Pakistan should take RAW and India seriously. It seems after failed attempt at opened war where it lost 2 aircrafts and failed incursions they have resorted to snake fighting. Pakistan needs to perform action.
They have caught countless BLA and TTP elements over the years. Nothing happens. We don't hear anything. It just vanishes and everyone forgets. We move onto the next incident. This has become a routine now for almost two decades. Attacks occur. Depending on the outcome we either wheep or celebrate.
The problem lies with the decision-makers. If we can identify and suggest ideas to tackle the problem why can't the decision-makers?
Don't worry, it has already been taken to them.... They will respond as well.... It's war, casualties happen for both sides, it was never a one sided game, and it never will be.
Everyone of us has to do his own work in a professional and efficient manner....
Like the couple of simple looking armed guards who took the brunt and despatched the attackers today.... Just like them, everyone one of us has to do our work efficiently..... Just to quote someone from 1947..... WITHOUT FEAR AND WITHOUT FAVOR.

The problem lies with the decision-makers. If we can identify and suggest ideas to tackle the problem why can't the decision-makers? Something is not right. In any other country the likes of BLA and PTM would be locked up and punished severely. In Pakistan, BLA and PTM walk around freely and challange the state. They are allowed to protest and agitate. The state is just a spectator.
The outcome of this attack is also very predictable. Nothing much will happen. What needs to happen is that the security forces and intelligence agencies need to get into the places where these terrorists operate. They train and arm themselves in open spaces. We have pictures on this forum where these terrorists were training. Why can't the security forces and intel agencies infiltrate and reach these places?
You are right. There is a bigger problem.
But eventually Pakistan will have to import Chinese face recognition and tracking city wide camera systems and install them in all major cities, highways, motorways etc.
Either Pakistan saves money now and keeps on ruining their economy or finds a way to finance such high tech approaches once and for all.
Sooner or later in a city, a known terrorist will show his face and with a system like this installed in all major cities, one can identify and report not just him but Pakistan can silently track all his accomplices. Other criminals can be nabbed as well making cities safer. Do realize tracking and identification is automatic and no one is actually watching us. So our privacy is pretty much safe even when such system is on. At least we should do it for a while, till terrorism dies out. Once peace is restored we can dismantle such system if we want to (to restore our privacy etc.).
May be a soft loan from china will help in this regards so that Chinese system can be imported.
BLA doesn't exist beyond few liberals and show horses.The Pak armed forces will have to dismantle BLA.

It's not hard to prepare 2-3 terrorists every year. They are basically distraction, on the other hand our focus should remain Kashmir, where lot is happening.
Exactly. There are tons and tons of initiatives that the state and security forces could and must take to ensure security and stability. Unfortunately there is an extremely lethargic response. It is almost like the state doesn't want to act against terrorists. This is the wrong approach and regrettably we haven't learnt from the past. TTP should serve as a strak reminder how Pakistan was shackled in an extremely difficult situation. BLA cannot be allowed to become a bigger monster. Balochistan must at all cost be cleansed from the few remnant terrorists. The state must not let this problem get bigger.
Round up BLA. Use every means possible to gather intel. Round up their families, acquaintances and terror backers. Get to the very bottom of this problem and eliminate it as hard as possible. There should be no debate on this. It needs to be done quickly and decisively. The state and security forces must not bow before the media or foreign pressure.
I would say border with Iran should be sealed fully.
However, it would lead to extreme poverty among over a million baloch who depend on smuggled goods from iran. Once out of job and out of money and already not just poor but living in a land that is significantly underdeveloped means that they could be recruited for money (at least some of them) and that can lead to further security disaster.
Hence along with sealing the border with Iran, Pakistan government by working actively with international doner agencies, Chinese and others, alternative and regulated job opportunities for these baloch must be created.
A quota system should be set up by Pakistan in consultation with GCC countries to give priority to these baloch in emerging middle eastern jobs so that they can be economically uplifted.
We don't want to solve one problem by sealing the borders and create another mess by creating extreme hardship for ordinary Baloch whose livelihood depends on smuggled goods. Do realize that there are scars job opportunities in Balochistan. Hence they should be given alternatives to smuggling through active government programs. WE are economically losing already billions. WHY not secure Balochistan and make those billions. But first we need to spend some there to secure it.
Still movement along all borders now must be strictly regulated. With cameras whose data is relayed elsewhere in the country so that even when local border guards take bribe and let criminal elements go, they can be later identified and arrested (have camera based monitoring cells in other provinces connected by nation wide telecom network). That will deter them in the future since they are being monitored by people they don't know nor have any control over. These border police should however be decently paid so that the bribe is less attractive in the first place.
Creating job opportunists in Balochistan will also create visible satisfaction and sense of hope in baloch youth. Which means they will actively reject these elements rather than passively ignoring them (both out of fear since BLA can kill you or out of resentment for not having any income or job and therefore a sense of inequality and neglect).
We must get our own house in order. Since US pays afghan NDS salary and CIA liaison office closely connected with NDS where NDS and CIA daily plan and execute both operational level and strategic level intel based details. US must be held accountable too. US should be told that they either stop their paid stooges namely NDS or there would no cooperation as far as Taliban is concerned. Iran will automatically pay the price once borders are sealed since it will loose a huge market that it has due to smuggled goods in Pakistan. Once border trade is regulated, Pakistan will have huge leverage over its neighbors.
A stock exchange for stock exchange. This should be the decision for retaliation just in case.
So .....two "Nations" collaborated and arranged a "Mega Terror attack" .... which lasted 14 minutes and was effectively dealt with security guards and local police?
