Honourable Sir,
The fact that you travelled across Pakistan without any incident does not mean that peace prevails in Pakistan. I have also visited Pakistan during 2016 and thankfully remained safe. This is because there are 200-million souls in Pakistan and only about 60,000 or so have lost their lives. That is only 0.03%; meaning that chances of an unobtrusive traveller getting hurt are small.
I however look at it from a different angle. In 2017 thus far a total of 393 civilians and 124 security personnel have been martyred by the terrorists. There was no reason for it.

Undoubtedly Operation Radd al Fassaad has managed to reduce the terrorist’s incidents; never the less violence still goes on. Operation Radd al Fassaad was launched on Feb 22, 2017. Since you may not take my word for it, I am noting down the links to the news of the major incidents from March 2017 onwards.

Pakistan is my country too and living abroad has not diminished the pain I feel each time I read an innocent Pakistani is martyred. In my opinion human life is sacred and this number is far too many. Without people of the area providing safe houses and support, terrorists, whether Raw /CIA funded or not, cannot carry out the attacks. That is the reason I maintain that we need to change the ‘MINDSET’ which motivates the facilitators. This is not doing Allah’s work but working for the Satan.
