It is by and large believed that terrorism is the premeditated, unjustifiable and random use of ferocity against protected persons for furtherance of certain political as well as non political objectives. These acts are performed by those group in a state that consider themselves above law. There is often a great confusion between phenomenon of political violence and terrorism. The term terrorism applies to a special category of opprobrious acts rather than to all acts of politically inspired violence.
In order to cope the curse of terrorism in any part of the world the governments or authorities must first of all deny terrorist and militants any form of legitimacy, and all make sure that they are starved of the oxygen of publicity. To fight terrorism with terrorism is sometimes denounced as a wrong strategy because replacing one evil with another one can do no good. Evil can be profitably replaced only with truth, justice and harmony.
Given where Pakistan stands today, as a weak and almost a dysfunctional state with a discontent society – it is high time that thundering battle crises against terrorism are abandoned. For us it is important to put our house in order and not get drawn into the battle of crises of those who in time will realize the weakness of there own position.
