First it was Peshawar and Quetta, now it is taking place in Karachi. The terror elements have been targeting police with the objective to instil terror into the masses.
The attacks on two police stations in Karachi are part of the series of events taking place throughout the country. The recent trend of victimizing police personnel with impunity has provided the terrorists an easy mode to strike at the state apparatus.
Although, these attacks have been attributed to criminal elements rather than the militants in the initial investigations but it fulfils the objective of both the parties. It is imperative that the government should take solid steps in curbing these incidents and bring the culprits to justice.
