This happened many a times. But IK haters ignore this with convenience.
We as a nation must realize that we are at the receiving end AND on the backfoot. And there is dialogue in EVERY war. So if we are on the backfoot, we must engage them in discussions and try to kill the root cause. For that we need to find it first. No political party has anything on this. Army is hapless. And they must realize that a strategy is needed which will have military option but with some dialogue and engagement. Otherwise there is no end to it.
Was there any TTP when this war started? NO! there were no talibans in pakistan. Yes there were supporters in the army and likes but this has been our case sadly.
terrorism policy is required. A framework, a policy statement. Nothing. This is a directionless war we are fighting. It is our war but we must change our strategy now otherwise we will see worse situations than this God Forbid!
