The brutal massacre of army school children by Taliban militants in Peshawar in the last month, made Pakistan to determine to eliminate terrorists from its soil. Pakistan government has hanged around 70 terrorists during these two months period. Pakistan security forces have conducted a massive combing operation recently and nabbed 9,000 terrorists including 3000 are religious leaders and 3, 650 Afghanistan migrants also.
This is first time that Pakistan government allowing such a massive combing operation for terrorists. Knowing that arresting religious leaders in a country like Pakistan is very risky, Pakistan government arrests them on charges of having links with terrorists. Indeed, it is a very bold decision taken by Pakistan government. Hence, it deserve appreciation. But, it should realize that it can’t differentiate the terrorists as good and bad terrorists. If it goes soft with those terrorists, who are conspiring against India, one day or the other day they will prove fatal for it also. So, it should treat all terrorists with firm hand.
