It is time the democratic government respected the wishes of the public and distanced itself from this shameful war.
KARACHI: This is apropos the article by Rustam Shah Mohmand “The seeds of insurgency” (March 24). It is great to see The Express Tribune put in print the words of someone who actually knows something about the tribal areas. We do not want martial law in the settled areas of the country and I am sure the tribal people also would not want it on their soil.
The Pakistani public, both of the settled areas and the tribal areas, is united in its opposition to the so-called ‘war on terror’. It is time the democratic government respected the wishes of the public and distanced itself from this shameful war.
