First and foremost, it brings great joy to read that the Bomb Disposal Squad was successful in defusing the bomb. There is no doubt that they saved many innocent lives in the process. It is no secret that the city of Karachi has been plagued with terrorism in recent times. The terrorist elements are working diligently to spread fear and chaos with their indiscriminate killings. The city of Karachi seems to be sitting on top of their hit list. At the same time, it wouldn’t be wrong to say that the terrorists have spread their deadly operations throughout the country. The Pakistani forces are well aware of this growing threat, and they are working night and day to counter this threat, whether it’s in the Tirah Valley or the city of Karachi. We commend their bravery and efforts against terrorism. We greatly appreciate their hard work in securing and stabilizing the region. We hope to continue our common mission, and wish to see the people support our governments in restoring peace in the region. We again congratulate the Pakistani forces on this latest act of heroism, and ask the people to refrain from indulging in conspiracy theories that offer leeway to these repeat offenders.
