Last Word | 8 years ago | Reply This operation was started too late after 50000 innocent people had already lost their lives in terrorism related incidents. Despite tall claims terrorists still strike at will as their sleeper cells have not been targeted in cities, towns and villages. Moreover, only Taliban and its allies were targeted but other terrorists groups were spared who remain a potential threat in most parts of the country. Until Pakistan practices zero tolerance to all forms of terrorism, peace can never return in the country.
