5 women, 3 of them teenagers, were killed in Pakistan yesterday. What was their sin? They were angels delivering polio drops to innocent children, so that they may be spared a life of handicap. Pakistan is among three countries in the world where Polio is still a reality, 56 cases have been diagnosed in 2012. If no action is taken, it may soon become the only nation on the globe where a preventable cause of paralysis is permitted to prevail.

This post is dedicated to Mamoon Sahab who was afflicted with Polio in his childhood and lived his life with utmost dignity and resilience.
