JI demands probe into suicide attack

PESHAWAR:

Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Jamaat-e-Islami South chief, Professor Muhammad Ibrahim Khan, has demanded a thorough investigation into the recent suicide attack on the FC Line, questioning how terrorists managed to breach multiple layers of security and reach their target despite the presence of checkpoints and security forces.

Speaking to reporters at Darul Uloom Islamia in Bannu, Prof Ibrahim said the provincial government appeared paralyzed in the face of mounting insecurity. He criticized Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur for retreating from his earlier bold stance on law and order, adopted during a Jirga he chaired just days earlier.

"The government is showing indifference to the deteriorating security situation. Southern districts, particularly Bannu and Waziristan, are engulfed in violence, yet both the provincial government and elected representatives have been largely absent," he said, urging the chief minister and lawmakers to visit Bannu and address the public's concerns.
