Islamabad, Pakistan: Another targeted suicide bombing in Quetta (Railway Station) has confirmed again that enemies are not sitting idle and they do not miss any chance to send a wave of fear and want to tell investors that Pakistan is not a safe destination.
According to police, Saturday’s attack targeted passengers gathered for the departure of the Jafar Express that was scheduled to leave for Peshawar. The causalities could be higher if the venue could be any public gathering such as the PTI planned yesterday but law enforcement agencies had intelligence information that BLA wanted to attack therefore the No Objection Certificate (NOC) was not released for the PTI public meeting.
The sad thing is that on the one hand, all the terrorist elements have united against Pakistan but our political elite such as PTI always tries to keep the law enforcement agencies busy in handling the unruly mob of the anarchist party PTI.
A day ago PTI tried to hold a rally in Quetta whose NOC was canceled by the local administration due to security concerns after that, an unruly mob of PTI tried to destroy the law and order situation in Quetta but today Quetta the suicide blast at the railway station proved that the fears of the local administration regarding security concerns were correct. Neither the PTI nor its anarchist leader realizes that the country cannot afford political instability at this time but certain political elements always want to foster the politics of anarchy in the country for their nefarious purposes.
One should remember that today November 9 is the birth anniversary of the poet of the East, Allama Iqbal who provided the idea of an independent state for the Muslims of the subcontinent. Instead of celebrating his birth anniversary, the enemies of the country’ targeted innocent citizens at Quetta Railway Station and they called this act justified. Defense experts agree that if the terrorists think that they will win the so-called war of independence by shedding innocent people’s blood by making explosions, they are living in a fool’s paradise because Pakistan has won many battles against terrorists and extremists and will definitely defeat foreign-sponsored elements like BLA.
Enemies of Pakistan must not forget that Pakistan is a free and independent state where every religion, every creed, and every person has its rights, and the best way to negotiate with the state is to surrender, accept the constitution of Pakistan, and sit down and talk otherwise no one will be contented with their bullying or terrorism.
Another unfortunate reality cropping up is that the cause of TTP (officially known as Fattana-ul-Khwaraj) in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, BLA in Balochistan, and PTI is the same and that is to harm the state of Pakistan and target state institutions. It looks like PTI, BLA, and TTP are actually sides of the same coin and their agenda is to stop the development of the state of Pakistan. There are also facilitators and their funders, and these are the powers that do not tolerate the development of Pakistan.
There is a silver lining as well and that is the citizens of Pakistan are now aware of anti-national narratives of PTI, TTP, and BLA and they stand with their Pakistan Army and security agencies. Therefore, the government of Pakistan and the security agencies should not show any leniency with these anti-national, anti-people terrorists and deal with them with iron hands. The only difference between TTP and PTI is that TTP used only guns against Pakistan Army and Pakistan while PTI used all political and diplomatic weapons to harm Pakistan. Sending letters to IMF for not granting loans to Pakistan and writing letters to the UN to tag Pakistan as a state of concern over alleged Human Rights abuses had been some of PTI tools and the United States Commission of International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) put Pakistan in the list of country of concern due to letters written by PTI to UN and European Union.
It may be remembered that TTP attacked GHQ Rawalpindi in October 2009 and PTI did the same on May 9, 2023. Suppose PTI is not an enemy of Pakistan as BLA and TTP are. In that case, it must prove it through actions and let peace prevail in Pakistan and must not engage security agencies in dealing with unruly circumstances that PTI creates almost every week.
