As for the blaming PTI our urban terrorist mafia party has not only blamed Imran but they actually want to register FIR against him without even waiting to find out who carried out this terrorist act.
We obviously can't take this crap seriously by Talibans that they don't target innocent people but they proudly claimed responsibility of all recent attacks excluding this one in Peshawar so it's definitely seems the case of "Behti ganga main haath dhona". Hopefully it doesn't turn into sectarian attack.
For once, Imran Khan needs to become REAL politician and declare that "Although he supports peace talks, he will stand behind federal government whatever decision they make". He won't have to change his stance and won't be blamed as much. All he needs to do is keep issuing statements "I condemn this act of terrorism and stand behind fed gov to resolve this issue".
An attempt to turn them violent as well? Or a retaliatory act on peaceful people? Another tragic day in Pakistan!
One point of view believes that this attack could be to punish tableeghi jamaat as they have not taken up arms yet. That's another thing that if this happens TJ will lose a lot of following, even now people feel TJ pretty much conspicuous by its mute response to the terrorism going on in the country.
i think it's lot easier to attack tableeGhii Jamaa'at during maGhrib and Isha prayers on a Thursday because they have the heaviest attendance at that time with almost no screening of people for explosives. they are soft targets...sitting ducks!
i think you will soon see musallah [armed] jamaa'tis walking around giving da'va.

Its their strict policy to be mute on such affairs along with political ones. Have you also seen them issuing any fatwas?. They are keeping it strictly non-controversial and apolitical. But if tablighi jamaat start issuing fatwas against taliban then they might be then targeted by taliban. Taliban have condemned the attack, they have not done it, usually they proudly take responsibility for their attacks. In our areas there is great respect for tabligh among people including those who are taliban. Taliban have attacked civilians in the past but their new policy under fazalullah is to stop attacking civilians and purely focusing on killing security forces , i hope he sticks to that. Other than taliban there are also other hidden forces who do bomb blasts...........At one time blackwater was very active in doing car bomb balsts in bazaars of peshawer...................this attack i believe is done by some extremist shia group...

my indian friend, you would be surprised to know that it is first time tablighi jamaatis are ever attacked in pakistan , yes they are soft target but keep in mind that they were never the target of taliban....................this attack with planted bomb reeks of sectarian war which in my opinion has taken new angle after pindi incident, shias have adopted rather more aggressive and violent stance against any deobandi group whether they are ahl-sunnat wal jammat, tablighi jamaat or taliban.

I don't know why you are giving him suggestions to work his way out instead of suggesting him to change his views.
People killed by those mufsideen want JUSTICE by punishing the responsible. This is the most fundamental right of every person. Punish the culprits who killed someone.
Yet Imran and his likes in PMLN tell the family to just go make peace with culprits. They don't even condemn these murders by naming the culprits.
I think this is what Imran should do. We need to focus on saving Pakistan instead of saving Imran's skin.
but, TableeGhii jamaa'at is considered the most peaceful. they concentrate more on 'ibaadaat than a Hukoomat.
this is the reason that US gave them visitor/preaching visa even right after 9/11 because they knew their agenda. they had free entry and exit through US borders with Canada. they still are the non-political entity within Islam.
Here you go this is the thing Messrs Taliban & Co do not understand - waging a useless war against USA - you can not fight with the USA with your crackers! If USA leave Afghanistan - it would be same like it has been for the last 300 years - constant war - Taleban can not go beyond Kabul - North will remain unconquerable for them!
This particular bomb blasts reminds me of the the 1987 Karachi blasts done by the anti Pakistan Afghan Government.
