The slum dwellers of Islamabad are of the opinion that the Government, in an attempt to eradicate slums from Islamabad, is pinning their residents as terrorists. They said that they are poor and have little voice in politics but that doesn’t mean that they should be told to pack up and leave any time.
While the fact remains in question that whether the slums have been erected on purchased lands or are simply illegal encroachments, government believes that they provide a safe haven to the terrorists as slums are relatively cheaper and core of many crimes.
