Response against Quetta Blast

By Waqas Imam

Mere denunciation for the Quetta bomb blast by all political segments of society in which eighty people had been assassinated is not sufficient. It has become a custom or an official state practice in Pakistan to give a condemnation message as a fulfillment of responsibility. Similarly the silence of government for two persons that were thrashed on Thursday night in Islamabad by a car belonging to US embassy is not required, people want serious actions. Additionally we must not undermine the Bara massacre as well which is at present in the state of national ignorance which is quite unfair.

Pakistan is in a state of turmoil from more of a decade that it was never before. Therefore we need to think that Governor Raj in Baluchistan was no solution, neither a new demand for military takeover is! As proved in the case of Swat military operation. We must think analytically that what is the point of inflection for such chaos in Pakistan’s geo-political timeline? Such chaos never materialized in Pakistan before the American War. American political and military manifestation in the region is the biggest threat to Pakistan's stability. Since American presence encourages Indian supremacy in the region which is accomplished by weakening Pakistan through internal chaos & engagements within.

Therefore in order to get out of this internal chaos, Pakistan has to revisit her policies about the American war in the region. Pakistan’s contribution towards American War has brought miseries to its own people. Pakistan should stop supporting American war and American presence in the region and should withdraw all intelligence, military & logistics support.
