you are always welcome my dear.. (reference to your question about India, short answer is no. and I urge you not go get baited into that debate which is normally thrown by some Nawaz league people to get us off the main subject).
I invite Indians to my dinner table, this is an open forum you are most welcome. your views give us a different angle which is pretty much the bread and butter of any lively debate
the Nawaz league has shown itself an open supporter and apologist of Taliban & Sectarian terrorists and their usual response to this is what Pakistan army and its Spy Agency did in Bangladesh, India, Afghanistan.
no national institution should be beyond reproach and beyond criticism but that should be done from the domestic perspective in mind and from nationalistic point of view.
problem with Nawaz league is that it was gone so overboard with its personal vendetta against the Pakistan military that it domestically it has hand picked people that are chronically obsessed with Pakistan military hatred and internationally it seeks the approval and applause from countries that have their own axes to grind against Pakistan military.
the insistence for continued dialogue despite the bombs being blown up and people being beheaded and assassinated, praising the TTP in the parliament, offering prayers to Osama, condemning America over killing of Al Qaeda and TTP leadership and vowing to revolt against the army are one of the many few things that has earned Nawaz league and its supporters a lot of praise from taliban and as a gratitude they "offered " security to Nawaz league election rallies (including Jamat Islami and PTI).
the recent "incident" in karachi where Hamid Mir has received unknown number of bullet wounds (the doctors that operated him and the Geo Channel Staff has lost the ability to count) has been used by Jang/ Geo group to malign ISI and they opened up a smear campaign within 20 minutes of the incident without any prior, credible proof. when their campaign didnt work their way & public rejected their absurd claims and even resulted in criticism from fellow media outlets then Geo retracted its stories and claims and even removed the entire content from their sites .....
so hang on
where does Nawaz league fit in?
well it fits in very comfortably and snug with a smug on its face that is arch enemy was battered by one of its darling media group.Although it is in power but its still acting like a rebel and a hostile. being a government party it should have come forward and issued a statement urging Geo group to follow media code of conduct and not run a campaign based on a suspicion and dont present an allegation as a proof. but the kind of narrow minded, vindictive and tight arsed son of a goat that Nawaz Sherif is.... he preferred to stay quiet and went to visit the "injured" top dog of Journalistic awesomeness whose views match very closely to Nawaz league.
on the other hand the same Nawaz league leadership didnt even offer a word of condolence to the army men beheaded by its Taliban "brothers" and then it wants us to believe that the trial against Musharaf is not a vendetta and not against Army...although the ranting and mocking by its hawks inside and outside the.
......
life is good for the house of Sherifs... money is growing in its domestic and foreign businesses, its political rivals are reduced to their provinces, its allies have got the much needed relief to retreat safely to Afghanistan and its mortal enemy is bruised and demoralised
Many Thanks for your kind words.And for this detailed post,it was quite informative and enlightening.And I'm sorry that I got you wrong the first time.
Wrt your Nawaz Sharif,trust me,he's no way the only one,we've got such politicians just like him here in India too.The chief minister of our very state,Mamata "didi" has publicly praised the Naxalite bastards who are equally savage like your TTP on record in more than one occasion.
And just like in Pakistan,there are also in India including that one prime ministerial candidate Khujliwal who openly support the naxalite bastards - both moral and monetary!!Heck we even have a whole damn university (Jawaharlal Nehru University or JNU) that churns out future naxalite leaders and supporters.The students and professors openly cheer and ridicule the sacrifices of the soldiers (predominantly CRPF) and condemns and protests the deaths/arrests of those naxalite bastards.
So as you can see sir,our situation is not that different from each other.Now due to the densely forested and mountainous terrain where the naxalites are hiding in,it has become very tough for our security forces to defeat them decisively,as a former serviceman,you would definitely know better.I hope your forces could wipe those TTP scums out for good.Your countrymen definitely do not deserve them.
