Re: are we?
We are fighting TTP…and other terrorist groups…Afghan Taliban are not operating from Pak…but yes TTP is operating from Afghanistan and India is providing full support that is financially and with weapons…on top of that, Afghan Govt, who have history of hostility against Pakistanand does not have capability to control anything out of its Presidential Palace or Kabul at best…Pakistan have to take measures to protect its interests…
Coming to US support, it was like somebody pointing gun at you and asking you to do something… The money US give is not additional but is reimbursement of funds… I hope one knows what that means…
Coming down to Fareed Zakaria and his article, which have been written to malign Pakistan’s image and interest… And in this scenario one would use parts of truth to support his point of view…and i don’t blame him, it his job which he is doing for his motherland…
Pakistan have certain influence on Taliban..and that is there to use them in its interest…Taliban again are not Pakistani army… And it is that influence which brought both Afghan govt and Taliban om negotiations in Murree earlier this year… But kinds of Zakaria would use to malign Pakistan’s image…and Pakistan needs a secure border for economic prosperity…which Zakaria and his country men won’t digest…
