From public places to religious places, from unknowns to knowns, terrorists have struck and inflicted damage not on the infrastructure but on our minds and hearts. Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has seen violence in all shapes and sizes but the elected government always stood firm on its policy to fight terrorism. Its markets have been attacked. Hotels, public places and cinemas still echo with the screams after a blast. Despite various threats, no one backed out from this war and they have paid the price for their courage and for standing up for what’s right.
The son of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Information Minister Mian Iftikhar Hussain was killed by unidentified gunmen near Nowshera. He was dressed in a cricketing gear and was going to a nearby ground with his cousin; an activity that direly threatens Islam indeed. He was the only son of the courageous leader. Mian Rashid (Late) is a symbol of courage and our determination against these demented militants. He along with all others who have laid down their lives while fighting this war will always live in our hearts and minds when we look back. But let this be a message to the terrorists that we will not back off from this war; come what may!
