Pak Army "Racked Over The Coal " Over Charsadda Attack By Paki Daily !
Charsadda attack: It is time to ask Pakistan Army some hard questions
Echoing what many in this forum, have been saying for long !
Charsadda attack: It is time to ask Pakistan Army some hard questions
Whatever the military demanded, civilian government gave – from military courts to foreign policy, everything has been under control of Army. But what are the results beyond photo-ops and extensive PR gains?
A month after Pakistan observed the first anniversary of the deadly APS Peshawar attack, Islamist terrorists belonging to the banned TTP have struck again – this time at Bacha Khan University in Charsadda.
According to the latest updates, 21 people have been killed in the attacks with over 60 injured. Law enforcement agencies have cleared the premises, killing 4 terrorists.
This attack on another educational institution holds a lot of symbolic value. This is the third major attack in KPK in a month – all after Army’s continuous propagation of ‘phenomenal success’ and ‘broken backbones of terrorists’ in Zarb-e-Azb.
Echoing what many in this forum, have been saying for long !
(probably, more glorification of "Raheel" and more intense air attacks !)20th January is the death anniversary of Bacha Khan, a true humanist and preacher of non-violence. ( and who was jailed by the Paki authorities many times for his philosophy of reconcilation !)The attack took place when students had gathered to commemorate his death anniversary.
The attack on university, followed by quick condemnations, calls for swift investigations and ISPR blowing the trumpet of Army’s operation. Chief of Army Staff has arrived to the university, PM Nawaz Sharif and CM KPK, Pervez Khattak are on their way.
The question: What happens next?
Readers should note that this paper is one of the most strident anti-India daily and is "forever" trumpeting the so-called "Ideology of Pakistan"An APC will be called, joint committee will be formed, followed by announcement of culprits to be brought to justice. End.
I am 400% sure that this Anal-ist will see a visit to his house/office by the reps of the Deep StateBanned organizations are still operating freely. The government bans an organization, it emerges with a new name, contests elections and even wins seats. LeT, banned in 2002, changed its name to JuD and still working freely under the guise of a welfare trust – often along with Pakistan Army in cases of emergency.
Lal Masjid is located at three minutes’ drive from the HQ of country’s premiere spy agency, where Mullah Abdul Aziz, a known terrorist and law-offender, unleashes threats against the state, refuses to bow down to the Constitution but still remains at large. To make it worse, country’s Interior Minister lies on the floor of the National Assembly, saying there has been no case registered against Mullah Aziz.
So, RAA has not been excluded; that would only mean that the "Pakis are still playing the same broken record"!After the Pathankot attacks, Pakistan has announced action against banned JeM, closing down its offices and taking its leadership into ‘protective custody’. Banned since 2002, the government must answer the simple question: why did it wait for 14 years to take action?
The average response after this attack is exactly the same as any other in the past. ‘They are not Muslims’, ‘terrorism has no religion’, ‘it is a conspiracy of RAW’ and so on. Such oversimplified, sweeping statements have become a part of national discourse in Pakistan.
Not an hour into the attack and many in the media, responsible for narrative building, started pointing their fingers towards India.
The most ridiculous of all has been the response of Ansar Abbasi, who blamed the Indian intelligence, RAW for backing TTP terrorists. This is the same man who has, for years, defended the ideology of TTP and advocated dialogue with them.
The same TTP was considering Orya Maqbool Jan and Ansar Abbasi as their negotiators.
Now, the question is, if TTP is being backed by Indian RAW, has Mr. Abbasi been supporting enemies of Pakistan for years?
Giving sweeping statements like ‘terrorists are not Muslims’ is not going to take us anywhere. It is about time we stop being in denial and realize that they are Muslims and they do follow an interpretation of Islam.
Until Paki civil society wakes up ( and this will require a life time of "no propaganda/ no brainwashing education" ) and says enough is enough, and curbs military domination of society, nothing will be done ! Too many vested interests at stake !Whatever the military demanded, civilian government gave – from military courts to foreign policy, everything has been under control of Army. But what are the results beyond photo-ops and extensive PR gains?
Lastly, stop using adjectives such as 'resilient', 'brave', 'heroes', 'courageous' – please stop glorifying the dead children. Please. They were not resilient. Or brave. They were students. They never saw this coming – were murdered in cold blood by the hands of Islamist terrorists. There is no glory in it but sheer helplessness.
