THIS refers to Peshawar tragedy. The Operation Zarb-i-Azb is not the only solution. The Taliban represent an ideology and there are people among us who provide logistic support to them.
This reflects upon the failure of security and intelligence. The national internal security policy was unveiled before parliament in February, but we did not see any progress on it.
The national counter-terrorism authority is still inef fective. Since 2001, we could not identify terrorists` source of weapons. We arrested militants but could not arrest the mastermind.
When the cleric of Lal Masjid issues an open invitation to the Islamic State, then how can only a military operation be effective? It shows we need to be pragmatic and proactive. Education, proper coordination and effective policy are required to fight terrorism.
