Sir: The violation of human rights has become a common thing in Pakistan. Violation against teachers are going on unchecked. Teachers are the builders of a nation. Teachers are the spiritual parents of their students. In this regard, all and sundry must respect them. Instead of respect, they are being meted out very bad treatment. Unfortunately, many teachers have been killed in Balochistan. There are several examples of great teachers who were killed in Balochistan. One of them was Zahid Askani, the principal of a private school in Gwadar, who was a very honest person. He just wanted to provide education to all, but the enemies of education could not bear that and they killed him. The government should take action against these extremist persons who are killing teachers mercilessly. SAHIRA IMAM Kech
