Later, In a report, DPO Zahid Marwat claimed that the incident that happened today was directed at the driver of the school vehicle rather than the kids.

Mahmood Khan, the Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, was made aware of the incident and gave the province’s inspector general instructions to compile a report of the investigation.

Mohsin Dawar took to Twitter and termed this incident as a portent for the Govt that seems to be losing its position in Swat repeatedly. The Swati people have been raising their voices in opposition to terrorism, but they are being disregarded, and Pashtuns are once again being abandoned to their fate, the lawmaker added.

The attack on a school van in Swat should serve as a wake up call for the state that appears to be losing its writ in Swat once again. The people of Swat have been protesting against terrorism but their voices are being ignored. Pashtuns are being thrown to the wolves again.

Following the incident’s reporting, a large number of private school students and teachers in Swat demonstrated against terrorism in the area.

Crowds marched at Nishat Chowk in Mingora holding banners and placards with messages of peace. Moreover, they sang phrases calling for peace in the area and Swat regions.

The demonstrators claimed that over the previous three months, the situation about law and order in Swat had gotten worse. We understand why the security services are powerless in the face of a small number of alleged terrorists, the protester remarked. We understand the whole truce drama they also added.
