Won’t allow army in tribal areas if elected PM: Imran

[FaujHistorian]

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan said on Tuesday that if he were in power, army would not have entered the tribal areas.

Addressing his sit-in, which has shrunk, Khan said that if he was elected prime minister, he would not allow army to enter in tribal areas, instead the tribal men would become soldiers. Khan said that “tribal people are our army” and a time will come “when we will establish peace in the entire region without fighting”. Imran said he knows that closing down the country would increase the problems faced by the people but he also knows that “only sacrifices could pave the way to freedom”. He said that all the political parties have joined together against the PTI, “but the government leaders do not know that PTI has many more plans in the pipeline”.

Khan said that he could not do anything single-handedly and noted he won the World Cup with the support of a team too. “The people of the country would make a ‘new Pakistan’ and not me,” he added. Then PTI chairman also said that flawless elections would form the basis of a “new Pakistan”. Imran said he would just show the people the path to be followed. He said ending poverty is not that difficult, it just needs right decisions. Khan resolved to steer around 110 million people of the country out of poverty and said that it would be a challenge for an Islamic welfare country to end poverty.

He further said that he never thought for a single moment that he would not succeed and that God grants more power to people if they try to stand up after falling down. Khan said Pakistan’s destiny would change if only 200 honest professionals were appointed on key posts. He said that people have laid out foundation of “Naya Pakistan”. “To lift out 110 million people of the poverty line would be the major challenge we will be facing after building the Naya Pakistan,” he said. The PTI chairman pledged that he would put an end to ongoing target killings and violence in Karachi.

“Target killings could not stop until the police remain political,” Khan said while referring to violence in the mega city. Taking credit, he said that PTI has depoliticised the police in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, where his party is in power. The cricketer-turned-politician further stated that his ongoing sit-in in Islamabad have given a lot of awareness to the general public. Imran claimed that the wrist watch that Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif wears is worth Rs 30 million.

Another anti-army bakwas by paagal khan.


What the heck is wrong with him.

50,000 Pakistanis dead before June ops (zarbee Azab) and this donkey is still braying 10 years old deenchun deendhun


As I said, this guy has gone mad

like Majnoon of Laila Majnoon.


How long we all will support anti-state Kaptan, the pathetic terrorist supporter.

For how the heck long we'll allow burqa posh mullahs to run amuck maligning our law enforcement agencies and our army.

Stop using the race card and tell Ik to answer my query. IK is the only proven racist here, look at his statements about Punjabis and Sindhis.

Race card? you generalized about whole Niazi tribe, atleast a million people......stop making excuses for your racism

We do have this problem - West Bengal has a 2000 km border with Bangladesh with a massive illegal immigration problem.
Put a paramilitary force at the border and increase police in the area.
When the number of police becomes overwhelming, they start taking on these other gangs and groups on their own so they can take over the illegal extortion business. Its still better though.

If the tribals dont want the Army there, use some other means. Politics is the art of the possible, get the same objectives achieved using the path of least resistance from the locals.

Wrong analogy.


Think ICK. not BDesh..

Oh bhai Jaan

you probably know it already from the posts of @Samandri. He though highly educated and literate, is among the most racist posters on this forum.

Everything from Pakistan to India shows up from his race based analysis and nothing else.

You can not withdraw army from Tribal areas now, it will be perceived as "retreat" by population there. The spine of Waziristanis is quite broken from zarb-e-azab and displacement, they had this sense of invincibility and pride which has evaporated in the tents for the time being......if dont keep tight grip on their necks i.e you dont build permanent military cantonments in the area, the region would continue seeing different kind of armed insurgencies. You either leave Waziristan alone altogether or completely subjugate it with writ of state.


Stop being racist

permanent cantonments baby.

permanent.

one in Swat is already developing. We need the same in NWA and every other place.

Why our army must "withdraw" from our own areas. Our own country.

What Childish, I don't find anything wrong with the statement; state Police should take care of the security issue, first you have to make your police strong enough and then they will take charge.

What if terrorists try to make their command center again? Is our Police capable enough to handle the situation? These steps should be taken when Pak-Afghan border is completely sealed off. Otherwise, we have no option but the Army.

Are you a Niazi? In my ancestral area, awans and niazis live side by side. If you think I am generalising against Niazis then you're an idiot. You didn't even understand the subject of my post.

And I thought IK had some sense knocked into him with passage of time.

Nope, IK is a racist. He constantly apologises for terrorists in the tribal area just because he shares the same ethnicity as them. As for me being racist, I am also a member of British National Party and the tooth fairy.

The ironic thing is that the TTP and other militant groups had hurt badly many of the Tribal Lashkers against them, bar Ansarul Islam, who were effective and held their own.

These are battle hardened fanatics we are talking of, not some rag tag bunch of hillbillies. Take the regular army out of the equation and we would have an ISIS type situation of these savages taking vast tracts of land in the Tribal region.

Your MQM is racist, not IK.
