DERA ISMAIL KHAN:
JUI-F leader Maulana Fazlur Rehman on Saturday offered condolences to the families of the five people martyred in a suicide attack that struck a wedding ceremony in Dera Ismail Khan, denouncing the attack as not just an attack on a social gathering but a blow that deeply wounds the collective conscience of the society.
Expressing solidarity with the bereaved families, the JUI-F leader said he shared their grief and anguish, adding that such incidents leave society “gasping in pain” long after the immediate tragedy has passed.
He warned that recurring acts of violence were gradually eroding public trust and amplifying a broader sense of insecurity across the country.
He criticized the state’s handling of internal security, saying that while government institutions and security forces frequently highlight their sacrifices and efforts to maintain peace, the reality experienced by citizens tells a different story.
