It is very hard at least in these days to celebrate the successes that Pakistan Military is achieving in South Waziristan.
As three children waited impatiently with their mother in their car, two terrorists blew themselves up in the parking lot in the Shalimar plaza in the heart of Rawalpindi. The area is in the vicinity of GHQ which just weeks ago had come under a fierce militant attack. Later in the evening, Babu Sabu interchange came under suicide attack in which a constable gave his life to save the lives of many who live in Lahore that the west describes as the cultural hub of Pakistan.
Listen to any government high up and they would conveniently tell you these attacks indicate the frustration of militants as the army breaks their back in operations against them. But they do not realize how scared the citizens of the country feel out on the streets. Our brothers and sisters (IDPs) fled their homes to help authorities achieve their goal.
India never misses an opportunity to create unrest in Pakistan but according to many senior personnel India does not have the ability to cause terror in cities in Pakistan.
All of this relates to Pakistan’s own fight against militancy, something that one keeps on hearing about ever since the Path of Deliverance began.
But how can one ignore what the west thinks about Pakistan’s efforts to root out terrorism. After all we are assured and reassured time again that we are a very close friend of United States in the fight against terrorism. Richard Holbrook had right at the onset of the Operation Rah e Nijaat had said that United States did not have definitive answers as to how the Operation was progressing. But what he did know was that the target was not Al Qaeda because Al Qaeda was a shadowy group of people who were on the move. US indifference was further cemented by Hilary Clinton’s statements suggesting that Pakistani authorities knew where Al Qaeda was in Pakistan and if they didn’t that US couldn’t buy that!
The case of Indian sponsorship of terrorism in Pakistan should be brought to the fore in the international arena so that they realize the role Pakistan is playing not only in countering its conventional threat that now makes it self available on western borders but also continues to be an effective partner in the global hunt for Al Qaeda going on for eight years now!
