I think the recent bomb blast at Lahore railway station was an attempt of the terrorists and our foes to besmirch the image of the country. It seems as if the terrorists had been reactivated by their masters after a short period of rest.
Every action of terrorists, no matter intentionally or un-intentionally, has a clear-cut aim to create terror among the masses but I think now Lahore is specially targeted to foil the efforts of Mr Zaka Ashraf, the chairman of Pakistan Cricket Board, for making a comeback of international cricket in Pakistan. The law and order situation of Karachi, Quetta, Peshawar and now Lahore is not in favour of holding an international event.
If we really want to resume the international cricket in our country, we have to defuse the prevailing security turmoil. Terrorists want to defile the image of the country and we will have to beat them with strong commitment and effective security measures.
