  1. Even in holy month of ramadan these barbaric continuous to bleed country but nothing or anything will be done by government till now.The role of police have been rescue teams and police arrives when everything is over instead police main duty to hunt and eliminate treats before such incidents.Civil forces needs overhaul especially police which is primary force. Pakistan suffering by multiple foreigner funded and supported terrorists and mostly India and Afghan sponsored terrorists destabilizing country. Afghan refuges also need to send back as mostly of agents and terrorists are in form of refuges which is great treat to country law and order situation.
