Are We Heading Towards Victory Against Taliban ?
By Mohsin Sehgal • Jul 2nd, 2009 • Category: Politics, Worth A Second Look • 12 CommentsFear, disappointment, confusion, irresolution, and apathy is which mark our struggle agaisnt the terrorism crisis. Has it ended now? I fear not. Though our military establishment has certainly ceased to wallow in the indecision and they are after the terrorists with full might, rest of the factions are either acting like a sheep or they are playing for the gallery.
From the press releases of the ISPR and from the claims made by the various ministers and advisors, it seems that we are very near to the total victory and its just matter of couple of weeks that we get a clean sweep in the Swat. But when we see that IDPs are still in the camps and in the homes of people in other cities, we find it hard to digest that everything is gonna be fine in some days.
It’s highly imperative that our military plans out the operation very meticulously while our political leadership must find a way to engage with the people at grass root level. If that is not done on the war footings, then we should brace ourselves for long-drawn guerrilla warfare that could tie the Army down while eating away the upper edge and people support and material resources of the country.
Pakistan is at war and we must win it for our future generations to enable them to live a life of their choice. In the war torn areas and in the potential war zones, the key to turning back the tide of terrorism and ensuring it does not in the future return to flood our society is to render peace, jobs, modernity and health and fun to the people.
The elements of banned organizations, lashkar-e-Jhangvi, Sipah-e-Sahaba, Jaish and others have joined hands with the Tehrik-e-Taliban loosly. First government needs to dismantle this loose union. The release of the Hafiz Saeed might be a right step in that direction as he could ensure that nothing gory happens from these banned outfits through his links and clout. Baitullah Mehsud and his 10000 plus fighters are the key to this whole battle and until they are defeated in South Waziristan, this battle is far from over.

very rightly said….this battle is far from over !!!
Hi Mohsin,
1.Army has acknolwdged this by telling that it will not move into North wazirstan.
2.The ordinary pashthun views this battle as one by pakistani army working for infidel USA
3.The pashthun wants to keep his guests the Arabs,uzbeks etc who have married and settled in wazirstan.
4.Now the “terorrorists” are being called “Miscreants” by the Pakistan government.
I also expect a barrage of anti/Indian media barrage soon to divert attention for the failure of Pakistani army to control the Terrorists.The army desperately wants to divert attention of Jihadies from American occupation of Afghanistan to Kashmir.
The war being fought against Taliban is not against our enemies from out side. It is against who are sitting among us. They are evil, our internal enemies our own kith and kin —-found working against the interest of this land.
We see all sort of investigative reporting in the media but there is yet any report ever coming to light which reveals that what is the real source of funding of these evil groups. How they are sustaining themselves. When will some courageous reporters and the public start ‘naming and shaming’ the culprits?
Is this nation, a nation of hypocrites, abetters and traitors that people love to work against the interests of their nation and join hands with our enemies in conspiracies?
Hypocrite and traitors and people who are disloyal to our home land; there is a dire need these traitors are exposed.
Dear Johann,
Don’t you worry about Pakistan?
The entire word is conspiring against us but Pakistan is weathering all this very successfully.
Any how—- will you ever come out with news that how bad India is behaving in all this with the aim to see Pakistan to go down.

Please read; ‘entire world’ and not entire word.
Many thanks
The failed states index is calculated on following basis.One can easily judge where we stand after analyzing its factors.
It is a sobering time for the world’s most fragile countries—virulent economic crisis, countless natural and man made disasters, and government collapse. This year, we delve deeper than ever into just what went wrong—and who is to blame.
Traitors are known an their criminal records are piling up in this daily war games but all are having government protocol and security arrangements because they are actually afraid of real people of Pakistan.
Johann jee:
worry 4 yr hindustan which soon will b divided in 15 to 20 new independent countries. Khalistan will be biggest part of hindustan to become a nation state. we have suffered too much in hindu subjugation.Republic of Khalistan is a beautiful vision which soon will be reality.
Yes johan don’t take tension about us. us Pakistanis know how to deal our problems.
to Sikh brother who write comment 7:
brother v respect ur dream of free Sikh country and v will always support u to be new nation on map of earth.keep carry on ur good movement and v will have a friendly neghbor on our east border in form of country Khalistan. this will bring peace to south asia. u r brave sikh ppl who have fight for long time for ur dream. v salute ur great struggle against cruelty of india.
In short, NO.
Till government not gives equal rights and justice to the people of Pakistan…. Taliban kind of mentality will keep growing and disturbing moderate Pakistanis.
Right now the dreams seems far away from reality… Military or Militancy, both are harming Pakistan badly.
Comment 7 and 8 is the reason behind comment 10 and 11.
Bharat day kar dayo tukray tukray tay azad banaoo aapna Khalistan.
India a fake state.India is going to be separated into several states, we will help all indians who wants separate state
Sikh Brothers don’t worry, we will provide you all help and assistance for your new state. We will provide you access to our sea-ports. We will open the Wagah border for your new country of Khalistan and start free trade with you. Just get rid of Hindus who destroyed your holiest Golden Temple in 1984, killed thousands of Khalsas.
PAKISTAN ZINDABAD
KHALISTAN ZINDABAD !!!
