I appeal to the Supreme Court of Pakistan to order a judiciary inquiry into the terrorist attack in Lahore on May 27, reportedly killing 30 and injuring 300 innocent citizens. Daily 'The Nation' has reported details of the security lapse in its issue of June 3 captioned 'Terror attack footage exposes security lapse.'

The way our police and civilian intelligence services are working, there might be many more terrorist attacks in the time ahead causing enormous loss of precious life and property. There has been three deadly terrorist attacks in Lahore in just 3 months. The public does'nt know what happened in the earlier two attacks, who were the attackers, who lapsed in their duties, what action was taken to punish the guilty officials and what measures were put in place to prevent such attacks in the future. Likewise, the public may never be able to know the truth in the case of May 27 disaster as well.

The federal and the provincial governments are still unable to plan and implement a comprehensive, professional and pragmatic security plan for the city of Lahore. Instead, the police has resorted to the traditional 'Naka Bandi' and wasteful body and vehicle searches, causing extreme hardship and loss of time to the travelling public.
