Dealing with the Taliban.
(Syed Hussain Mosavi, karachi)
I do not agree with the opinion
that by electing good leaders, we can drive out the few thousand terrorists who
have held the country hostage for last four decades. The real question is
whether we are united on a common resolve against terrorism. When it comes to
religion, we are a confused nation. Anyone can fool us in the name of religion.
Most of the religious-political parties are ideologically aligned with the
Taliban, which is why military is unable to carry out any decisive action
against them. The issue is no longer confined to the tribal areas and KPK. The
country’s commercial capital, Karachi, is now under siege by Taliban. Pakistan
can never win the war on terror until we are united against the enemy. Decisive
action against extremists is essential.
