“Wherever There Are Khawarij, There Will Be Action:”
It must be made absolutely clear: the state will strike wherever Khawarij are found, without hesitation and without compromise.
In recent operations near populated areas in Bajaur, some social media voices have tried to raise doubts about the necessity of such actions. The response is simple: when terrorists embed themselves among civilians, the blame lies not with those who fight them, but with those who protect or tolerate them.
The people must understand this: any form of support, sheltering, silence, or sympathy, makes you a participant in their war against Pakistan.
This is not theory. This is the painful reality we’ve witnessed in parts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. In many areas, Khawarij have re-emerged, not because they are powerful, but because communities have hesitated to report them. That silence has been their greatest weapon.
A recently surfaced video shows Khawarij in Bajaur moving with weapons and ammunition. This is not just footage, it’s a red flag. A sign that these defeated enemies are trying to regroup. And if locals do not react now, with information, with awareness, and with zero tolerance, then tomorrow could look like yesterday, when terror ruled unchecked.
Let it be understood: terrorists do not survive on ideology alone. They survive through facilitators, those who, for greed, fear, or misplaced loyalty, give them shelter, resources, or information. These enablers are not separate from the terrorists; they are an extension of their violence. And their fate will be the same.
Tribal hospitality, traditional customs, and community values are being exploited, used as camouflage by enemies of peace. That must end. Mere condemnation is no longer enough. Every village, every elder, every household must choose a side. There is no middle ground anymore.
Security is not only the duty of the state, it is the collective responsibility of the nation. Reporting a suspicious person or activity is not betrayal, it is an act of patriotism, of self-preservation. The price of silence is too high. It costs lives, it costs peace, it costs the future.
Now is the moment for a unified response, not just in Bajaur, but across every inch of territory where this cancer threatens to grow back. No terrorist must find refuge. No sympathiser must go unnoticed. And no act of facilitation must go unpunished.
This is the only way to uproot the Khawarij once and for all. This is the road to peace. And it is a road we must walk together, fearlessly and without delay.
