PTI supporters will say it was the Army, and you will find not one of them will come out to condemn such attacks, TTP is blowing up schools for years, now one should ask where is that idiot CM KPK? he will send his daughters/sister to schools and universities while Tribal people are getting the few remaining school blown up by TTP.

Imagine believing the army in 2026 . Especially whatever DG ISPR says is usually a lie. Fighting TTP is definitely not their main concern. They only mow the lawn so that the grass comes back in the following season. Tribal people are also the least concern.

Sooner you realise these things the better for your understanding.

Imagine believing in Taliban and Taliban khan, and his relocation plans to move throat cutters back to KPK or maybe they always lived and thrive in KPK? i don't have much sympathy for Tribal people, maybe change your ways of living and stop harboring terrorists for a change? world is in 2026 and people in KPK(TTP) still strapping children with bombs to blow up bridges and other schools.
