Vanish Taliban And Free Pakistan Now
By Tipu Sultan • May 7th, 2009 • Category: Politics • 2 CommentsWe were never this weak as a Nation yet that strong in our resolve and courage to fight everyone for our sovereignty.
We voted for a civilian government and we achieved our desired goal,a civilian government with the backing of a daring Nation yet one year has elapsed but no sign of change which we voted for and hoped so much.
we are witnessing oak ward period in our history when everyone is closing in on Pakistan from all angles. People are predicting the breaking of this country yet people remain hopeful for its bright future.
Why our government is hesitant to take action to establish its writ? What is the obstacle,is there lack of will? is there lack of resources?
What if Taliban continue to march on and our leaders continue to visit foreign countries. Shall we continue to watch our country sinking in to the shadows of ignorance and self cited Islam and laws made to benefit some and crush majority.
This was not the dream of our founding fathers where people are distinguished on the basis of language,colour,outlook,where women are pressed for speaking for their rights.
One wonders how quick people change,just other day bitter rival of PPP and PML-N Sher Afghan gave a punch to PPP lead federal government
“Civil society based government should be formed by suspending Parliament for two years”
What is the logic behind giving Taliban free hand after meeting all their demands. Why free people of this country are made hostage ?
This is the time our government crush all those Taliban responsible for killing and put behind bar all Sufis and all other clerics who are beating drums of Islam and Shariah.
This country needs change badly as current coalition has failed to control the situation and bring any significant positive change.

The crisis in FATA and Swat has increasingly become reduced to a narrative of the evil Taliban versus the helpless state and society. That the Taliban have instituted a horrendous regime of terror is beyond question. But it is evasive and dangerous to think that the Taliban are the only bogeymen. We need to understand the ongoing crisis in terms of Talibanization as a historical process of Islamist moral policing and militancy, which has been an established part of state policy in Pakistan since its inception. Until we refuse to acknowledge this reality, and tackle it head on, we will be unable to address the existential mess in which we find ourselves today.
As early as the 1950s, senior government officials in Pakistan had begun to authorize hypocritical and intolerant religious policies in the name of promoting an Islamic identity for the new nation. For example, in The State of Martial Rule, Ayesha Jalal discusses how Prime Minister Liaqat Ali Khan issued an official injunction urging Muslims to fast, which subsequently paved the way for populist Islamist moral policing – mobs stormed restaurants that did not close during fasting hours, non-fasters were paraded through bazaars in NWFP with the support of the local police, and the judiciary in Haripur sentenced people for eating in public.
In such an environment, fundamentalist parties like the Jamaat-e-Islami flexed their muscles even more. By 1953, we had already succumbed to certain aspects of religious terror that we associate with the Taliban: in organized riots all over Punjab, religious parties as well as the Muslim League government collaborated in the extensive looting, arson, and murder of fellow Ahmadi Pakistani citizens.
Both the Pakistani state and society have thus been implicated in the process of Talibanization right from the start, reducing politics to cynical uses of religion instead of substantive citizenship, and encouraging a singular and authoritarian interpretation of Islam which is now being brought to its logical conclusion by the Taliban. Civilian and military governments have pandered to the fundamentalist lobby at every step for short-sighted political gains, and introduced Islamist policies themselves to strengthen their power.
