The other prong of this strategy, given Fazlullah’s links with Afghan intelligence, is to signal to the Afghan Taliban the nature of the threat to Pakistan and who is mounting it. Pakistan should use its leverage, both in terms of carrots and sticks, to put the heat on Fazlullah. This won’t be easy given the Pakistani Taliban’s likely retaliation, but could be made to work if Islamabad can utilize the fissures within the franchise. Finally, it is crucial for the government to place the evidence of Fazlullah’s anti-state activities and his sources of funding before the public. There is no point in sitting over that information without making use of it. This war is not just about fire-fighting. It is also a conflict between competing narratives.

The best option for Pakistan army and Pakistan itself is to dissociate from these ‘maut ke saudgar’. A strong border control should be implemented. All refugees and illegal Afghanis should go back to their country. For God sake leave Karachi alone. Let India be the one who should fill in the blank after Pak army completely severe their ties with these ‘maut ke saudagar’.

I talked to one female 12 the grade Afghani student, from where she belonged? Her answer was “Kandahar”. I asked her if her relatives still live in the city of Mullah Umar, her response was they now live in Karachi. Why these pushtoon get all the benefits from Pakistan, they hate Pakistan and proud to be called as Afghans? Pakistan ki particularly Karachi ki badqismati hay.
