Re: Imran’s engagement with the terrorists
Add to that participating in rallies against ahmedies and PTI affiliated lawyers arguing for boycott of ahmadi products, and saying Taliban ideology is not something Pakistan should be concerned with and saying Pakistani Taliban are just fighting an invader (i.e. Pakistani people, civilians, minorities, state). See my previous reply to Amal if you wish for more debunking of the ridiculous notion that this is some sort of strategy that Imran is trying to stop the terorrists. He isnt trying to stop the terrorists, hes aligned with them.
Oh and once again, I hate the appearance of ‘logic’ behind the idea that oh since fighting them isnt working we shouldnt think of them as worth fighting or we should join them. This is the same logic that would have all welfare programs ended because theres still poverty, would have all government hospitals closed because the quality of service isnt good.
Most of all you lot have this notion that a prerequisite to ‘talking’ to Taliban is that we have to talk like them. We have to defend their ideology and we have to make excuses for the tens of thousands of murders they have committed. It is common knowledge that the state already HAS got its pet taliban that dont fight it and do their activities elsewhere. What concessions do you think werent offered to these terrorists that were granted to the ‘good’ Haqqani et al? As abhorrent as that strategy is for me, it atleast doesnt involve the Pakistani state justifying and defending the crimes of these terrorists. Take it from one of the targeted groups, even that figleaf is palatable compared to Imran’s hardon for the heroic holy murderers.
