Q: Do you think that Mr Kayani was afraid of a personal attack against him?
A: I don’t think so, but certainly there was the vulnerability of towns and cities because there was weakness in our law enforcement, the civilian law-enforcement agencies. They were so much in disarray. So this was also the concern. But now, too, the vulnerability is the same; the retaliation may occur.

This probably was the reason Kayani didn’t want to launch the operation, unfortunately our politicians are still busy pulling each other’s pants down rather than fixing broken institutions, strengthening law enforcement, independence of judiciary etc.
