According to a recent report by the Policy Research Group (POREG), terrorism in Pakistan is a form of self-harm. Pakistan has been cultivating terrorists in its backyard as part of its security and foreign policy. The country must now pay for this unfortunate event.

The problem, according to POREG, is that significant powers in Pakistan have made terrorism a ticking time bomb, initially placating the terrorists in the name of protecting Islam, and then launching a counterattack against them.

The challenge facing the country’s leadership is twofold. It must crush militants along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border and bring a sense of security and peace to the region. At the same time, the Pakistani military must contain the regrouping and development of various Islamic militant factions in Pakistan itself.

Under the slogan Ulasi Pasoon (Public Uprising), thousands of locals protested against the suicide attack on the Peshawar police mosque and the growing lawlessness in the area on February 5 in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Behavior.

There were also riots in the Lakki Marwat, Mohmand and Malakand districts amid renewed terrorist threats. The security situation in the country has deteriorated over the past five months. After nightfall, people cannot go out of their homes, especially in Lakki Marwat.
