Wake-up call

Letter February 24, 2017
There is a long way to achieve absolute peace and security

KARACHI: Last week may be termed a mourning week with six incidents of terrorism that killed at least one hundred people. The carnage of Sehwan Sharif on February 19 is the deadliest one after the Lahore blast on February 13. The recurring incidents of terrorism are a wake-up call for the government and security agencies. There are many threats hurled at security agencies from the militants. What’s imperative is that we’re proactive and vigilant of not only security agencies but of citizens as well because these terrorists roam around and succeed in their brutal missions without being noticed.

Though there is a long way to achieve absolute peace and security, we need to be more determined and more resolute to defeat the enemy.
