Media Campaign in Swat Victims Camps
By Altaf Khan • May 23rd, 2009 • Category: Politics • 2 CommentsWe need not only to fight the terrorism in the Swat, but also in the camps for the internally displaced people. It would be so naive to believe that all the 1.3 million people would be common victims living in the various parts of the NWFP, there must be many Taliban hiding among these refugees.
One pressing need and onus of the intelligence agencies is to scour the refugees and identify and capture the Taliban militants without creating panic and widespread unrest. The migrants are already suffering and our inteligence agencies and security forces must make sure that they are not targeted anymore.
Another pressing thing is that media campaing should be started in the camps telling people that all this suffering and destruction has been caused by Taliban and when these people return to their native areas, they must not let Taliban once again take over their areas. In part, these people are also responsible for this havoc in the Malakand Agencies, as they let Taliban flourish and rule over them.

Hi Altaf,
The poor people whom you blame atleast only succumbed to the lashes and guns of Taliban while morally they are asked to follow Nizam-e.adl.
But what about your city elites and national parliament which passed nizam-e.adl. Who terrorises them?
@Johann:
Nizam-e-Adl, you say. The so-called law was only passed by the Government so that the militants may lay down their arms. What’s more is not the lashes or the guns of the Taliban but their mass brutality towards common ideologies. A few more years under the Taliban and the people would lose all that they yearn for. Girls can’t go to school. If the passage of Nizam-e-Adl via the parliament could stop these fundamentalist ideas to proceed, it seemed far much a better idea then.
However, you need to remember that Taliban is not a recognised faction of the Government and the law was not passed for them to control and govern. It was actually for the provincial and city-wide Governments of the affected regions (especially Sufi Muhammad). The Government, Parliament, President or even the Federal or the Governments of other provinces and cities should not be blamed for this.
@Altaf:
You are absolutely write by saying so.
