Well! What shall I say, when the agreement for Sharia Implementation in Northern Areas was reached between the N.W.F.P. Government and Mr. Sufi Muhammad, I was happy and totally in agreement with it. I thought that both the parties were sincere in this deal and the lasting peace could be achieved in troubled areas.
But I was so wrong. Mr. Sufi Muhammad (I wouldn't call him Maulana as I don’t think he understands the very basics of Islam) started to think that the government has bowed down to his demands and he has a license to do whatever he wants and challenged the very foundations of Democratic Pakistan, plus he was not able to convince all factions of Taliban to lay down heir weapons. The activities f Taliban continued. Killing, extortion, kidnapping, suicide bombings are all the same, nothing has changed.
Now some people are saying that they should be given time but I am with the view that the matter is so sensitive that Pakistan could lose and lose fast. The agreement should be reviewed immediately and to me reversed. A state within the state cannot and should not be allowed or tolerated. Taliban have proven that they only understand the language in which they talk. By God, if they have to be eliminated or bowed down on the expense of more blood, I would sacrifice mine for my country.

PPP Govt. should also review their own policy. The recent episodes have proven that they are more interested in saving their rule over Pakistan then Pakistan Itself. They should not bow down to demands of their coalition partners which they don’t agree with. The threats of Pulling out of coalition if their demands are not met should not be entertained on the expense of survival of Pakistan. Trust me saving your Govt. for short term gains on expense of very interests of Pakistan would weaken Pakistan and may result in disastrous consequences. Let the Government be ended. Let the process purify the system and time will come that the people who make demands that are not in the interest of Pakistan would understand. The PPP would emerge as a winner at the end. Please Save Pakistan First.
