Nawaz Sharif

Why Pakistan’s Nawaz and Raheel Sharif Counter Terrorism Strategy would Fail? Pakistani American analyst Ahmad Faruqui in an e mail hopes that the Peshawar massacre will represent a turning point in how the state of Pakistan handles the jihadis, which are by and large its own creation. It has to recognize that there are no good jihadis. Thus, the strategy of using the good jihadis as agents in a proxy war against India is delusional. A new strategy has to be developed that focuses on the more immediate problems of disease, illiteracy, lawlessness, and chronic load shedding. It is a vain hope Mr Faruqui ! Because there are basic inner contradictions in Pakistani states claims and its actions since 1978! This comical situation started from a terrorist attack on a Peshawar school on 16 December 2014! Fairy Tale Narrative being presented by Pakistani Military and Politicians - That general Raheel Sharif is that knight in shinning armour who will kill the demon called Islamic extremism threatening, Pakistan that lovely sleeping beauty, conspired and trapped into a magical spell by a combined Indian RAW, Zionist and Christian conspiracy ! - All Pakistan’s troubles are in Waziristan and Afghanistan and. By launching an impregnable operation known as Zarb I Azzab, Pakistan’s knit in shining armour, Islam’s unbeatable soldier, younger brother of Major Shabbir Sharif, Nisan I haidar . - Nawaz Sharif and corrupt politicians immensely happy that a grand diversion created from real issues that confront Pakistan and politicians can carry on with corruption. Why the issue is more complicated - Islamic proxies were created by choice by Pakistan’s bastard child military regime in 1977-88 as it was isolated internally as well as internationally. - Between 1978 and 1989 Proxy war employing Islamists became so internally embedded and instilled in Pakistan’s body fabric and major institutions tat no Pakistani political leader or military leader touched it. - Pakistani military to date actively supports some 90 % of all ISLAMIC INSURGENTS in AF Pak.
