Pakistan possess the repute of “Terrorist state” worldwide. Yes, we were! We were the biggest victims of terrorism but we were/are not terrorists. Pakistan has lost a lot due to terrorism. Oh yes, you have come here to know the darkest side of Pakistan,
Fortunately, there isn’t anymore.
Let me tell you what Pakistan has for you!
We are Terrorists – No more!
Pakistan has eradicated terrorism in the pace which no other nation had done before. We were the biggest victims of terrorism since 2015 with terrorism index reaching more than 2,000 attacks every year killing thousands of People. But, in the very next year this rate dropped by 45%. Forbes quoted
“Terrorism is now at its lowest level since 2006, in part because of the army’s Zarb-e-Azb operation which has removed militant safe havens in the North Waziristan region.”
When we used to turn on our TV channels. All we get was xxx number of people died in this blast and yyy number of people died in another blast but things have changed a bit in 2019.
Because all we get on our TV channels now is Fawad Chaudhary roasting fellow parliamentarians and Sheikh Rasheed blasting on Shehbaz Sharif.
And we prefer this a lot! Like, a lot!
