Pakistan’s civilian government, widely perceived as pro-Taliban, seems to have turned down the apprehensions of its security apparatus and released 16 terrorists from custody. The ridiculous cover-up of this decision and poor media spin clearly shows the suspect nature of this unwarranted initiative. There are rumors in Pakistan’s capital, Islamabad, that caving in to the demands of Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan’s (TTP) is not without a reason; Pakistani politicians are building a covert understanding, if not an alliance, with TTP and its terror outfits to pitch the two warring sides, Pakistani state (army) and terrorists against each other so that the politicians can continue with their usual game of loot and plunder of national resources without any fear of intervention from the armed forces.
Pakistan’s prime minister, Nawaz Sharif is known for his confrontation with country’s powerful generals since the 1990s and it was his lust for absolute power which led to the sacking of his government in October, 1999.
There are known reasons of friction between the generals and politicians; ceasefire with TTP in the month of March when Army had initiated an operation and was confident to eliminate the terrorists, unwarranted appeasement of terrorists through giving them recognition as if they were a state unto themselves and army-bashing through initiation of a questionable treason case against former army chief, Gen Musharraf. All these initiatives, believe the analysts, are aimed at pressuring the army to be pliant or else. The outreach to terrorists and their unqualified praise for right-wing parties do not augur well for Pakistan’s wider national security calculus. On top of that, the media has been enlisted to give wide coverage to the demands of terrorists. These terrorists, army has many reasons to believe, are funded and armed by security agencies of Afghanistan and India, Pakistan’s neighboring archrivals.
The unfolding game of alliances and concessions clearly suggest that, at least to the extent of Afghanistan, government is trying to render armed forces partially irrelevant. As for India, the people of Pakistan would not let the government take any action which could demoralize their forces.
Are the politicians building a secret alliance with terrorists against Pakistan Army?
