Lets take the stock of the present situation. The crooks who are ruling us were brought in with the agreement and full backing of the "establishment" or deep state as we say. Hence the NRO. Its irrelevant of what a commoner think of that. Now to say, the since the political elite is not doing its job and not shoulder to shoulder with the military, I am afraid is no argument. Establishment dry cleaned these leeches, why try to hide behind now against the incompetency of these lot? Is that some sort of jail break card whenever sh|t hits the fan that these crooks are made an excuse of perhaps hiding own incompetency?
My friend, as compare to past, current process through Judiciary and what Courts are doing actually speaks volume about transition from past to good future as present is busy with cleaning the mess. Whosoever, from establishment brought these leeches back, cannot deny or stop how the justice is being served currently. The mess is so big and may take time but not long.
No military or intelligence needs a certificate from incumbent government to act in the name of national security. It is part of their job, their portfolio. The one facet of national security is offensive defence. While its understandable that not all terrorist activities can be stopped but when such events occur, there has to be an immediate reappraisal within the enemy nation's sovereign land (not disputed territory) with vengeance and with interest. This is the area where Pakistani nation has been lead down miserably, ever since the "enlighten moderates" took control.
Two things here. Inland action does not need any permission, therefore, this is not the argument at all because Military is doing every possible thing and we both agree that these attacks cannot be stopped totally but sooner. However, speaking of inhouse cleaning, you may remember that how political thugs actually conditioned everything through legislation from Assembly/Parliament that even if Rangers has to take actions in province, there are conditions defined by the civilian government as how to act which actually limits the power of action. The same approach and needed law is only possible when Courts are done with these culprits and eligible/competent people make it to the parliament then may expect reforms in law where at least LEAs will be doing the needed thing without getting into useless process and orders of provincial government. Situation in Baluchistan is different to other provinces and for better comparison we can see that how KPK became more safer than before and we see much peace as compare to past.
The same kind of approach is needed in Baluchistan and beside external elements, funding and many enemies; civilian government is unwilling yet comprising of very less competent heads to fight together with the maniac. Just today, I was reading a news w.r.t. Baluchistna Assembly members are protesting for unpaid bonus allegedly promised by CM in past so the one thinks, there is no one among Government Lines to shame them as are you here to ask for bonuses where people are dying of terrorism or left to the mercy of Sardars sitting in Assembly. People like Achakzai and Asfandyar are sheltered by PMLn government etc so Military cannot jump directly to deal with them.
For any revenge on foreign land, I will repeat, the same needs many resources that includes civilian government backing behind closed doors as to handle pressure and not to be called some kind of rogue military that, in my opinion, current political lot will not miss a chance even to do so. Therefore, under such circumstances, only available options are utilized that few days back COAS visited Afghanistan, also met with US authorities and many others whereby we had good news about hunting many big names of TTP & ISIS. This war wide and being backed by different parties as per their interests and love of proxies where we are almost alone to deal with hence, needs proper arrangement and careful steps and not to be responsible in hurry at all. That is all I can say at the moment.
Don't hide behind the failures of others because, specially when they were brought in with full consent of all relevant quarters, ultimately the buck stop at the top. Pakistan internal and external security is the domain of law enforcement agencies, intel and military.
Yes it is and for internal and external security, I said as above.
Then its a problem with the deep state itself which has either become incompetent or lost control. I don't know how many times I have brought this, when JFK tried to challenge the "system" in his country, he was given bullet there any then, without much fuss and he was the most popular civilian leader in that country. Pakistan has been lead to dogs by the so called defenders of this country and its ideology, I am amused that the crook political elite is still used as a smoke screen to cover the failures. And the sore thumb keeps on sticking out, that question that no one wants to answer, WHO brought these scumbags to power?
As I said in this post above, the things are getting changed and there is no involvement further as such. Whosoever brought at that time, whosoever means any name, are also gone in history and Pakistan learnt from mistakes hence, doors are closed for any such possibility at all. However, saying the same again & again is not going to do any good further and the process remains here. For such high quality justice system and cleaning, it needs time and cannot be done over night.
Edit: Just today, Global Terrorism Index shows that Pakistan is at fifth and being removed from top 20 most dangerous countries, that actually speaks volume about our efforts in war against terrorism.
