Terrorism destroyed society

Society has been badly affected due to terrorist activities, as more than 3,000 terrorism incidents took places during the last three years in which thousands of Pakistanis lost their lives and economy suffered a loss of over $68 billion.
These views were expressed by speakers at a seminar held at Agriculture University Faisalabad on Monday, which was jointly organised by the survivors of some of the terrorism incidents occurred in Islamabad and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
According to them, terrorism in Pakistan has become a major and highly destructive phenomenon in recent years. The annual death toll from terrorist attacks has risen from 164 in 2003 to 3,318 in 2009, with a total of 35,000 Pakistanis killed as of 2010. The direct and indirect economic costs of terrorism from 2000-2010 stood at $68 billion. Forestry Department Head Prof Tahir Siddique stated that terrorists did not have any religion or country rather damaging Islam and Muslim by killing innocent people in the name of Islam is their goal.
“Allah has given clear message in Quran that who kills a man has killed whole humankind.”
Waqar Khalid, a survivor of a terrorist incident happened in 2009 at International Islamic University Islamabad, while sharing his experience stated that in his first thought he considered himself dead, as two of his friends who were with him at that time died. However, he survived after receiving bruises on 60 percent of his body which took six months to recover. “After surviving from that tragic incident of my life I decided to fight against terrorism by creating awareness among the youth”, he said adding that since then he conducted 12 seminars on this subject in different parts of the country including Kashmir, Punjab and Islamabad. Nawab Sher, who lost his younger brother in a tragic incident in KP, said it was the worst ever wound received by their family. He said since they lost their younger brother their family could not come to normal life.
