Emergency has been declared in the entire area.
The attack has nothing to do with Islam: Shahbaz
The area of Peshawar where TTP carried out this attack has been considered very safe. This is where the police secretariat and other government establishments are located. The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province is currently undergoing political instability and has a caretaker government. At the behest of Imran, the government of his party had resigned. All hospitals have been alerted. Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif has condemned the attack. He said that the terrorists want to create fear in the country by targeting the people who are protecting Pakistan.

Shahbaz Sharif said that this attack has nothing to do with Islam. Pakistan’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province is a stronghold of TTP terrorists. These terrorists want the Government of Pakistan to hand over the tribal area to them. Here the government is also nominal and even many ministers charge TTP a week. A police official said a portion of the mosque collapsed in the blast and several people were believed to be trapped under its debris. The number of injured is so high that an appeal has been made to the local people for blood donation.
ISI had got Umar Khalid murdered!
Meanwhile, Mukarram Khurasani, brother of slain TTP commander Umar Khalid, and his close aide Sarbakaf have issued a statement saying that his men carried out the suicide bombing to target the police in Peshawar. He said it was revenge for the murder of my brother in Afghanistan last August. Mukarram is a council member under the TTP leadership and Mohammad Zhob is the shadow governor of the division. It is believed that Pakistani intelligence agency ISI had killed Umar Khalid by entering inside Afghanistan. Umar Khalid was also a former journalist and poet. He studied in several madrassas in Karachi city of Pakistan. His real name was Abdul Wali Mohammad.
