I hope Ik will be a member of next collation cabinet
Re: Imran Khan’s stance on TuQ, Long Jump and the upcoming Elections
Good to see a refreshing change in IK’s stance over terrorism in Pakistan. He probably has realized that these senseless shia killing have nothing to do with drones. He finally declared that these terrorist should be dealt with guns with no use of talking or negotiating with them.. I hope he stays on this declared position because really we need a consensus of all political leadership to fight this animal mentality and criminality..
Quetta carnage: Terrorism can be wiped out in 90 days, says Imran Khan – The Express Tribune
QUETTA: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan — who arrived in Quetta on Sunday to join the protesting families of those who died in Thursday’s attack – said that terrorism “can be wiped out in 90 days.”
This is not the first time Khan has made a 90-day claim. He has previously said that the PTI can eradicate corruption in three months if voted into power.
Khan said that PTI was very clear on the matter of terrorism:
“Some terrorists can be brought to the negotiation table, while others will have to be dealt with guns.”
Khan arrived in the provincial capital to express solidarity with the protesting families, who have been staging a sit-in at Alamdar Road, where hundreds of protesters have gathered since Friday near the snooker hall that was the scene of Thursday’s twin suicide attacks, alongside 86 coffins carrying the victims’ shrouded bodies.
Khan said the incumbent government did not care about anyone, except for itself.
“There is absolutely no future of Pakistan under this government. People are fleeing Balochistan, given the current situation of security,” he said.
Khan added that the government was not doing anything, but “minting money” for financing their elections campaigns.
The PTI chief said that governor rule should be imposed in Balochistan and that, if the governor agrees, the army should be called in to control the situation.
Consoling the relatives, Khan said that the whole country was with them in this moment of grief. He said that the government of Balochistan should immediately step down.
“The ones who oppress you, inflict violence upon you are not Muslims, nor humans,” said PTI chief.
Quetta protests continue
Even 36 hours after the deaths of their loved ones, the families say they will not bury their dead unless the army takes control of the provincial capital and protects members of their sect from vigilante-style wings of extremist groups.
Banned militant group Lashkar-e-Jhangvi claimed responsibility for the bombings, which took place in an area dominated by the Hazara community and killed 102 people, with over 200 wounded.
Demonstrations are expected to pour in key cities, including Karachi, Islamabad, Lahore and Peshawar.

That's what it sounds for the time being. Anyway let's appreciate the start of some partial sanity coming finally to our youth role model after such a long time..
For the first time I saw him visibly-genuinely disturbed on some killings apart from drone killings by the Americans..
P.S. I still have some hope from IK.. despite his deficient intelligence in this matter, sooner or later he will realize his wrong stance as far as justification for violence is concerned. The guy is at least sincere and credible.. a quality which is non-existent in other political leaders who are merely opportunist as far as their personal political gains are concerned..

People can agree with his politics or whatever but there is only one politician in Pakistan who is ACTUALLY acting like a leader right now and seems to care about the plight of a common man.
Re: Imran Khan's stance on TuQ, Long Jump and the upcoming Elections

Even with Talibans, he has said that some can be brought to negotiation table and some with action. Some may or may not agree but i think he is also right that you can't blindly just attack everyone who is fighting alongwith talibans as they all have different motives and we need to isolate hardcore criminals to make it easy to fight them.
My opinion is that an honest and sincere person like Imran (or any other leader for that matter) would NOT let anyone kill his citizens let it be Talibans, America or anyonelse.
Re: Imran Khan's stance on TuQ, Long Jump and the upcoming Elections
I am glad now that Imran Khan didn't join it. Imran Khan is the leader that Pakistan desrves.
Re: Imran Khan's stance on TuQ, Long Jump and the upcoming Elections
“Some terrorists can be brought to the negotiation table, while others will have to be dealt with guns.”
I think he has been saying this all the time — carrot and stick.

For the first time I saw him visiting the victims of terrorist attacks and showing solidarity with them.. He did feel sympathy for Malala but refused to condemn taliban fearing a backlash for his supporters. I remember sitting in Hamid Mir show he said he would himself become suicide bomber if his family was killed in drone attacks.
I hope he realises now that suicide bombers who killed Hazaras in Quetta and many others all over Pakistan have nothing to do with drones. They are killing innocent unrelated people.. And their objective is to impose their religious agendas.. These animals will not stop by just sweet talking to them..!!!
Re: Imran Khan’s stance on TuQ, Long Jump and the upcoming Elections
you really think that?
Re: Imran Khan’s stance on TuQ, Long Jump and the upcoming Elections
I think only Taliban apologist from parties like PTI don’t believe this.. These terrorist themselves openly claim about implementation of their religious objectives. Do you think LEJ is killing shias to avenge drone attacks done by American?
Re: Imran Khan's stance on TuQ, Long Jump and the upcoming Elections
The stated goal of LEJ is to create a hardcore Sunni State in Pakistan (Khilafat e Rashida model) and for that they are carrying out this genocide of Shias.

No, TTP is a mafia just like MQM... MQM uses ethnic card, TTP is using religion card and scare tactics and who'd best candidate for partnership then extremists like LeJ, LeT type organizations have nothing to do with drones.
Re: Imran Khan's stance on TuQ, Long Jump and the upcoming Elections
^ cspt. And PTI ready for talk with TTP but don't like to make more good terms with MQM. Pathetic. I again repeat I prefer MQM on Those who are killing here and there using name of Islam. IK basically a good person a honest person who really care about Pakistan but the way he chose to keeping religious rightest around him keeping himself in a limited circle. There is not any negotiation with terrorists until they throw their weapons. Ah again I forget that there is no any TTP no Ehsanullah it's all doing by foreign agencies. PMLN and PTI need to be cut off there relations and morally support with exterem rightest groups.

interesting, are you saying both TTP = MQM, okay, I agree with that. As for PTI ready for talk with TTP, you should know IK also gave a statement saying that what MQM wants to achieve PTI believes in that too, indicating that if MQM gave up its murderous, thuggery, loot-mar then PTI may support MQM for the cause.
Re: Imran Khan's stance on TuQ, Long Jump and the upcoming Elections
Nice try to twisting my words thanks (^_^) we have thousands posts about Karachi situation MQM don't need PTI < need it if it's really need a change in system. Whatever our casts sects we all need a change but unfortunately as like before we are famous for build our own mosque the exampe right now Qadri sahib we are not unite and never in near future. IK never be a revultoner leader till he got a masive support from all casts and sects.

The difference between MQM and TTP is that you can negotiate with MQM. As far as I know they have denounced the violence aspect to a large extent and moving in the right direction. Not that they have become angels.. they have to go a long way to become completely non-violent... but there is a hope. Already a lot of my Karachi friends testify that MQM is not the major bhatta collector now in Karachi. MQM have made some attempt to isolate violent chapters from their organization..
With religious extremist you can not negotiate. The extreme hardcore fundamentalist believe people who go mazars are committing shirk.. either their musluk should be forced changed or they must be killed. For a large number of mazar going Pakistanis.. it's a part of their religious rituals. How do you negotiate with the killers of mazar goers.. you can only reduce the capability of these religious extremist to carry out these violent attacks by dismantling their organizations by prosecuting their top leadership and dismantling their madrassas where they preach such mentality.

Partially correct, MQM is not the only bhatta-khor in Karachi true, but is it because they have stopped collecting bhatta: NO, its because other players have jumped in and started collecting bhatta.

There are different players in the field, there are likes of LeJ, LeT who can not be negotiated, there are some goons who can be negotiated with.
