The Battle for Swat

As Foreign media may put it’s battle of survival’ .where in reality it is a much more complex scenario. Pakistan Army is on the offensive and Taliban are on the defensive. Those who support Sufi Muhammad were put in to question with the news coming out from the area that Moulvi Kifayat Ullah [son of Sufi Muhammad ] was killed when army responded after an attack on them ,this indeed sheds a good light on the situation , TSNM may now have completely surrendered to the authority dictated by Fazullah’s men and is therefore more irrelevant now.

In times when Pakistan army needs support more than ever and fortunately public support is with them earnestly . The actions that were taken in the President’s disgraceful trip to US must make every Pakistani regret of their choices in the face of these politicians . However more interestingly, those who were very much taking charge of this visit are all those who had nothing to do with the people of Pakistan and were instead installed by their bosses in UK and US. Rehman Malik, Hussain Haqqani , Zardari and now Bilawal Zardari comes in the picture. sounds more like a monarchy.

Sadly as things unfold the nation will be made to suffer more , as news coming from the trip are not so rosy, After the shameful Press conference appearance of our President where he and his BROTHER Karzai were dealt in a manner must like school boys sitting with their counselor ; Hillary Clinton , all Mr.Zardari had on his paper [ handed to him by none other than “Washington’s Ambassador to Pakistan”, Mr. Hussain Haqqani] was about DEMOCRACY, and his much cherished FRIENDS IN US. There was no word on drones, civilian lives lost or US’s support to india. It seems trade is more important in these times and that too not for us but for INDIANS .so that Pakistan suffers and Zardari prospers.

Also when foreign and LOCAL media who has this strange JUDGEMENT issue in their scrutiny , criticize the Pak Army when they oblige due to Nizam E Adal Regulation in place for having secret ties with Taliban , is now again on the offensive blaming them of not taking care of civilian lives and the displaced people.

It is however a serious situation that is emerging and the corrupt and slave govt of ours is not at all ready and concerned about those who are continuously fleeing the area in the wake of operation. It is not the job of Pakistan Army but the job of Federal Govt to provide them with food, and shelter. No tangible work has been done so far. Fortunately and unfortunately [coz it makes the elite more complacent] Pakistan happens to be a nation that comes in top 5 list of Generous Nations , it’s the charities and welfare trusts that are helping these people who never before had to sleep in the open.

Finally for those who criticize Pakistan Army, here is a documentary made by Raageh Omaar of Aljazeera [ and is not a Army funded film in anyway] so that we get a flavor of what our soldiers do to protect us .Its easier said than done.










Note: this documentary was Filmed in Dec ..thats when Loee Sam was not captured and Bajaur was the most active zone of the Tehreek E Taliban Paksitan. As of today..Bajaur is in COMPLETE control of Pakistan Army ..and Mohamand and Orakzai are the trouble zones.
