Pakistan’s Imran government is so scared by the protests by opposition parties that it has issued a warning of a terrorist attack to postpone the rally. The Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM), a coalition of 11 opposition parties, is scheduled to rally in Lahore on 13 December. To prevent this, the government has issued a warning saying that the banned organization Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) can carry out terrorist activity.
However, Pakistan’s Anti-Terrorism Surveillance has expressed its inability to tell in which part of the country a potential terrorist attack may occur. ARY News of Pakistan has given this information.
In view of the PDM rally to be held in Minar-e-Pakistan, the Government of Pakistan has definitely said that the TTP can target the activities of Lahore and the coalition. According to ARY News, NACTA has stated that since its earlier counterterrorism plan was foiled, the frustrated TTP may try again. Also strict security measures with fullproof monitoring have been advised for the movements.
