So you are suggesting we spend a whole load of money investigating this supposed link, antagonize and divide a national institution only to discover they may have had dealings in the 80s.
Whilst there are Ghadars running around in Baluchistan and FATA blowing up heritage sites and killing women.
We need priorities, and priorities are to uproot TTP, BLA and their sympathizers.
Take your "Pashtun" racial idealism to Afghanistan and live there in the hell hole they have created for themselves.
I am sick of Pakistan being divided on ethnic lines because certain people think they are superior to others.
It is necessary that the genesis of these terrorist groups be looked in to. No use overlooking the Elephant in the room. Pakistani Army was the originating axis of all these terror and sundry groups and that is not any more a deniable fact. Why is it necessary?
Plainly because what needs to be seen is the REASON for their genesis.
The reason was the willingness of the Pakistani Army to create proxies to CONTROL & LIMIT the opinion and ground situation inside Pakistan (Bloody Civilian Types) and also outside Pakistan (The Afghanistan Backyard & The Hindu Baniyas & at one point of time the grand design also included the Shias of Iran).
Does that willingness still exist?
Looking at the affinity for the Good Taliban and the Proverbial NON - STATE ACTORS, clearly the reason STILL EXISTS!
Though it is said many times, but one cannot once again help but add that there is no selectiveness in terrorism. The only difference between Freedom Struggle (as they are so often fondly called in Pakistan) and Terrorists is the clarity of objective and the clear identification of enemy. In the muddle that the Pakistani Army has created, there are several of these Freedom Fighters (Terrorists??) who are not only seeking freedom often from each other and in general also from Pakistan because the objective that was provided to them was to seek a "Pure Muslim State". Could there be more lack of clarity of objective and that of the enemy? (
).
If these groups need to be reined in, it has to happen under the political will and leadership, by an army which follows more orders than keeping political aspirations or seeking Strategic Depth of the types which is currently evidently sinking Pakistan. Unwilling army individuals need to be cut to size if necessary and removed completely from the scene. Only then, with a lot of sacrifices over a long period will this problem START diminishing. But hey, there needs to be a start eh..
Or take the easier way out.... legalize their opinion and direct them all to India, Afghanistan, Iran as was done all the while and allow Pakistan to be even more radicalized very quickly and become truly a country of Mohhammadens.
And hey, respect the ethnicities. Diversity is good.
