53 people have been martyred in a suicide blast near a mosque in Balochistan’s Mastung district before the procession of Milad-ul-Nabi, including DSP Muhammad Nawaz Gashguri. Critically described.

The media has reported with reference to the district administration that this suicide blast took place near Madina Mosque in Mastung, there was a rush of worshipers due to Friday and Eid Milad-ul-Nabi, because after the prayer, people left here in the procession of Eid Milad-ul-Nabi. Had to attend.

According to IG Police Balochistan Abdul Khaliq Sheikh, the DSP was martyred while stopping the suicide bomber in the Mustang blast. The provincial government has announced a three-day mourning for the Mastung tragedy in Balochistan.

After a suicide blast near a mosque in Balochistan’s Mastung area, a suicide blast took place in a mosque in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s Hangu district, killing 5 people and injuring around 12 people. According to the media, the suicide blast took place during the Friday prayer sermon in the mosque inside Doaba police station. There were 30 to 40 worshipers inside the mosque at the time of the explosion. The suicide blast was so intense that the roof of the mosque collapsed and worshipers were buried in the rubble.

Hangu Police in the preliminary report of the suicide blast in the mosque said that two suicide bombers had arrived to enter the mosque, claiming that the casualties were reduced due to the timely action of the police. killed one suicide bomber outside the mosque while the second suicide bomber managed to enter the mosque and blew himself up inside. The police report said that the movement of the attacker Investigations are ongoing from all aspects regarding the matter.

Nothing can be said about the veracity of the claim made by the Hangu police, but the fact is that there was a suicide blast inside the mosque, the roof of the mosque collapsed due to the intensity of the explosion and the worshipers were killed. Martyred. This made it clear that the suicide bomber had entered the mosque. The media has also given the news regarding the Hangu police that there was an exchange of fire between the suicide bomber and the policemen.

Hearing the sound of firing, many worshipers managed to get out of the mosque. Because of this, the loss of life was reduced. These are preliminary reports, not yet fully investigated. Similarly, a suicide blast has also taken place in Mastung district of Balochistan. The number of martyrs here is more than fifty. A DSP has also been martyred in this tragedy. If these two events are combined, the timing of the two suicide blasts is the same and the pattern of the blasts is also the same.

The districts in which these explosions took place are tribal areas and the control of the provincial administration is very weak in these districts. The intelligence system of the district administration and the district police is non-existent. The police also do not have modern weapons and modern scanners. The quality of police training and commitment is also very low. Tribal chiefs and chiefs etc. are powerful in these areas. It is not very difficult to commit terrorism in areas with such a weak administrative structure.

Important persons of the caretaker governments of Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa have fulfilled their responsibility by issuing traditional condemnation statements. The police have also said that these were suicide blasts, and further investigations are underway. Thus the police have also done their duty. From the caretaker prime minister of Pakistan to the leaders of all political parties, they have also done their duty by issuing condemnation statements, so now the next incident of terrorism will be awaited.

United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres has also condemned the terrorist attacks in Pakistan. In his condemnation statement on the social networking website, he has said that I condemn the terrorist attacks in Pakistan on Friday. Antonio Guterres has added that this is a heinous act, and those responsible for the attacks must be held accountable.

America has also condemned the loss of precious lives in suicide attacks in Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. In his statement of condemnation on the social media website, the spokesperson of the US State Department has said that the US condemns the suicide attacks in Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres and the spokesperson of the US State Department have also condemned the attack by TTP terrorists in Chitral. Mr. Antonio Guterres has also said that the international community is concerned about terrorism and drug trafficking in Afghanistan. Terrorism and drug trade are closely related. Funds for terrorism are generated through the huge amount of money gained from drug trafficking.

Various groups participating in the long war in Afghanistan have resorted to kidnapping for ransom, extortion and collection of transit jaga tax to meet their extraordinary expenses, but drug trade and large-scale poppy cultivation are all for these self-reliant groups. was a major financial source and this source is still established.

Arms and drug trafficking enables the financing of underground mafia gangs and terrorists worldwide. Due to this economic lifeline, the network of terrorist and mafia gangs has expanded and they have sophisticated weapons and trained fighting forces.

The drug factor makes terrorist group fighters and suicide bombers fearless and emotionless. This relationship between the two is the cause of a different type of terrorism, which experts call Narcoterror. Thus, terrorist groups and black economy mafias are posing serious threats to states with constitutional and legal systems as they are more suited to states with weak systems.

The thing to think about is how the fighting groups in Yemen, Somalia and other countries are continuing their activities despite the sanctions of America and Europe. Similarly, restrictions are imposed on the Taliban government in Afghanistan, but despite this, this government is getting financial support from somewhere. On the other hand, despite being an organized state, Pakistan is suffering from an economic crisis and this crisis is not reducing yet.

Successive incidents of terrorism in Pakistan make this fact more clear that terrorists are getting facilitation from inside Pakistan as well. Deep ties between the Afghan Taliban and the TPP are no longer hidden, the leadership of Afghanistan itself is engaged in the strategy of creating problems for Pakistan through the TTP. The underground mafias are also harming the interests of the Pakistani people for their own survival. There is no denying the fact that Pakistan’s neighbors in the north-west are under international economic sanctions.

The eastern neighbor is also always ready to help all kinds of groups against Pakistan. The most regrettable thing is that every government of Afghanistan always tried to harm the interests of Pakistan during their respective periods. Whether Afghanistan was ruled by Zahir Shah, Sardar Dawood’s regime, the Soviet-backed socialist regime, the first Taliban regime, the American-backed moderate regime of Karzai and Ashraf Ghani, or today’s Taliban regime, all have always created problems for Pakistan. why

Pakistan’s policy makers and stakeholders have been following the North-West and East policy for 76 years, now there is a need to make nuclear changes in this policy. The aim should not be war or enmity with anyone, but the first aim should be to protect the lives and property of the citizens living within the geographical boundaries of Pakistan.

Achieving this goal requires revolutionary changes in foreign affairs and internal affairs. New laws need to be made to hold the state machinery accountable as terrorist groups have succeeded in injecting their ideological and financial interests into the system of Pakistan, so the state system should be overhauled first.
