1. Terrorism
Terrorism means the use of violence and intimidations especially for
political purpose. It is directed against persons, groups or government.
We hear of terror and violence daily. It has become an international
phenomenon. Even the advanced science and technology is unable to
forecast or check it so, it is growing grim day by a day. A wise man says:
”Terrorism is not a new activity. Even the primitive barbarians were
involved in it. The big fish have always been swallowing the small. The
stronger tribes, in the past, used to rob and murder the weaker ones.”
It occurs due to different people. Individuals terrorists commit it of
their own accord. Some international terrorist organizations work in a
planned secret way. They hire and train the terrorists to use them in the
hour of need.
There are many cause of terrorism. First, the growing rate of
unemployment among the educated young men. Young men are the great
cause of terrorism. Secondly, rising prices of the commodities of life
spread discontentment among the people which cause terrorism. Thirdly,
some international agencies try to topple a foreign government. Such
people plan bomb explosion at railways stations, airports, bus stations, big
markets hospitals and other public areas. They create a sense of
insecurity among the people. Besides bomb explosions, hijacking of plans
and kidnapping of the rich or the high ups for ransom also include in
terrorism.
Terrorism in Pakistan is not so old. It started a few years ago. Different
governments over the years have maintained ban on new recruitment.
Daylight robberies at gunpoint are committed. Banks and commercials
centers are plundered, hijacking and looting of buses and wagons have
become a daily routine. Prices of essentials are increasing discontentment
among the common people.

2. Keep in mind:
“Peace has never come from dropping bombs. Real peace
comes from enlightenment and educating people to behave more in a divine
manner”.
Different steps can be taken to check terrorism. First, the
government should force the people illegally present in Pakistan to leave
their country. Second, no one should be allowed to keep unlicensed
weapons. Third, there should be effective secret services to report all
kind of terrorists’ plans. Forth, people should be vigilant enough to
recognize the suspects. Fifth, important public places should be properly
patrolled.
