A truly incredible spectacle is the Pakistani civil population ignoring and at times justifying their government’s sponsor of factions that perform terror which result to innocent civilians dying in Afghanistan and Kashmir. In Afghanistan the Pakistani government supports Taliban and other anti-government factions such as the Haqqani network through the ISI. The operation is quite sophisticated and it has been for many years now, however the government is but of a fraction of the population of Pakistan. The population of Pakistani in 2014 is roughly 188 million, can the majority overlook the murder of innocent human beings in Afghanistan and Kashmir? There are few Pakistani individuals who have voiced their concerns however their arguments have been nullified, voided and looked frowned upon by the rest to the point where they had to leave Pakistan for security reasons.
Pakistan has mastered propagating religion as a coating around their geo-political agenda, as the Americans and British did prior to them. Since Pakistan deems itself an Islamic ideological state to its population it makes this process almost seamless. This strategy they have implemented has created a willfully blind population towards their government’s action, and when the population hears about innocent children and women dying in Afghanistan they turn the cheek as if it was justified for them to die. Even if some find the humanist element link to the innocents who have died, the propaganda through religion easily destroys the link and any remorse.
The state sponsoring factions outside of Pakistan and the heavy influence of neighboring nations through military means has also shifted an enormous amount of power from the civil government to the Pakistani army. The most influential Pakistani Prime Ministers have been Generals of the Pakistani army and a few of them won over the country through a coup d’état. This also may explain why the government of Pakistan is spending $ 8.127 Billion dollars on military expenditure while roughly 40 million live below the poverty line. The more humanist and logical approach would allocate that budget otherwise; the money should have been spent on social welfare and not on the military.
We are also now witnessing some of the repercussions of this policy Pakistan has adopted and it was recently through the Peshawar attacks. The use of religion for a deeper political agenda always has a double edged sword, the other side of the sword in this case is the TTP. Although a small population, which is gaining support rapidly because it is utilizing the extremist approach the government rooted into the population. There are already popular Pakistani Muslim clerics that are not condemning the Peshawar attacks. We can now only hope there is a revamp in policy that can end the innocent slayings of Afghans which occur on a daily basis.
Deny and ignoring is the pakistani idealogy
This is totally an Indian writer or someone who has closed his eyes on India and Afghanistan. If Pakistan is doing so one must ask what is India and Afghanistan doing? What is TTP? It is a segment which was initially established by CIA and now is feeded by India through Afghans. To be a neutral person the problem always started by India, responded by Pakistan and now few Afghan individuals are also using it in there own favour, just to pitch money not to help India because as a matter of fact no muslim is comfortable with India weather he is in Pakistan, Afghanistan or even in India.
As a muslim I am very much happy with India and there are millions of Indian muslims who are happy living in India – contrary it is pakistna’s population that are not happy with anything and even theor own existence.
Now your question regarding TTP, if you can help haqanis to distabalize Afghanistan and carry out sucide attcks in my country’s major cities – then we can just sit and watch you. We WILL support and help those proxies to harm you the same way that you do and we can assure you that we will repay you double!

It is ironic that pakistanis generalise everthing for their beneifit and when it comes to articles of this type, pakistanis refer the authors regardless where they come from and their nationality, as a person who favors India, they go to the extend that they call it a conspiracy of India, US and Afghanistan against their national interest.
Last time when there was flood in pakistan they blamed Afghanistan and India for the climate of Pakistan and the cloud moving around the sky above Pakistan.
