Security first

Published May 22, 2015

ALMOST every day we hear that many Taliban are killed in Waziristan and for that we appreciate our army.

But the Taliban are not just in Waziristan. They are found all over the country. Killing them in Waziristan is not working.

There should be security and intelligence panels in each city so that before they harm us we finish them off. We don’t need roads, underpasses and most expensive projects running in our country. We need security of lives. Development does not come from big projects, it comes from those who make these projects. It is they who need protection and development the most.
