It was a sad day for me, like many of my country men. The mayhem has now become order of the day. Unfortunately, such incidents have become just another news item for many people. I am not blaming anyone, but down country, people have not realized the full gravity of the situation prevalent in here. The undercurrents of fear, tension, perplexity that have inflicted the general population over here can only be realized when one lives here. Many sane and educated people are presently more concerened with only one person, whereas, the fact of the matter is that, the situation will not change whether he is there or not. The situation has come to a point that it does not matter who is at the helm of affairs at Islamabad. The War has just begun!
There were two suicide attacks against Awami National Party (1 in charsadda and another in Miranshah). ANP is one of the most liberal, anti-army rule and anti-taliban party in Pakistan. It was specifically targeted after a series of statements by ANP leadership against Talibans. In such a scenario, which party will dare challenge Talibanization. I am afraid that next target of Talibans will be Punjab, which the Taliban see as the hegemon against Pushtoon rights.
Sorry for the lengthy gibberish, but forgive me for that. Anyhow, I hope you are doing good and have a good time.

The question is: What do taliban want? Nothing should be a given in these fraudulent times now. Who knows who or what is feeding the views one has in one's head. Another question might be, people who are standing at the opposite end of taliban, what do they want? What are the world views of the two sides? Another question is: Is one side a product or consequence or reaction of the other, or are the two mutually exclusive and of independent origin. If it's case 1, who is the creator of whom? Like George Galloway says: One man's freedom fighter is another man's terrorist.
ReplyDeleteAll these questions have to be resolved in one's mind before one can claim that Mush is not a problem and the war has just begun!!
