A peaceful tourist destination became a scene of unimaginable tragedy; there is no bravery in abducting unarmed police officers. There is no honour in executing men who dedicated their lives to protecting their own communities. What happened in Ziarat was not resistance, nor was it a struggle for any noble cause. It was an act of pure terrorism carried out by individuals who thrive on fear, bloodshed, and the suffering of innocent people.

On the night of 6-7 July, terrorists attacked police personnel in Kach Mangi Phase-III, Ziarat. Several officers were abducted. Some were martyred during the attack, while others were taken away alive. Instead of showing even the most basic respect for human life, the terrorists later murdered the remaining captives. Such acts expose their true character. They do not fight with courage. They kill through ambush, kidnapping, and execution.

The fallen officers were sons of Ziarat. They were not outsiders. They served their own people, protected tourists, maintained law and order, and risked their lives every day so others could live in peace. Their sacrifice reflects the highest ideals of public service. The terrorists who murdered them represent the exact opposite. They destroy what others build. They spread fear where others create hope.
