Why is Pakistan Army not in the barracks? WHY? WHY? Let there be an open society and the people living in that area will then settle down. Balochistan and Northern Pakistan sizzles with Pakistan Army's presence. If they remain in the barracks then such attacks will cease. ACTION AND REACTION. Civilian leadership should be allowed time to tackle the problems facing the country. Good Luck to Pakistan Government for its policy against Military operations.
