Allama Iqbal’s Mausoleum Closed for Citizens due to Security Threats

It was recently reported from Lahore that the 76^th death ceremony of the national poet, Allama Iqbal, could not be held due to security threats received by the security forces.

Recently there have been several events where the security forces have received confirmed information regarding a certain incident, and a bomb blast has taken place. Therefore, in order to avoid the risk, the security forces decided to absolutely ban entry from the public site.

In fact, there were two other places where the security forces decided to impede and stated that the entry will be banned. These places included Quaid E Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah’s Mausoleum and Minar E Pakistan.

Sources claim that there have been impending threats by the terrorists regarding these few public places; however, no one currently knows as to who is forwarding these threats to the authorities.

In a recent statement released by Tehreek E Taliban, they claimed that they are not going to attack public places from now on. This statement has been welcomed by the Pakistani government but now this third party claims that they currently pose a threat on these three public places and anything can happen at any time. Therefore, the authorities have taken notice.
