I regret to inform this, but what has happened, has happened. On a back to back of 6 days, these militants have killed over 100 people in different parts in Pakistan.
Yesterday, a suicide attack in a popular shrine in Pakistan has killed at least 72 people, the bomber blew himself up during a sacred dance, on a Thursday, which is considered as a sacred day by the Muslims.
After a couple of years of diminishing violence credited to a military operation that kicked off in June 2014, the militants appear to have returned with a vengeance.
In six back-to-back attacks since Sunday, suicide bombers have killed nearly 100 people in different parts of the country.
There have been some spectacular, though sporadic, attacks in recent months that have exacted a significant toll on human life.
But the latest surge stands out in so far as it has come amid reports of the reunification of some powerful factions of the Pakistani Taliban. Some of these groups have links with the Afghanistan-Pakistan chapter of the so-called Islamic State which itself is composed largely of a former faction of the Pakistani Taliban.
This surge has blown the lid off an air of complacency that was brought on by statements of the military and civilian leaders to the effect that Pakistan had successfully defeated the militants.
The army chief, General Qamar Javed Bajwa, now seems to have lost patience. On Thursday he issued a veiled threat to some neighbouring countries that "each drop of [the] nation's blood shall be avenged, and avenged immediately. No more restraint for anyone".
Pakistani officials have been accusing Afghanistan of not eliminating the sanctuaries of anti-Pakistan militants on its soil.
It has also been blaming India for using Afghan soil to foment trouble in Pakistan. But many here believe that militancy refuses to die down because Pakistan continues to tolerate selective militant structures as cover for its own covert wars that sustain the economy of its security establishment.
