Re: Imran Khan’s toxic narrative on terrorism … needs to stop … and stop right no
There are some differences in Pakistani situation and Srilanka though.
-
Pakistan is not an island like Srilanka. We have got long porous border with Afghanistan (eastern Afghanistan is virtually in control of taleban)
-
The support for taleban is far more and spread out throughout the country. In Srilanka the problem was confined to one ethnicity and that too in the North of the country.
-
The state itself is confused (and then it blames the people of being confused). When the army and government itself differentiates between Good taleban (LEJ, JEM, LET, HUM, Jundullah, TTP-Molvi Nazeer & TTP Hafiz Gul Bahadur) and bad taleban (TTP Hakeem ullah Mehsud & TTP Fazlullah) what does it expect the people to do?
-
These are some of the effects of continuous brainwashing that the state has conducted through text books and media during the past 35 years.
