Terror Welcomes Vice Premier of China
ISLAMABAD: The tragic incident of the blast at the JUI-F’s convention in Bajaur led to multiple fatalities on Sunday afternoon. The incident occurred on the day the vice prime minister of China He Lifeng is in Islamabad on a three-day visit.
Initial reports indicate more than 30 casualties and injuries to dozens of the JUI-F workers attending the convention. Though Pakistan has been experiencing terror attacks frequently, the timing of this incident is important as it coincides with the arrival of the Chinese Premier in Islamabad.
He Lifeng is on a three-day visit to Pakistan. He will be the chief guest at a ceremony to commemorate 10 years of CPEC, in Islamabad.
Who are the people behind this tragic incident and what are their motives? These are the questions that are being discussed.
With this blast, the terrorists and their masterminds have achieved dual goals. They have killed JUI workers and sent a strong terror message globally at the arrival of the Chinese vice prime minister.
The blast gets more importance as it occurs at the time the Chinese vice Premier is arriving in Islamabad along with a delegation.
Ostensibly, the incident is a security lapse, it has further tarnished the image of Pakistan. It also makes Pakistan more vulnerable to terror attacks.
The blast indicates that the militants and their handlers are least bothered by the warnings of Pakistani leaders, including top army brasses.
