I don't want to repeat myself, I have repeating myself many times for different posters. All your points have been addressed in my previous posts.

There are 7-8 checkpoints from the Afghan border to Parachinar city. A few months ago, a car filled with bombs and explosives was able to reach close to the city from Paktia, easily crossing many checkpoints. It was only when it was fired upon that the explosives in the car exploded. It was...

The other difference is that the Indian security forces know exactly what is going on in Indian neighborhoods, and can deploy the resources to neutralize any threats. Pakistan needs to go beyond the surface, improve surveillance, utilize more resources internally if it wants to get out of this...

When a city of 50,000 is cordoned off, and cut off from the rest of the country and patrolled by FC; it can assure close to 100% security. Quetta, Peshawar, Lahore have not been in lockdown or patrolled by the FC the way Parachinar is. There are many routes that lead to these cities, which...

The difference again is, that Parachinar is a city of 50,000 people. Peshawar and Quetta have far greater population. Even with such a low population, Parachinar is under lockdown of FC, who have established many checkpoints to reach the main city. That is not the case of any other major city...

Pakistan's and the Pakistan Army's credibility is damaged every time a terrorist attack happens. Diplomacy is of no use if you cannot provide basic security to civilians. There is no use of talking about unity when the Armed Forces are indifferent towards the plight of innocent civilians who...

They aren't protesting against Army because of Iran, they are protesting because they were asked to disarm, which they did peacefully at the request of the state. The FC was responsible to provide them security, but this is the 3rd major attack in the same city in 6 months that has killed...

I have a very simple question for you. India has about the same number of Shia and Sunni Muslims residing in India. If your theory is correct that Indian and US destabilizing Afghanistan is spawning sectarianism inside Pakistan, shouldn't the destabilizing of Pakistan spawn...

What does Iran have to do with the events in Parachinar? Looks like people just want to deflect. It would be good to focus on our internal matters, and non Pakistanis shouldn't be commenting either.

This is a town under the complete control of FC, it is in lockdown and cordoned off from the rest of the country, and locals have to go through 7-8 checkpoints to get to the main city center. This has become a huge hassle for the locals, but they managed to ignore their irritation in light of...

Who cares about Iran? It is not a good example to emulate anyways, I have always been critical of their interference in other nations on this forum. We are Pakistanis who love Pakistan, but if the Armed Forces do a lousy job and do f*** all about these incidents, we will call them out for it.

Wow, senior members and mods openly displaying their sectarian mindsets on this forum. Things are worse than what I had imagined, the poison has spread far more into society, to the point that it is difficult to even have a rational discussion with people here. Draw false equivalencies, blame...

This COAS should be giving less political statements and stop behaving like a politician. Actions wise this COAS is zero. We don't need hollow, meaningless words; we need action

There are bad apples everywhere, in the FC as well. I have no doubt some FC personnel were complicit, and a thorough and impartial investigation must be conducted to bring the perpetrators to justice. This attack could not have taken place without the complicity of certain FC personnel.

Three major terrorist attacks in six months killing dozens are not random bomb blasts, especially in heavily FC patrolled areas.

This is a Pakistani thread, so non-Pakistani posters shouldn't be commenting. And the Pakistani posters shouldn't be making this about Iran when this has everything to do with their own failures.

They will focus on Shia-Sunni issues, blasphemy law; but will not perform their basic duty to safeguard the lives of citizens and bring the perpetrators to justice. When the 2 Chinese nationals were kidnapped, instead of expressing remorse, and accepting responsibility; this Ch. Nisar said that...

Hollow words. These words do more harm than good, and further places the credibility of this institution in question. I never thought I would say this about the Pakistan Army, as I have always been a defender of them (and will still defend them from Bharati trolls and others). But their lack of...

When people support the Armed Forces through thick and thin; and the apathy and indifference is what they get in return, in the the face of constant targeting right under their noses, what do you expect? Shias wouldn't be facing attacks in manifolds, they can protect themselves very well; but...

It's a figure of speech, "no" doesn't mean "not even a single one". Yes, it is a Sunni majority region, not like the Indian who was claiming Khamenei was talking about Azad Kashmir. The Indian was claiming it was a Shia majority region, and I was responding to that.
