@Captain1

But LeT/LJ were not involved in ‘anti-state’ activities earlier, were they?

Point being? Pakistan tolerated them till we had to stop overtly tolerating them and so they trained their guns on us. Do you think thats a good thing? Do you think we should have continued to allow LeT/LJ to kill whoever they wanted?

I think the TTP person wants to kill ANYONE, irrespective of sect, they are infact ‘anti-state’ and not just a particular sect even if they say they want to kill ‘sects’ only as we have already seen attacks on army posts, police posts and other buildings.

Why just ANYONE? They have specifically targetted specific sects, and shias and ahmedies have been targeted at a disproportionately higher rate than the general populace. They attack army posts, police posts, hospitals, schools, sure, and for each they present a specific rationale. However it is disingenuous to pretend that the sectarian angle does not exist.
