yeh they are going to launch an operation in waziristan but Agno the real cause will remain the same as long as US is in our backyard spreading terrorism you are going to face this.
i wonder when it will start in South Punjab the people will cry loud
It will likely start in South Punjab (and by extension all of Punjab - you know if it starts in Punjab Lahore is going to be a prime target). We know the groups involved can act in Punjab given the various attacks in and around Lahore.
Will the Punjab government then crackdown on these groups? The terrain in Punjab is nowhere close to what it is in Waziristan, so I don't think the government will face as many issues in destroying the groups there as it will in FATA, but the real danger will not come from the organized groups and their headquarters, but from small cells hiding in the populace.
To destroy the small cells you need effective police work and cooperation from the citizens, you need to clamp down on the sources of explosives or the ingredients used to make them. That is not an easy challenge to face.
Making civilians aware of their responsibilities in cooperating and reporting suspicious activity - we need a major public awareness campaign coupled with effective law enforcement that does not automatically vilify and thrash suspicious individuals which would in turn make people reluctant to report suspicious activity to the police.
Our journalists can play a major role in raising awareness.
But allowing these people an entire agency to pan, plot and organize really exacerbates the issue.
