ISLAMABAD: This is with reference to your report of the suicide bombing in Charsadda on May 13, which left at least 80 paramilitary personnel dead. It’s time for us to declare war on the Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and its allied groups. They should not be shown any mercy by the state and they should be made to pay for taking each and every life of our soldiers and civilians. These people think they are warriors but the fact is that they are the biggest of cowards. To attack innocent people as part of their jihad is unIslamic. If they are so brave, why don’t they go into Afghanistan and fight the Isaf troops?
May Allah bless the souls and families of those who were lost today — they are the true heroes of Pakistan.
Khalid Muhammad
