  1. Hand over security to army now especially tribal areas security where terrorists have heavens.Army should also given free hand to handle situations.Also rallies in tribal areas should be banned especially in sensitive areas because of rallies citizens suffers most. Terrorists should crushed with full force and their hideouts should destroyed all over country.Afghan borders should be sealed from now also Afghan refuges should be restricted to their camp these refuges are sources of terrorists for anti Pakistan elements.Indian borders also need to sealed at least on polling day India send their spies their borders while sending terrorists through Afghan boders with other anti Pakistan elements.

  2. Yesterday's and today's bombing on JUI (F) procession by the Taliban has exposed Taliban that how low they can go, by attacking the very hand/hands which has so far fed them. There is also a lesson for PML(N) and PTI"Imran Khan", that supporting Taliban will give you temporary respite but they are not going to spare any political party. Taliban have made it very clear that they want "Shariat" not Democracy "JUMHORIAT."

  3. With my unreserved condemnation of attack on JUI-F rally, I do hope that they have now realised that how insensitive of them and other right wing parties was to attribute violence against secular parties on their five years poor performance. No matter whatever you try, unless people of Pakistan make sanctity of human life as their utmost priority, violence will never stop appear its ugly head. Peace, respect and tolerate.
