Pakistan has been facing terrorism related issues for long and when the attack on army public school happened National Action Plan came into being; for we as a nation had reached our limits of tolerance and endurance. It is to the credit of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and his government that they are following up on the implementation of NAP with due diligence.
Recently a crackdown has begun against vehicles with fake number plates for it is these vehicles that are used in nefarious crimes and acts of terrorism. The government is rightly targeting these vehicles as usually these are stolen vehicles and are stolen for the purpose of committing crimes. It is imperative that we match number plates with the database of registered vehicles available and any and all such entries that are proven to be fake should be reported to police authorities immediately. Only when police take sustained action and not just some intermittent checking will this crackdown be effective.
The menace of terrorism needs our all out efforts to be eradicated. Not just the big decisions but also the little decisions matter if only they are implemented effectively and with true spirit.
