People Of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Have Risen Against Terrorism

• The protests are being held in a number of cities across the province, with protesters demanding that the government take effective measures to counter terrorism, and promote peace and stability in the region
• The message of these protests is very clear: terrorism is unacceptable, and the State should take immediate steps to combat terrorism

Pakistan, especially Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, has been in grips of terrorism for decades, with extremist groups carrying out countless acts of violence and destruction across the country.

After the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan, the terrorist groups have reunited and re-established in neighbouring Pakistan as well. There have been several high-profile terror attacks in the country, causing widespread fear and outrage among the population. These attacks have prompted people to take to the streets in protest against terrorism, calling for an end to the violence and greater accountability for those responsible.

The Peshawar blast that targeted a mosque in a heavily-guarded police compound, claiming over 50 lives, is one of the most recent and deadliest terror attacks in the province. The attack is said to be claimed by the banned militant group, TTP,  and was seen as an attempt to destabilize the country and spread fear among the population.

Besides this blast, the Taliban have claimed responsibility for many other attacks, as well as the targeted killing of police officers. They are also involved in extortion from businessmen and political leaders. They also threaten schools, especially girls’ schools, and locals as well.

In response to these attacks, the people of KP have been taking to the streets, calling for an end to the violence and greater accountability for those responsible. The protests have been organized by a range of groups, including human rights organisations, civil society groups, and ordinary citizens.

The protests are being held in a number of cities across the province, with protesters demanding that the government take effective measures to counter terrorism, and promote peace and stability in the region.

People are calling these protests the end game for terrorists and their sponsors.

Despite the challenges, the protests against terrorism in KP continue to gain momentum, with a growing number of people taking to the streets.

The message of these protests is very clear: terrorism is unacceptable, and the State should take immediate steps to counter terrorism.

In conclusion, the recent terrorist attacks in KP and the protests against them have highlighted the ongoing threat of terrorism in the country.

It is imperative that the international community take action to support the people of Pakistan in their fight against terrorism and only then can we hope to achieve lasting peace and security in this region.
