“Pakistan
mourns after Taliban Peshawar School massacre.” Headlines
read this way in the morning. After the Sydney seize, now it was Pakistan’s
turn to experience the real face of terrorism. The only thing that crossed my
mind when heard of Peshawar school attack, was like Pakistan had a bite of
their own medicine.
Terrorism and Pakistan
are so interconnected according to the sources. The National and International
media talks about Pakistan’s govt. providing the enough of encouragement to the
terrorist groups for various reasons and one doesn’t really have any idea of
why the govt. does that except for their selfish needs.
But one thing to
remember, not just after this incident, but having heard of serial bomb blasts
in and outside Pakistan, I would like to really tell some people that Pakistan
and terrorism is not just the same. Not every Pakistani is a terrorist and not
every terrorist is a Pakistani. It’s important that people need to have an eye
on the facts and don’t really come to a conclusion that Pakistan is a terrorist
nation.
Like in India, there must
have been some really wonderful people and we may not know anything about them.
Just to add enough of
evidence to my point there, take the Peshawar attack. Such a heinous one from
the Taliban camp. And the most horrendous thing about terrorism is that, they
claim to have committed such an inhumane thing so proudly. What from the news I
have read is that, Taliban’s have admitted that it was now all justified.
148 have been killed in
the incident in which most of them are students. It was like the future of
Pakistan has taken a nasty beat. It was almost like more than 200 families got
affected with this attack.
Support has come to
Pakistan from all corners of the world. And I call it as the real face of
humanity showing towards a country that doesn’t know the real meaning of
humanity and governance.
It was now clear and open
to everyone that Pakistan govt. has failed to provide any kind of security for
the people living in there. Instead, some camps or groups are encouraging
hatred and spreading it across which is not really a good sign.
The only thing that comes
to my mind when I think of Terrorism for most of the time is ‘Why can’t govt.
consider Terrorism as their First Priority” and work towards providing safety
first to their own citizens. Providing job opportunities is something that
comes only after security. To be more precise, one must be alive at least to go
to work. So, it would be better if govt.’s think of providing safety first to
the citizens and everything next.
My thoughts and prayers
are with the families of the affected. It’s really hard to digest the fact
about their kids not making to home after the school yesterday. I think people
of Pakistan will at least now think of what’s happening in their country right
now. It’s people who elect their leaders everywhere. So, it’s time to recheck
what they really need in the long run.
India is no new to
terrorism. Mumbai Terrorist attack is something that will not be forgotten so
easily. It’s people who are going to take the final call.
Who knows? You may be the
next victim of terrorism. So, before it gets any serious, act now.
