Guftgu: A Dialogue Between Neighbours
- 27-Oct-2014
It’s no more obscure that the scourge of terrorism has spread its wings to more than a world’s single territory. Needless to say, Pakistan has been the largest sufferer of the terrorism menace, especially in the wake of 9/11 attacks. In an attempt to highlight this global threat, a joint venture of media partners across Pakistan, India and Afghanistan ARY/NDTV/TOLO, is being launched to underline the terrorism issues facing the South Asian countries. It may be mentioned here that Pakistan has lost lives of more than 50,000 people with over 200,000 causalities in terrorism incidents. Since 2009, almost 80% of the victims of terrorism in South Asia belonged to Pakistan. An Operation clean-up by Pakistan Army to wipe terrorists and the scourge of terrorism from its soil looks more challenging in view of outside factors persistently sponsoring terrorism in the country of 180-million people. Who is abetting and aiding terrorists to destabilize Pakistan? Involvement of India and Afghanistan cannot be ruled out, given the sporadic refusals of dialogue on different pretexts of these two states with Pakistan.
