An attack in Quetta makes it crystal clear that terrorism is making its way back to the country
TURBAT: Terrorism has been one of the most striking issues in Pakistan for decades. This has filled the lives of the people with fear, anxiety, sentiment of repugnancy and hate. Anyhow, with several operations conducted by the Pakistani Army, terrorism was curbed. But it now seems to be returning. An attack in Quetta makes this a crystal clear fact. Balochistan is amongst the most vulnerable regions in Pakistan and the current situation in Balochistan with the blast in a mosque adds to the miseries of the people. This attack killed not only civilians but it took the life of DSP Amanullah. After the attack occurred, the army chief was ready to provide assistance to the police and civil administration. However, no proper actions are taken to control this issue in Balochistan. Hence, the federal and provincial governments must take strict actions to bring terrorism down. Quetta is a small city. To make it safe requires less effort.
