If ur security minister openly thinks a known and banned terrorist organization it speaks a lot.

Its best to maintain peace with everyone in Pakistan. Fighting doesn't solve anything. Look at the superpower, still stuck in Afghanistan and can not defeat Taliban.


Peace is the only solution for our problems. You can't get peace by killing.

Who is saying to kill:

1. If they have genuine problems they should be solved

2. And those are terrorists and don't want tp lay down the weapons and tries to take law in their hands should be procsecuted in the court of law.

3. See no killing involve in above.

4. But thanking terrorist organizations is too bad and gives a very bad signal that state don't have any authority and openly admit it.

It gives a simple message to the world-

If you want negotiations with talibans in our back- you will fail- you can only succeed through us- we have the power of "informal" VETO-

Sir you 'Thank' somebody when they do you a favour.

Not exploding bombs is something Talibans are supposed to do and is not a favour.

Rehman Malik should be commending the role of the LEAs in Pakistan more that arrested hundreds of sectarian militants before & during Muharram (as well as many terrorists getting killed), which is why things went well over the country.

I think you mean that exploding bombs is what the Taliban actually does. So by not exploding the bombs they have done a favour to the pakistanis.

I wish Chidu also "thanks" the LeT or Indian Mujahiddin for not carrying any bomb blasts and then we can boot him out
