Option number 1) Operation against L.J should be handled by the police (under the indirect guidance from the army; please don’t forget there are a lot of SHIAS in the army as well. The real problem is not to handle LJ but to handle SHIAS) and then the result delayed as much as possible, till after the election; by that time nation would be too busy to think about LJ. Option No.2) From Sipah-e-Sohaba to Lashkare Jhangvi, now another name is needed for the future operations. 3) All Hazaras cannot be moved from Quetta to another city; A long pause in operation is in order, while the attention is diverted from LJ to Taliban, Shrines (to the followers of Barelvi school of thought)

These are the same terrorists that murdered innocent Ahmadis in Lahore on May 28 2010. They have now murdered innocent Shia Hazaras. If the army does not root out and destroy this evil, which is in bed with our government and possibly the army itself, it will eventually attack the majority Sunnis.

“First they came for the communists,
and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a communist.

Then they came for the socialists,
and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a trade unionist.

Then they came for me,
and there was no one left to speak for me.”

The problem ios lack of transparency. You can still have transparency without insulting religion.
But when you acceept what the Dictators do, and never crirticize it, and when a coup is more popular then democracy – you will never know what is being done in your name – because of the lack of teransparency

Imran Khan believes we must negotiate with Talibans. So do Mulana Fazalur Rehman , Syed Munawar Hasan and Nawaz Shareef .
Following the logic given by these esteemed politicians we must negotiate with Lashkar-e- Jhangvi as well.
Since these four politicians believe we should not ask Talibans to stop killing innocent civilians prior to coming on a negotiable table . We should apply the same logic for Lashkar-e- Jhangvi and tell them that we want to talk to them and they are allowed to continue to kill as many innocent civilians as they like.
Targeted Operations , is the topic of the Forum. Targeted operation ? Are you out of your mind ?
Our Great politician Imran Khan has been saying from day one that we must stop Army action against Talibans in Waziristan. With the same logic we must not talk about bringing Army in Quetta , in fact we must remove FC and other forces from Quetta. Let Taliban give free hand in Waziristan and free hand to Lashkar-e- Jhangvi in Quetta to exercise what they love most i.e. killing innocent civilians.
I agree with Imran Khan that this is not our War. When the USA leaves Afghanistan and stop the drones then both Talibans and Lashkar-e- Jhangvi will be distributing flowers amongst the civilians and they will throw away all the arms.
Wow we are so gullible that we allow these men to be our leaders. The word that best describes our thinking is masochism. We are all masochists. We will vote for these leaders.
No shame on Talibans, No shame on Lashkar-e- Jhangvi . Shame on us. Shame on us.

Why is it that you do not realise that once you let the Gennie out of the bottle, you can never ever control it again?

it is not the responsibility of Army, Ulma/Alim of both sides need to be cleaned to avoid any incident in future

So you don’t want to clean your house, in other word one house is acceptable with filth to spread hate.

“Police action allows for prosecution of these elements and it is not considered to be a heavy handed use of force…”
