Taliban kidnaps school kids...

Desperation knows no bounds... Makes them cowards!

Unable to face the onslaught of the Pakistan Army, Taliban are now kidnapping school children. They have kidnapped scores of school kids and half a dozen teachers and are holding them to ransom. This is yet another in the list of their heinous crimes. 

I think they must not be flushed out as Rehman Malik says but they must be captured, tried and hanged on trees till they die. At any cost they must not be allowed to escape. Any body showing any soft corner for terrorists and criminals by words or deeds are equally culpable and must be dealt with sternly as per law. 

No supportive voices must be aired on electronic media lest it send a wrong signal to people and terrorists alike. Criticising the operation must be declared illegal.

Bad governance leads to such problems...

The problem was coming for an year why did they not plan it?

The way things were going for an year now,  it was quite expected that we had to act. And the way they were armed they were not going to go down tamely.  They had already terrorised the populations and subdued them by killings and murders and blowing up over 300 schools and police stations. Not to forecast events and take precautionary measures is the height of mismanagement and poor governance.

The State Government had to be dismissed for bad governance, Governor's rule promulgated, emergency declared and forces moved in quickly under cover of darkness and people secured well in advance. The mass movement was expected. Contingency plans demanded alternative residences to be created in advance. The way it was done smacks of apathy at the state of affairs in the affected areas. If we had a more imaginative administration there was no way this catastrophe would have taken place.

Instead of making contingency plans they were wasting their time in negotiating with the devil who was not at all representative of the people. Who do you make peace with? With shadows weilding sophisticated weapons defying all laws? Why was so much luxury afforded to the terrorists? On top of it the powerless Sufi Mohammed addresses people and declares every thing illegal, even our constitution. Precious time was lost which is the main cause of todays tragedy afflicting three million people.

Push hard and bring them to justice...

Don't buckle under pressure!

Terrorists must not raise their heads again and bring them to justice for blowing up 300 schools and killing and terrorising thousands...

Better late than never. The reaction to these terrorists must have been much earlier. They had gained such a strong foothold and people were terrorised. What is amazing is that their fuel was not stopped, their FM channels were not seized or even blocked. From where were they getting the money and weapons? This was the height of a weak government. Mr. Haider Khan Hoti must have resigned long ago. For a starter sack him.

Why do the religious parties support terrorists? They must be tried for aiding and abetting!

Isn't it nauseating when you hear guys like Munawar Hasan and other JI guys and Imran Khan opposing the action and supporting terrorists. Each time some action is taken they make a hue and cry. They have managed many times earlier to stop action and let the problem grow. Why do they do this? Why do they support such terrorists elements who are weilding the msot sophisticated weapons.
