As it is well known fact that activities of killing can never be justified in a good society and ABSU believes it is the common duty of every member in the society to oppose such violent activities. That creates threat for the human society and destabilizes peace in the region. There are different forms of terrorism and it must be tackled strictly to bring peace and violence free society as it has spread around the world in different ways, people must be educated to combat terrorism.

To combat terrorism, the ABSU has observed this day by organizing different events such as the worldwide campaign against terrorism since 1997, intellectual discussions, blood donation camps, burning of arms, march rallys against terrorism, and signature campaign against terrorism. Massively from 2008 has been campaigning against the illegal weapon and violence that was trying to penetrate as a culture in the youth section of the society.

ABSU could realized that the future consequences of the extremism and terrorism and also about the effect and impact in the society. The growing gun culture in the name of Arms revolution creating not only threat for a section of the society but also it has been damaging the democratic value in the democratic country.

On the other hand, the students and youth section in the society has also being worse affected due to such activities that are very much absurd ideas.
