inquiry order

Lahore is a city in the Punjab province. Chief Minister Usman Buzdar has ordered an inquiry into the incident. The investigation has been handed over to the National Anti Terror Department. Buzdar has called for a report from the police in this matter within 24 hours. It is believed that similar attacks could happen in some other parts of the city as well. Therefore, the Bomb Disposal Squad of the army has been deployed.

 

no one took responsibility

No terrorist group has claimed responsibility for this incident so far, but the direct and first suspicion is on Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan i.e. TTP. The ceasefire agreement between the Pakistan government and the TTP expired last month. Then TTP had threatened that it would now show the mirror to the Pakistan government that how it is cheating the people in the name of Islam.

 

Most of the TTP leaders and terrorists are in Afghanistan these days. Recently, Pakistan had killed a former TTP spokesperson in military action. After this, the terrorist organization threatened to take revenge. The Afghan Taliban had asked the Pakistan government to resolve the issues through talks with the TTP. The Afghan Taliban refused to interfere or mediate, calling the matter an internal dispute of Pakistan.
