There is a great misconception that terrorism in Pakistan started after 9/11. It's not true. It started in the early 90s when the same militants belonging to sectarian groups started targeting minority sects in Pakistan. These terrorist groups attacked all minority sects.
At that time people were less concerned because only minority sects were suffering. But due to the government's lack of action and people's ignorance the monster of terrorism grew to such an extent that militants were able to penetrate not only into our society but also spread their network to many countries of the world. It also resulted in great setbacks to Pakistan's international reputation. It was the Musharraf government that started a campaign against terrorists. He banned all sectarian organisations for the first time and captured or killed a number of big terrorists. Since his government was the first to do it through government and intelligence agencies, these terrorist groups started targeting it. Because of 9/11 the government of Pakistan got the opportunity to severe its previous ties with these jihadi groups who were playing havoc with the people of Pakistan at that time.
I am surprised to hear people say that it is not our war. If it is not our war then should we allow killings of our innocent men, women and children? Our schools have been destroyed and our mosques and imambargahs are no more safe.
The Pakistan army is being attacked and so many brilliant officers and jawans are dead. People are brutally slaughtered like animals and a reign of terror has been established everywhere because of deadly suicide bombings. All negotiations with militants failed as the whole nation witnessed prior to the launch of the Swat operation. The militants' agenda is different from ours – they want to destroy Pakistan and capture its strategic and nuclear assets. How can we let them freely do their acts of barbarism? Thank God, after so many years, the people of Pakistan have started to realise that the war on terror is our own and that we have no option but to eliminate extremists.
