INTERIOR minister Chaudhry Nisar stated in his recent press conference that the explosives which were used in the Islamabad fruit market blast were supplied ‘through bus from south Punjab’.

Probably he is right. He pointed out himself that south Punjab is one of the places where terrorists exist. He denied involvement of the United Balochistan Army while the TTP denied and stated that they condemned such blasts at public places.

Apart from right or wrong, halal and haram blasts, what is the government doing with the Baloch and TTP militants?

Extreme violence is still part of our daily lives. Now there seems to be another force which operates and is responsible for terror and extreme attacks on innocent people.

It is better that in the larger interest of the country the PML-N should launch a grand search inside the provinces, including central and south Punjab to deal with the terrorists.
