Topic No 1: Militancy
Name: Abu bakar Sadique
Government Decisions:
In response, Pakistani political parties agreed
on a comprehensive National Action Plan to combat terrorism and
extremist ideology across the country, and Sharif lifted a death penalty
moratorium to allow the execution of convicted terrorists. After nearly
two years, in June 2016 the Pakistani military declared that the
Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) had been cleared of
militants. Nearly five hundred Pakistani soldiers died in the clearing
operations, which killed roughly 3,500 militants.
Despite the government’s declaration of success and a decline in
frequency of attacks in recent years, the TTP and other militants
continue to operate and carry out major attacks. These include a
March 2016 suicide bombing in a park in Lahore that targeted families
celebrating Easter, killing almost seventy people and wounding over
three hundred, and an August 2016 suicide bombing of a hospital in
Quetta that targeted a gathering of lawyers, killing nearly seventy-five
people and injuring at least one hundred.
The military, which has historically been dominant over civilian
governments, is believed to still be providing support to the Haqqani
network, Lashkar-e-Taiba, and other militant proxy groups that often
collaborate with the TTP.
2018 brought a shift in the security relationship between the United
States and Pakistan, as the Donald J. Trump administration moved to
suspend security assistance to Pakistan over a perceived continuing
unwillingness to target militants who receive sanctuary in Pakistani
territory and carry out attacks in Afghanistan. More than $800 million
in security assistance was suspended or redirected in 2018, and the
United States has cut off access for Pakistani military officers to U.S.
military training and education programs, in an effort to pressure the
Pakistani government to change policy. The shift comes as
international pressure on Pakistan to tackle militancy and terrorism
grows; in June 2018 the Financial Action Task Force placed Pakistan on
the so-called “grey list” of countries not doing enough to stop money
laundering and terrorist financing.
Topic No 2: Religious Extremis
The religious extremism is imposed upon us since the inception of Pakistan. Our
leaders play their role to use the Islam as an easy way to gain the political
popularity among the common people.
The people think that Mr. Zulfaqar Ali was one of the liberal and ideological
people but unfortunately, in his tenure when the PPP was in power during 1973,
In the 1973 constitution imposed many of religious sentiments in our constitution
and likely to ignore the minority like the President and PM of should be
Muslims, declare the name of the country with inclusion the word “Islami”
(Islami Jamoreia Pakistan) and so. It was not too much dangerous to disrupt the
society.
In the Zia tenure our cultural and musical concerts were suspended and even
banded. Moreover, our school syllabus specially history and Pakistan study were
distorted to include the pan-Islamists elements which affect the generation who
were born in this tenure badly. When USSR defeated in Afghanistan. We equally
enjoyed the defeat of Russia with US. The ground was ready to play, because our
government was confident that we have recently defeated the USSR, we can
establish the Friendly government in Afghanistan through already available
proxies that’s why when the Taliban take the control of Afghanistan to hang out
the Dr. Najeeb and Declare Mulla Omer is Amir-UL Momanain Pakistan was the
first country to recognize the Government of Taliban.
Taliban took the control of our Tribal area FATA which seems to one of the
dangerous area of the world. Taliban declared it no go areas for the residents.
Taliban imposed their own rules and writ in FATA and now they start thinking
about the control of KPK areas e.g., they token control of swat once and
destroyed the peace, schools and locked the women in the wall of their homes.
They destroyed all female schools in Fata and many more in sweat. Pakistan is
suffering from terrorism and extremism since last some decades. This affected
the all spheres of life especially the Education sector of the country. The
education is used to cure these diseases to get rid of terrorism and extremism
from the root level. Terrorism and extremism affected the whole country
especially Khyber Pashtu Khawa and FATA.
