This is a welcoming news. Mainstreaming of dissent is very important for democratic societies. Stay within the Constitution and fight for your rights.

Well, NS can only come back to power if those who sent him away choose to do so.

Musharraf was not a popular choice in the Army itself, and he was not a decorated soldier as you said. In fact, he was 4th in line for the Army Chief. The reason why he was easily deposed, even after having the constitutional power to dissolve the Parliament, is because he was extremely...

Any idea why they didn't fly straight to Qatar or Germany?

I wish this reasoning can be given to the orphan children of our martyred soldiers, and those who are waiting in their border posts to be martyred next.

If Taliban are okay with Americans striking targets in kabul, they should be okay with us striking our terrorists in Kunar and Nuristan. The only reason Pakistani leadership will not authorise such a strike, is cowardice.

This attack is from across the border, meaning the terrorist just fired from some mountain top on our border post.

Two soldiers of Pakistan Army embraced martyrdom on Sunday after terrorists from inside Afghanistan opened fire across the international border on a military post in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa's Bajaur district, Inter Services Public Relations (ISPR) said in a statement. The military's media wing said...

Taliban spokesman has denied that a commission was made to probe TTP. He however repeated his group's claim that Afghan territory wont be used against any other country. From 17:30 onwards, the urdu translation comes in a bit later. The same was also reported by Express Tribune:

Hey, Hope you're well. I have posted more than thrice in GHQ but didn't get a reply. Can't find the DM option, is it possible to write to you or the Staff in person to share my complaint? Regards

Thank you saying this, I said the exact same thing here and I was issued a "soft" warning by a Mod. https://defence.pk/pdf/threads/resurgent-taliban-kidnap-and-forcibly-marry-teenage-girls-as-fighters-recapture-huge-areas-of-afghanistan.719424/page-3#post-13265449 It's not about choosing the...

Because of geography (mountains and limited entry points) and its population's historic stand against the Taliban. It's predominantly Tajik and Ahmad Shah Masoud is still revered as a hero. They will fight till death but wont give in to the Taliban. Abdullah Abdullah right now represents most...

Umm, Abdullah Abdullah is technically the opposition. Taliban are not the opposition since they are fighting to overthrow the system, NOT THE GOVERNMENT. For me, any faction that stays under the constitution of Afghanistan and resist the government can be classified as opposition, Taliban are...

Actually, the airpower is to deny the Taliban any hold of the cities. Remember it was the US bombing which helped the Northern Alliance carve through the Taliban like a knife in 2001. Air power will decide who holds the cities and it will be a major difference.

The United States was sending B-52 bombers, AC-130 gunships and fighter jets into Afghanistan Saturday to turn back dramatic recent advances by the Taliban. The Boeing B-52 Stratofortress bombers, the mainstay of American strategic airpower since 1952, were flying into Afghanistan from al-Udeid...

Are you implying that local resistance is also not pedo? :) You'd be surprised how culturally ingrained that problem is in some ethnicities west of our border. That's absolutely true. And we should be looking for our own interest but in the longer run, do we want an extremist ideology running...

Dude, most of whom fought the Soviets are either part of the Afghan Government or the opposition. Taliban hardly have any connection with the Mujahideen who fought the soviets. So please clarify which faction are you talking about?

Late AM Asghar Khan; The man whose preparations practically saved Pakistan from a humiliating defeat in 1965 would definitely disagree with this distortion of history.

I'm confused. As some members have mentioned already, they were arrested by FIA because Murad Saeed complained about some false story. But this FIA press release talks about defaming Judges and Army. Can anyone explain?

I don't think we'd need to send in the troops, a few drone shots here and there would work.
