The need of hour is to take strong action against extremists and terrorists like haqhani, TTP, Hafeez Saeed etc.

Or it will be too late.

Is it a high intensity blast or low intensity one like happened in karachi railway tracks 14 bomb blast by Sindhu Desh liberation??????????

There is no such thing as Sindhudesh blah blah.

Apparently it looks like to be a bomb in hide in a bag.d Even though the numbers of blasts have decreased in Pakistan still Pakistani security and intelligence agencies need to be vigilant to avoid such type of attacks. We can't lower our guard at this point of time when the bomb blasts are at an all time low in past few years.

I know they are doing their job but they must be very exteremely strict. Pakistan cannot afford all these things now, there should be strict intelligence network to intercept any violence/terrorist activities.

Not a suicide bomb. Planned bomb, so far 3 people have died, 1 policeman and 2 Qulis.
