Center for Human Rights Education- Pakistan and its member organization has expressed deep concerns over the three recent incidents of terrorism in Peshawar, the Provincial Capital of Khyber Pakhtun khwa (KPK) Province and has demanded urgent and effective actions to save the lives of the people. Enough lip service has been done but now the people want to see a concrete policy, effective strategy and action to stop terrorism. Today’s (September 29) bomb blast at Qisa Khwani Bazaar, recent attack on the government employee’s bus and deadly attack on the Christian community in a Church on September 24, 2013 has raised feelings of fear among the people and shows the failure of the security apparatus and the government. It is very sad that the federal and the provincial governments has not shown their seriousness after the deadly attack on the Church and remained failed to stop the other two attacks in the same city. This is a very serious situation. Therefore, Centre for Human Rights Education- Pakistan calls upon the government, Pakistan’s security apparatus and other political forces to pay attention to the worsening law and order situation and fulfil their responsibility of securing people’s right to life. Centre for Human Rights Education views that "It is good to have debate on whether to go for a dialogue or any other action to deal with the issue of terrorism. But the government ultimately needs to decide in consultation with other genuine political forces about the option it needs to adopt in the current circumstances. However while making any decision it should be kept in mind that the Pakistan’s territory and the lives of its people cannot be kept hostage in the hands of the terrorists who do not our law, our political system and the sovereignty of our country and want to impose their agenda by force. This is never acceptable".
