Re: Punishing the terrorists?

Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii im new whats up guys?

Firstly yes they can. Or do you also believe the US army should not be restricted by laws when they fight in Afghanistan? State of war has rules defining it. If the Indian troops surrender they MUST be brought back to court alive and well. The Indians did that for 90,000 Pakistani troops in 1971. Or are you saying the Indians should have shot and killed all 90,000 of those Pakistani troops? Regardless of the actions of the TTP you can not do away with the rule of law or the constitution. That is what Musharraf did and look at the mess we are in now.

The military has used the same doctrine you are prescribing to attack the people of Balochistan. To them it makes no difference. One enemy is the same as the other. The rule of law protects innocent people and puts a check and balance on top of the military. You can not give them a clear path. That will just lead to abuse of power.

CM, I think you misunderstood me. I am not saying that army should kill all and take no prisoners. What I am saying is that, army should not be put under restraint of law when fighting ‘terrorists’ and should not be put under pressure of laws when dealing with terrorist prisoners, as terrorists should be treated just like invading army trying to occupy Pakistan with force. Actually, terrorists are worse than invading army, as they do not want to occupy and rule Pakistan but occupy, rule and enforce their devilish beliefs on Pakistan too.

Let see what you yourself wrote. 90000 Pakistanis surrendered to Indian army (they were not all troops, but almost half of them were civilians). Did India take them to court? No. India did not. India put them in prison without trial and even started brainwashing them. They were released to Pakistan after negotiation in Shimla. Since ‘terrorists’ fighting Pakistan have no country, they have to get released in Pakistan. Anyhow, once arrested, Pakistan army should be allowed to keep them arrested without trial and keep brain-washing them (not torturing them but brain-washing them) as long as army considers it right (until time army thinks that they changed from devil to human).

Let come to USA in Afghanistan: Here USA is aggressor and fighting a war outside USA … contrary to Pakistan that is fighting war ‘within’ Pakistan against aggressors who are already in Pakistan. So, situation of war Pakistan and USA fighting is incomparable. Regardless, American armed forces in Afghanistan are not restricted by any laws other than their own self-imposed laws. `

As for Baluchistan, I do not think Musharraf did anything what you are trying to claim. What I know (not just from news but also from people on ground), Baluchistan has seen more development work during Musharraf period than anytime before, with more infrastructure, roads, jobs, law and order, dams, schools, water and power facilities, etc. It was first time during Musharraf period Pakistan had Baloch Prime Minister and many federal ministers. Result was that, even though PMLQ lost election 2008 in all provinces, PMLQ came out as largest party in Baluchistan 2008 election. PMLQ secured 19 out of 65 PA seats. Next were independents many of whom joined PPP after election increasing PPP seats to 14 in PA. So, please leave propaganda and come to reality.
