Imran:
“The time has come to not only remove all militant groups, disarm them but also a de-weaponisation in Pakistan”

Imran is saying that he will disarm the militant groups. That’s very noble. But does anyone believe that these groups will disarm voluntarily? No. If any attempt is made then they will resist fiercely by initiating more terrorist strikes across the country.
Actually, this is what Pakistan army did. We were supporting Taliban once but later we started going after them. Taliban retaliated by conducting relentless suicide attacks across Pakistan.

So this actually nullifies one of Imran’s own argument. He says that terrorism in Pakistan due to US invasion. But in reality it became worse only because Pakistan stopped supporting them and started going after them.

Peace khoji

Well yes … you can convince a people to give up their weapons if you show them that you are not a threat to them and if you are yourself de-weaponising.
