Attacks sabotage intensify in Pakistan after Taliban success in Afghanistan

Gwadar – On Friday, a bomb blast rocked the Pakistani city of Gwadar. It is claimed to be a suicide attack. It was reported on social media that about six Chinese engineers were killed in the attack. Pakistani police said three people were killed and two children were injured in the blast. At the same time, there have been reports of solid protests in Gwadar against China’s ongoing China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) project in Pakistan. Analysts have warned that the killings and violence in Pakistan are on the rise due to the anarchy in Afghanistan.

Pakistani analysts are worried that the Taliban‘s takeover of Afghanistan will make Pakistan extremely insecure. Their concerns are not unfounded, as evident by the events over the past few days. On Thursday, a bomb blast in a religious procession in Pakistan’s northwestern city of Bahawalnagar killed at least six people and injured 59 others. Then came the news of a bomb blast in Gwadar. Although not all the details have been revealed yet, there is a strong possibility that these may be saboteur acts. It is also being claimed on social media that the blast was aimed at Chinese engineers. It was reported on social media that six Chinese engineers had been killed. But it has not been officially confirmed.

Taliban gaining control in Afghanistan is a matter of great satisfaction for Pakistan, claiming the country’s extremists. Pakistan’s Prime Minister Imran Khan has also openly expressed happiness over it. But analysts and senior journalists believe that the effects will soon be felt in Pakistan, where the Taliban’s victory has strengthened extremists and terrorist organizations. The Taliban have released Tehrik-e-Taliban militants from prisons in Afghanistan. All of them have warned that this one issue should be enough to make Pakistan insecure.

Over the past few days, there has been a significant increase in attacks on Pakistan’s military and attacks on sectarian hatred and violence against women. Analysts point out that the victory of the Taliban in Afghanistan is a gift to Pakistan. Not only that, on Friday, there were reports in the media that some Pakistani religious organizations had raised Taliban flags issuing a stern warning to the Pakistani government. The press cited this news and infer that Pakistan will have to face a fierce internal conflict soon.
