Any good that could have come out of the PTI peace march has been thwarted by the attack on Malala Yousafzai. I suppose since the “X” could not make a show by attacking the peace convoy therefore they had acted quickly and ruthlessly to diffuse any goodwill generated by the peace march.
However, it also provides a trail to X.
X is someone who does not want peace; X wants to discredit Imran Khan; X is ruthless; X cannot reveal its true identity and thus uses Taliban’s franchise; X has links with Media. Some Media did not do a show on peace march but were excited and mouth watered doing a show on Malala Yousafzai and made a point of saying that are the forces that attacked Malala are worth talking to? X has assets in Swat and not in Waziristan; X was frustrated when IK did not proceed to Kotkai; X was fast enough to fall back on plan B; X is not religious; X has huge stakes in violence for now; X wanted to justify the drone attacks and military means; X does not want investment on real projects by keeping a question mark on the law and order in Pakistan; X is instigating flight of capital and brains from Pakistan; X is moving savings to banks and stocks and away from the real sector; X wants to keep the US govt engaged in the War on Terror; So who or what is X?
