A suicide bomber blew himself up during Friday prayers at the Jamia Masjid in the Qissa Khawani Bazaar area of Peshawar, the capital of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, killing more than 60 people and injuring more than 200 others, most of them in critical condition, and the death toll is expected to rise further.
There is no doubt that Pakistan has been at war for a long time and despite the unforgettable sacrifices of the Pakistan Armed Forces and the people and the loss of billions of rupees, Pakistan’s resolve against terrorism has not diminished.
It is also true that suicide attacks are relatively difficult to prevent, but the concern at the moment is that political affairs in Pakistan are in turmoil. Despite global tensions, the prime minister, foreign minister, and interior minister appear to be engaged in politics and defending their government, regardless of their official or domestic affairs.
Pakistan is currently in the eyes of the whole world because of its stand with Russia and China except for the United States. Restoration of peace in the country is not tolerated by the enemy forces. The arrival of the Australian team in Pakistan a year later has also become a charm for the enemies and the enemy can do any trick to discredit Pakistan by thwarting this tour in any way.
Terrorists deliberately targeted a mosque of a particular sect on Friday, blaming another sect on social media in an attempt to stir up sectarian tensions in the country. In such a situation, there is a need for all the political forces to unite and work together for the benefit of the country and to thwart all the conspiracies of the enemy.
