sins against the unity of the church, of the divisions in the body of the church.” He called for his ministry to overcome “individualism” and “rivalry,” saying they were only for those “who have distanced themselves from the faith.” . The Pakistan government has a similar problem. It has distanced itself from Faith and it's leadership (both secular and religious) cannot their overcome rivalry and individualism and have left the masses of Pakistan without unity.

Peace is something you make as you quite rightly quoted. Hence I would hate to put the onus entirely on the government alone. It is a collective effort and should come from the people that forms a nation.
