Nawaz Sharif is playing his cards perfectly........ it was states responsibility to ask for International Donors Aid, which America would have loved to fulfill, as it is truly something they would have supported and backed (zarb-e-azb + help in IDP relocation)
How NS and PMLN's Punjabi dogs played the game:
1. Refused all international aid at the behest of god knows who...... well I know but that's a debate for another day...
2. Barred Pakistani nationals (boxed IDP's within KPK) and refused the freedom of movement enshrined in our constitution..........
3. Army did all the dirty work, and he scored points on all fronts......
Please refrain from these self righteous outbursts.
1. International donors and US have provided aid through different channels (including UN departments and embassies)

2. Federal Govt has already released 5.82 Billion for IDPs (IK was demanding 6 Billion) but its focal point is Ministry of States and Frontier Regions which is assisted by the Governor, National Disaster Management Authority and FATA Disaster Management Authority all of which come under the umbrella of Federal govt. IK is making noises that these funds should be reimbursed through KPK govt (for political point scoring - it has nothing to do with condition of IDPs).
3. IDPs have not been barred, the same exact allegations were made by ANP govt (Swat operation) which forgot to add that they had requested Punjab govt to transfer all funds to KPK govt because it was a 'central location' for IDPs (still more then a million IDPs were stationed in Punjab - read some UN reports about Swat operation please). Whats more KPK opposition later on alleged that ANP govt has done a lot of corruption and most $$ coming in shape of aid for IDPs has gone to their wallets.
4. Army did what? On one hand PMLN was being blamed for delaying the operation because of dialogue and not being a trigger happy cowboy and nuking FATA as per the demands of khakis now you are giving it a new spin that Army was somehow mislead by PMLN - and exactly what points did PMLN gain out of this mess? Its a rightist party and thanks to decades of brainwashing by Khakis the zombie army of Khurasan made a lot of fans in right-wingers. The only way out for PMLN was to completely isolate few groups through dialogue then go for a very limited operation which would have kept the IDPs to minimum which according to you lot was the greatest betrayal to Pakistan.
5. Finally after 18th amendment, Federal govt simply doesn't have the budget to accommodate all IDPs. Lions share of budget goes to provinces who will have to foot the bill with Federal govt.
Are these khaki fanboys for real. Most declared on this forum that Khakis have initiated the operation on their own without even asking the govt but now its the devil incarnate govt which somehow played all of them like a fiddle.
(Lets not even start on PTI which was the frontal vanguard of Khakis in isolating govt and pushing it on a backfoot on this operation issue and now is crying crocodile tears)
