A big security lapse. I hope no prisoner escapes. Pti governments lack of courage being exposed yet again. No one can get enough courage to even name TTP let alone condemn them. This might bring about PTIs downfall. Despite its shortcoming people have already started remembering anp as their ministers used to reach the sites where attacks used to take place. Pti is absent as it has nothing to do with the province.
Re: DI Khan jail break
Security lapse yes. But is it only provincial or PTI's fault? Yes its ministers are clueless when it comes to aftermath of any attack but as an incident its a collective failure. DI khan is around 6 km away from South wazirisitan, right? Police is ill prepared to deal with such attacks and it has been that since last 5 years. Curbing terrorism is most important, not for this province but for whole pakistan but PMLN has no clue what to do and yes PTI does not either but PTI will depend on federal to some extent when it comes to policy making, intelligence sharing and planning.
Conflicting reports so far about numbers of escapees. One of the uncles who used to be in police said that this jail is one of the most secure ones in pakistan, let alone province. So an attack there is an indication that terrorists are getting braver and smarter.

^ after the 19th and 20th amendments the provinces have become quite autonomous. It's the provincial governments responsibility to maintain law and order in the province.
Remember we have been criticising PMLN in the past for not producing power when they were claiming that the federal government is not helping them. I agree that the previous government failed in law and order, but at least they had the guts to condemn terror and visit the victims affected. Some of their ministers like Bilour and iftikhar hussain paid the price. The way the present government is being run (in a gutless manner and like a headless chicken) it will only embolden the terrorists.
Re: DI Khan jail break
More than 300 prisoners escape, and mind you the prison authorities had warning of this attack. Doesn't matter Pakistani governments are incompetent at least the terrorists are good in their job.
taleban would proudly claim this attack, I'd like to see the statements of Imran khan, Pervez khattak and other kpk government officials.
Re: DI Khan jail break
I heard on news just now 500 prisoners escaped
Re: DI Khan jail break
TTP are courageous enough to own up their attacks, on the other hand we have cowards who can’t even name them.

Re: DI Khan jail break
Here is the thing no one cares that's why, these hrs long taliban attack keep happening, its extremely easy to stop (please ask me how)
Here is the other thing PTI cares, going forward they would stop/reduce, look more deeper into the issue.
We will know what we don't know yet about this issue.
Think about it, who is the one man you can trust when he gives you information ??
Taliban are tough but primitive, its extremely easy to engage them once the are out of their rat-holes.
But know one cares.
Re: DI Khan jail break
Why wont they stop attacking, they already told them they want peace talks!

The problem is PTI walas consider them their brothers, but the taleban dont. The conduct of the army is very suspicious as well.
Re: DI Khan jail break
I was waiting for the official response, taleban have claimed the attack and the chief minister is saying:

Re: DI Khan jail break
^ jail break isnt an issue, they have happened before. People are gauging the reaction of the government. No condemnation comes from any government official. The CM says foreign agencies have conducted the jail break (how can one beat that?). Were we housing foreigners in that jail? There was intelligence regarding this attack, what did the government do to foil it? Are they still willing to talk to those who time and again are depicting that they are not interested in negotiations.
Re: DI Khan jail break
I think the bigger issue is not of some statement of condemnation but how this can be prevented from happening again and again, its not like 1 or 2 criminals escaped which can happen from time to time.
CM is blaming foreign intel agencies or our own?
didnt they have intel already about this operation?

They had information but still couldnt prevent it.
The army claims that it has secured South Waziristan, all the area from SWA to DI Khan is dotted by check posts. Then how did the terrorists come, completed their operation and go away...mind boggling.

Till Drones are not stopped By Ganjas nothing will happen and KPK will suffer and then people will say PTI failed in KPK as usual

KP government is responsible for this lapse. Either KP government has full hands to release these 'maut ke saudagar' or incompetent.
Re: DI Khan jail break
This is a classic example of shifting the blame to one another.
Intelligence agencies say that the provincial government was informed of a threat of attack on DI Khan jail. And the CM is putting the blame on intelligence agencies.
End result is that no one is responsible, wait for the next one.

Yes provinces can make their own power. But federal and provincial agencies must share intelligence, resources on terrorism. So far KP govt is struggling ot get its rangers back from sindh, inherited a dysfunctional police force . However time is running out for them because people want visible results.
ANP was brave in personal capacity in heroes like Bilour & Iftikhar Hussain. but their performances speak for themselves. Present govt is struggling but its not even 50 days and comparing it with ANP govt is invalid IMO.
