According to Dr. Maleeha Lodhi, in her book “The Threat of All Threats”
“There is no single silver bullet that can address global terrorism in all its complexity”.
Numerous measures must be taken to effectively combat terrorism, including addressing poverty, promoting social justice, improving literacy rates, and eliminating sectarianism, among others. It’s crucial not to stereotype Muslims as terrorists or assume that all terrorists are Muslim. Violence can be perpetrated by individuals of any race or religion to advance their agenda.
The CTF should be administered at the provincial level and possibly decentralized to district levels to address overlapping jurisdictional issues. Given the extensive geographical spread of terrorism across Pakistan, coordination for inter-provincial cooperation falls under the responsibility of the Inter-Ministerial (IM) body.
