Those who are criticizing PTI on their stance on WOT have already wasted at least 8 years of the nation with their military solutions. And even after so many operations a city like Peshawar isn't secured. If military operations were the solution, then why didn't you guys solve it before. PTI to abhi govt main bhi nahi aayi.
As I said earlier, PTI is kind of naive in saying this issue of Talib-b@stards is something really simple.
PTI says (at least that's what I understood) that if we could do the following, TTP will be like a puppy dog.
--- Sop the drones
--- Take Pak army out of FATA
--- Negotiate with TTP.
OK.
This naiveté could result in on of the following
-- They use this immense youth power and support to destroy the foundations of militancy.
-- PTI gets bombed out and blown up by TTP just like what happened to ANP
As many are saying here, that TTP is sharpening their knifes to skin yet another naive group of youngsters.
And sadly this probably is going to happen.
However there is a remote chance that PTI can use IK charisma (that is absent in pretty much every other politician), IK's established reputation of being corrruption free, may work, in stopping the Talib-B@stards in their tracks.
So what happens if PTI's olive branch to TTP is rejected. What happens then?
You all think it will negatively impact only PTI?
probably not.
Taking on PTI may be the beginning of the end of TTP. Ordinary masses that support TTP goons in the name of Islam may finally abandon TTP.
I am seeing a similar phenomenon in Karachi, where many in my community of Urdu-was are leaving MQM.
This is the first time I am seeing fishers in the MQM's rock solid support base.
If Imran can dig holes in MQM base, who knows PTI may be able to dig much larger holes in TTP support base.
No one can deny that PTI has for the first time, created grass root strong support for democracy itself.
It looks like finally we the Pakistanis are trying to own democracy instead of just talking about it.
It is this very democratic force that can unseat Talib-b@stards in a much less bloodier way than the army solution will do.
And oh by the way, TTP must pray that PTI doesn't turn on it.
Because if that happens, TTP may not find a single cave in Pakistan to hide.
Yes I am saying something way out there.
And some of you may laugh at it.
But I am seeing the sun shining bright on our nation.
And who knows, this time we may get just enough time in the sun, that our weakling little plants of love, tolerance, and mutual trust may take hold.
May take hold.
