Pakistan: No Fear of Blast Anymore

A country like Pakistan, which is under a flood of problems, is facing evils of terrorism. Last night I heard a noise of blast. No one around got shocked by the sound. A girl came near me and asked: “Did you hear the sound?” I said “yes!” She responded I think it was very near as the sound was pretty high she added, “Hope so it will not cause many deaths” and went away. The life around was moving flawlessly.

 It was not the first time that I heard the thud of blast and witness injures. I have seen so many times on a blast spot after half an hour life was usual. Few days back after coming from a place where a blast took place an hour ago I switch on the television and got upset to hear the blast news on every channel. Every channel was in a war to present the news of blast in most dreadful way. Many reporters were telling that they are on the blast sight and people are feeling fear to come out of their houses because of the present condition.

I myself know few people who lost their loved ones in such attacks but no one told me that they are feeling fear. Since 9/11 US attack, Pakistan is facing this crisis. 35 suicide attacks took place in year 2013 killing 643 people and 1518 injuries. People killed by Drone attacks in 2013 are 133 and 47 get injured.

If I add some numbers of suicide and drone attacks from 2005 up to 2013 then the whole story will become clear that why people have no more fear of blasts.

Years	2005	2006	2007	2008	2009	2010	2011	2012
Suicide Attacks	4	9	57	61	90	58	44	32
Drone Attacks	2	3	4	36	50	109	73	51

People killed and injured in these attacks are:

Year	2005	2006	2007	2008	2009	2010	2011	2012
Suicide Attacks(killed)	83	161	842	940	1090	1153	625	243
Suicide Attacks(Injured)	230	230	2008	2426	3462	2954	1386	705
Drone Attacks(killed)	7	103	46	368	633	993	574	349
Drone Attacks(Injured)	2	4	30	154	331	421	154	98

Moreover, these are only the figures of suicide and drone attacks if I start discussing about other kind of attacks it will be really chaotic.

Majority of the people killed in drone attacks were innocent children and women. I am not writing this article to blame America or any other country or organization. The purpose is to tell the world that due to such frequent occurrences of blasts the people are fearless to die. 


If such attacking continues then the fake tag pasted on “Muslims” as “Terrorists” will no more remain bogus and it will not result in river—its consequences will be sea of blood. In the end it is not worth mentioning that ‘The suffering is no more painful’.
