It seems that human life has no value in the eyes of these barbarians and our rulers. To stop this violence there is only one solution. Close the border with Afghanistan. Make a checkpoint of regular Army not FC, after every 1 km along the border and anyone trying to cross the border, shot them without warning and shot them at head.
Instead of having daily murder and blasts how is an army operation against these terrorists not a good idea. Army jawans and police are dying daily
keep blowing up... like the rest of the country's economy, health, poverty, load shedding, inflation, infrastructure, ... every thing in this country blows up as everything has reached their tipping point.
