Precarious Pakistan

Though I wasn’t around in the world when the East Pakistan became Bangladesh in 1971, I even then feel pangs of pain. After reading through the accounts of that era, and then extrapolating it with the current happenings in Pakistan, the situation looks more grimmer and more bleak and the foreseeable future is very alarming.

Well we have the nuclear bomb enough to save us from any external aggression, but then if you ponder realistically, this isn’t the era of tanks, armored cars and armies marching into the borders will all the bells and whistles.  No country even could take the risk of missiling the other nation as the retaliation would be swift and equally destructive.

The modern warfare is all about attacking the country from within. Internal strife, political uncertainty, law and order situation, insurgencies, terrorism and the media hopelessness are the tools in vogue for the modern combat. Just termite the enemy from within, and you are done. It’s the war of secret agencies going on in different garbs on different fronts simultaneously.

How can that attack be countered? Unity among the populace and very strong coordination between the government and the public could defeat such black hat enemy.  And We can do it.

  1. Though I knew, you had a natural tendency to attract, mold, console, please and to create obsession and desire to own and snatch as a piece of souvenir so to make and place as a master piece of gender in a display case, but after articulating your unique conclusive strategical evaluation in terms of assessment and warfare opinion, I have an additional perceptive view, to perceive you in more perspective and prospective way.

    @Ghazala “The modern warfare is all about attacking the country from within.

  2. @ Ghazala “And We can do it.”

    Yes, we can do it and on individual level, I and many of my friends are doing it. But we seriously need help from whole society and government. It is the time to think seriously about our next generation, otherwise it will be too late to combat against these forces.

    “Controlling” the problem is an old/obsolete concept… “Assurance” is required to handle this wave of terrorism in Pakistan. For assurance, we have to address our society from start. We have to provide basic necessitiy of life to each and every individual of Pakiastn, we have to ensure that every child of Pakistan is getting admission in School instead of Madrissah, we have to ensure that No wrong activity is carrying out in our neighbours, home owners have to ensure that they will rent out homes to those, who will have CNIC and filling all documents and many more.

    Ms. Ghazala: Hunger, Poverty, Injustice are the main evils of this society. If government and society will take care of poor people around us then we won’t find such issues ever. Control is not a solution of this problem. It is like a Cancer, the more you will try to do surgery to get rid of it, the more it will spread rapidly. But unfortunately, the concept of ASSURANCE is still not adopted by corporate sector, how we can expect that our society and government will adopt it so early. We are trained to cut only buds… not roots of the problem.
