Attack on Pakistan Navy base: Time to wake up (III)

Letter May 23, 2011
The attack on the navy base in Karachi is an indication of our weaknesses and shortcomings.

LAHORE: The attack on the navy base in Karachi is an indication of our weaknesses and shortcomings. What is going on? Are we incapable of defending our installations? Mere lip-service to fighting militancy will not do anymore — we need to undertake major operations against them and take all their leadership out. That is the only way forward for us because now it’s a do-or-die situation.
