DUBAI: This is with reference to Farrukh Khan Pitafi’s article of January 3 titled “The Taliban’s pound of flesh”.
The reality is that much of the state’s policy is dictated by security concerns, exploited by the defence industry promoting religious extremism funded by obscurantist mindsets pushing their regional agenda. Basically, we have made so many compromises that it has now become part of our fabric and it’s difficult to differentiate between fact and fiction. Well said sir, please keep writing.
