In a tragic incident, terrorists launched an attack on police lines in Bannu, resulting in the martyrdom of three police officers and injuring several others. This devastating incident has sparked widespread condemnation, with Mian Iftikhar Hussain, Provincial President of the Awami National Party (ANP), strongly denouncing the attack ¹.

To combat terrorism effectively, the ANP has stressed the need for emergency measures to enhance police capabilities. “The police have made immense sacrifices in the war against terrorism,” Hussain acknowledged. “It’s essential to strengthen their capacity to ensure public safety.”
The incident has raised questions about the government’s performance in maintaining law and order. The ANP has called for a comprehensive policy to restore peace and eliminate terrorism in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa ² ³.
