We commend the role of Pakistani authorities against terrorism and the sacrifices they have made in this fight against an elusive enemy. We have worked closely with the Pakistani authorities and provided them with training and tools to fight our common enemy. A training workshop on IEDs and bomb disposal was held in Washington DC in October while recently Karachi’s security authorities received training and advance bomb disposal robotic machines from the US Consulate in Karachi. Police are an important part of any civilized society and they should be encouraged and appreciated for the work they do to keep a local area safe from internal and external threats. We stand by the people and security authorities of Pakistan in their quest to keep their local area safe and free of criminals and terrorists.

I concur with the remarks of Ali Ayub below. Do not label pastuns as suicide bombers. Get your stats right. Them terrorist suicide bombers have no cast creed or race. They are absolute mislead bunch of people who think they will go to heaven for killing innocent unarmed people. I wish if they knew what they are up to. Anyways not straying from the topic yes the sacrifices made by Police and the Army will not be forgotten. Police have their own role to play and the Army has its own there are certain limitations otherwise they would have emerged as on single force. It is to clarify the remarks made below that if resources given they would outshine the Army. There is no race for out shining each other. But the logic is you can’t give a tank or an artillery gun to police. The best you can is to prepare them in terms of training and specialized equipment as we see in many developed countries. The list is long but I will restrict my self to only this aspect. Long Live Pakistan Army & Police Long Live Pakistan.

I do believe, if Police is given a budget (or resources) equal to Pakistan Army, it would outshine Army’s performance. This isn’t about mere salary raise but arm facilities, infrastructure, living standards, training and technique etc.
Need of the hour is cut in Army resources and empowering the masses.

Law and Order forces in our country have two extremely different faces – like Pakistan itself. Corruption, Terror and Mismanagement on one side; Sacrifices and honour on the other side. They are part of Pakistan – in good and in evil. We should not forget to praise their sacrifices and we should keep in mind their miserable salaries.

Shame on people who do not condemn attacks on our Police Jawans! A very timely and thoughtful article. Heaps of praise and status of Martyrdom for our Police deaths against fighting criminals. Why is the Military death called Martyrdom and a Police death discriminated. Only Allah will decide the status of a true Martyr, however He has given us clear guidance about Martyrdom. I am very thankful to the writer to bring out such an important issue. The courage and innocence of these Police Jawans is unbeatable. While the Military is fortified and well protected, these Police Jawans brave the streets each day without resources. Is it only because some of them working in influential places are deeply corrupt and deprive the common Jawans of their rightful means to enforce the law honestly? Give me example of how many common people with access to such corrupt practices are willing to live with their lives on their palms each day – none I am sure. So, please stop this bashing of our great nation, and start supporting and encouraging the good deeds and the sacrifices of the Police on equal terms as any other Agency of this country. Thank you Police Forces of Pakistan for shielding us everyday!

No sympathy for Pakistani Police in my heart.
