Let’s say Imran comes to power and is not perceived as “American agent”, do you really think Imran can then disarm militants from Pakistan?
Do you think they will be willing to give up their arms?
I don’t think this is possible. He is making empty promises to win liberal votes from naive Pakistanis.
What Imran fails to say is that a more practical way to stop militancy is to STOP THE FLOW OF MONEY TO THEM from Middle Eastern countries like Saudis.
Imran also says that a “credible government” would be able to reform madressahs. Another wishful thinking. Does he really think that just because he is currently perceived as pro-Taliban, therefore madressah owners will allow him to change their hate-filled literature?
As soon as he moves to reform madressahs and ask them to remove hate and militancy from their curriculum, they will go against him right away. He will lose his pro-Taliban status in their eyes.
The very reason many of these madressahs exist is to spread hatred and intolerance against anyone who disagrees with them. Anyone stopping them from this “sacred” mission will be their enemy.
