Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf (PTI) has suggested to adopting multi-pronged approach involving all the notable figures of different schools of thought to curb sectarian violence in Dera Ismail Khan, where a large number of innocent people have fallen prey to target killing, suicide bombings and kidnap over the last couple of years.

Solution to all these ills lies with the people, who need to forge unity against anti-state elements, PTI D.I.Khan leader Muhammad Yahya said during his visit to Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) and some other hospitals of the Federal Capital where last weeks suicide bomb blast victims were being treated.

Around 50 injured were shifted to various hospitals after they were being referred by the hospitals in D.I.Khan. He sympathised with injured and assured them of full support by PTI. He said PTI was seriously concerned over deteriorating security situation in D.I.Khan where people feel insecure even to carry out their routine business.

A conspiracy is being hatched to spark violence in this peaceful district, and there is a need for reversing the situation. He said last week, a suicide bomber blew himself up in the midst of a funeral procession near Shobrah Hotel, killing several innocent people. After the blast the district has witnessed a number of target killing incidents despite an elaborate security cover being in place.

Yahya called upon the citizens to remain alert against acts of anti-state elements, who wanted to pursue their malicious designs by dividing the people. We need to forge unity to foil the nefarious designs of all those who want to create rifts among us.

The district was so calm and peaceful in the past that it formed an attractive spot for recreation. People from suburban as well as adjoining areas used to come to D.I.Khan on holidays and Eids. The PTI leader called for taking solid steps to restore peace in D I Khan.
