I am surprised that this wasn’t posted as this has become rather rare in Pakistan since the military operation from last year.

To be a devil’s advocate, does this mean that KP police reforms aren’t enough if not completely failed if this has happened? Suicide blasts aren’t happening all over Pakistan as terrorists are on the run.

Perhaps it is time Imran takes a bold step and calls for closure of violent deobandi madarsas which are root cause of this mayhem. Of course, he might loose jamat / right-wing supporters but doesn’t he say that he has a mission when it comes to politics? We are leaving these snake factories open while taking care of stray snakes here and there.

I think Imran can gather more support later when terrorism ends and companies do decide to invest in the shuttered industrial units in KP in a safe environment. If only he had the vision and forethought to do it.

Very nice. When it doesn’t suit your agenda, no no, reduction of terrorism has nothing to do with police reforms, it’s all Zarb e Azb. But when it suits your agenda, KPK police has failed to combat terrorism. Last time I checked, the war is still going on. One unfortunate incident of terrorism after a massive space of time cannot discredit zarb e azb or KPK police reforms/performance. Let’s not get carried away.

And what do you mean suicide blasts aren’t happening anywhere else? Blasts weren’t happening in KPK either! But KPK had always been the biggest target of suicide attacks both in peak of terrorism and in downtime. The tragedy of being right next door to FATA.

As with your obsession of IK starting a sectarian war in Pakistan - the day he builds enough schools to accommodate every single madarassah kid in KPK, he can afford to chant slogans against deobandies and asked for complete shut down of maddarrasahs. Until then, for goodness sake Immy, stay the hell away from jumping in any ethnic/sectarian quagmire. Look what it did to Karachi.
