I have discussed about the "consequences" of military operation in north waziristan in this thread.
Consquences of military operation in North waziristan
Military operation should always be the last resort, unfortunately we are heading towards it without peace talks. If governament and army has already decided to take complete control of NW militarily, then they should first evacuate all the civilian population from the area and arrange IDP camps for them. I wish they dont use aerial bombardments and rely only on ground troops, but that wont happen. I am saying this becasue mehsud region has become a ghost region, ruins with almost no population as all villages were razed to the ground level in intensive aerial bombaremt and artillary, tanks shelling in 2009 operation, thats why IDPs are not returning....
I do support north waziristan operation, in my opinion the NW agency has become highly chaotic and unstable. the reason for it is army's peace treaty with hafiz gul bahadur.........to my surprise the peace treaty allows foreigners in the agency.....also hafiz gul bahadur sahab has either no control over TTP or has given them silent approval to carry out attacks on security forces.....moreover dozen other groups have sought refuge in NW.
Another reason for violence is presence of haqqani netwrok in NW, their presence invites american drones and such a hypocracy that they are based in same miranshah where army is also camped.
Third reason is pak army itself, which when attacked by taliban, retaliates with mortar shelling on nearby village and impose curfews for days or weeks, paralyzing the life there. For these 3 reasons i support a careful military operation in north waziristan...........But this raheel shareef is definitely going to mess it up.
In my opinion PTI wont do "dharnas" against north waziristan operation once it is started.....people label them pro-taliban but in my opinion they are just scared of fate of ANP.........
imran khan was mistaking taliban for noble tribal warriors of british times, he is realizing that the reality is different and much complex.
