Being a resident Of KP and working in FATA I daily seen the Army involvement in terrorist activities. I don’t know this is the strategy of Pak Army or its local officer take the Advantage of the terrible situation. They are not only Involved in terrorist activities but also supporting those people who are terrorizing the people of KP and FATA. And essentially in FATA the considers the tribal people are their Enemy’s. These officers are also involved in corruption specially in smuggling from Pakistan to Afghanistan and from Afghanistan to Pakistan. The tribals are make themselves salient knows Every thing but saying nothing. As journalist I feel they waiting for suitable time. Many powerful maliks Either shifted to Kabul or islamabad. If it is Army strategy than don’t expect from tribal that they will be Pakistani in future or it is individual acts of Army officers stationed in FATA , they are distorting the image of Pak Army among tribals
Mr Abdullah I don't know what you are talking about. I was involved with the IDP relief operations in Swat and South Waziristan Agency. These were exemplary relief operations which were made possible by the sacrifice and hard work of Pakistan Army. The reconstruction activities happening in FATA and Swat would not have been possible without Pakistan Army. The only organization which values tribals and has a number of officers from tribal areas is Pakistan Army. I wonder whose agenda you are pushing by painting this negative narrative.
Mr Abdullah, i just read your comments, i found you totally confused unable to express yourself, denying your own words at the end. Moreover your talk has no relevance with the news at the top. Mr Haider has rightly answered back your confusion. regareds
God save us from this head on.Terrorists are still here mocking on us "catch me if you can" and we still need more 12 years to counter it as head on.
