Pakistan is on the radar of all Western powers who are watching all its moves with abated breadth due to many apprehensions on their mind and ready to act if situation goes out of control in this country. Moreover, people of Pakistan who are suffering daily due to terrorism have become restless now due to half-hearted approach of their military in fighting militancy and therefore wants its armed forces to defeat the TTP without further loss of time.
