Fresh wave of terrorism 

The involvement of afghan terrorists in the recent terrorism in Pakistan has been confirmed. In the last few months, the wave of terrorism has increased in Pakistan. Terrorist networks like TTP in Pakistan are supported by afghan terrorists. According to statistics, 14 of the 24 suicide attacks in Pakistan in the last few months were afghan attackers. 5 Tehreek-I-Taliban afghan terrorists were involved in the terrorist attack in Muslim Bagh on May 12, 2023. On July 12, 2023, 3 out of 5 afghan terrorists were involved in the cowardly terrorist attack on Zhob Cantt. 30 January 2023, police lines Peshawar and 29 September 2023 Cohungo suicide bombers were also from Afghanistan.

Two Pakistani citizens including a 12-year old child embraced martyrdom and another child injured in an unprovoked and indiscriminate firing by an afghan sentry at friendship gate of Chaman border crossing yesterday. Pakistan remains committed to contribute towards peace, prosperity and development through positive and constructive bilateral relations; however such unpleasant occurrences have the potential to harm the sincere intent and purpose.

Two days after a deadly bombing in Mastung claimed over 50 lives, Balochistan caretaker Information Minister Jan Achakzai on Sunday said “enough is enough” and declared an “all-out war” against terrorists. On Friday, a suicide bomber ripped through a procession celebrating the birth of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) on 12 Rabiul Awwal in Mastung, killing a police officer, religious leaders and children among dozens with the death toll at 59.

Two days on, however, no militant group has come forward to claim responsibility for the bombing, prompting claims from the government that the Indian intelligence agency, RAW, was involved.

Terrorist incidents were occurring in all of the country “daily and it has a set pattern”, questioning why these attacks were only happening in Pakistan and not other regional countries. This means there is a mastermind behind it who is systematically destabilizing us. Enough is enough. Now there will be no appeasement or concession … we declare all-out war on these terrorists.”

Now the time has come to deal with the terrorism coming from Afghanistan with iron hands. Pakistan army and law enforcement agencies have started implementing an effective strategy against afghan terrorists. The international community should help Pakistan stop the activities of afghan terrorists.
