    It is an unfortunate incident, all forms terrorism should be condemned and real culprit should be punished. One after another attack is an attempt to destabilize our solid fabric of co-existence and threat to our national integrity, economic growth. Another irony is that whenever any political turmoil taking place in our country, we can hear a blast or attack in some corner of our country. Who is behind this?. Result of these tragic incidnet is that, innocent citizens lost their loved ones and simultaneously innocent people targeted and put behind the bars.
