Extremism: a plague

It is unfortunate that due to the wrong policies, the menace of extremism and terrorism is melting Pakistan. The traces of terrorists training, funding and even hiding normally lead to Pakistan. The latest blow is the attack in Xinjiang province of China.

The motive is very clear; these foreign funded terrorists are actually working on the agenda of our enemies. They have nothing to do with religion but are using it to recruit and mislead the innocent people with the sole objective of isolating and destroying Pakistan.

As per NBC News, Pentagon has presented a report to Congress stating the circumstances to take over the nukes in case there is a danger of falling these into the hands of extremists. The Xinjiang killing seems to be an effort to sever Pak–China relations so that Pakistan is deprived of from the support of its time tested friend.

The campaign against army also seems to be part of this agenda. All political parties must join hands together to carve out a strategy to root out this menace before it is too late.
