Some incidents give a permanent scar on the hearts with unbearable pain and the waves of tremors are felt in the entire body for a long period of time. Pakistan has been fighting the war against terrorism for a while and just when we think the storm has come to a halt, another jolt shakes the country more powerfully, relinquishing tranquility and days of contentment. A similar spine-chilling act of terrorism has tried to squeeze out peace from the nation yesterday, but while the entire populace is in tears of fury and frustration, it is also standing still like a pillar made out of concrete and brass.

Balochistan once again became a victim of violence with two heinous attacks in Quetta and Chaman, martyring at least 21 and leaving behind dozens of innocent people injured. Following the gory attack, Pakistani celebrities, politicians, and activists condemned yesterday’s act of distortion of peace.
Prime Minister Imran Khan has not only condemned the attack but has also “asked for an immediate inquiry & increased security for the people.”
Deeply saddened & have strongly condemned the terrorist attack in Hazarganji market area of Quetta targeting our innocent people. I have asked for an immediate inquiry & increased security for the ppl. Prayers go to the families of the victims & for early recovery of the injured.

Hamza Ali Abbasi believes it is “another plot to harm Pakistan & divide us along religious and ethnic lines.”
#QuettaBlast One of the last fronts of this terrible war we have been fighting with those who only worship power and human life has no value for them. Another plot to harm Pakistan & divide us along religious and ethnic lines. May Allah grant jannah to the shaheeds.

Legendary actor Faysal Quraishi feels its painful that members of a particular community are attacked again and again. Also, he is furious because the terrorists that attack these people are rarely apprehended.
Its so painful ke hamare hazara k bhai behno ko baar baaar target kiya jata hai aur phir inn mai se koi saamne nahi aata ke aakhir yeh terrorists hain kon ..#Quettableeds #hazara
