The emphasis of my post was mainly on why IK is backing out ? he was very keen on talks so now he had a chance to play a role so then why back out ? ... after talking the talk you got to walk the walk .. making excuses then raises suspicions about his original intent or perhaps shows that he never really trusted the TTP but kept harping about talks since that’s what a large portion of his vote base wants, he did what any other politician does, played to the electorate but deep inside even he knows the reality of TTP and he wants to stay clear, stand on the side and throw poo at the army and the sitting government
There is a clear pattern here.
We must have peace in Pakistan and work to get life go back to being normal, trust me it hurts me to see barbed wire and security checks all over Islamabad, especially when I have memories of driving around on those roads having a fun time in my earlier years, so yes we have to have peace and get life back to what used to be BUT we have to get to lasting peace and once and for all close the loop holes in our national security, as of now TTP cannot be trusted since they have shown no sign of giving up violence against the state.
