Sir: Yet another tragic and inhumane incident of suicide bombing occurred in Peshawar, targeting Christian churchgoers. Some 83 people, including women and children, were subjected to death and many others were injured. The responsibility for this heinous attack was claimed by a wing of the Pakistani Taliban. This is a very clear message of rebuffing the peace talks; it seems the Taliban are dead set to continue their attacks against the country. Ironically, our political leaders are still dreaming that peace will be achieved by taking some exceptional steps and talking to the Taliban forces. This is a failure of our government; it has failed to protect the minorities and even the general populace from massacres and slaughter. Our political leaders must follow the counter-terrorism policy and deploy the military in Taliban-dominated areas to wipe them out through immediate operations.
