Enrollment in Madrassas will only increase when educationists are killed and regular schools are exploded. Everything is fair in love and war. Its a war of Talibans against Pakistan. we should gather courage courage and stop justifying Killing Taliban. Remember when insurgents tried to take shelter in Khanae Kaaba they were not spared by the Saudi Government who killed every single insurgent with the help of French Women armed forces. Lets not fool ourselves and allow American forces to kill every single talib.
@ashar: "....Who is sure it is a Taliban menace?" . Quite right unless there is proof besides their own statement of corroborating the incident, no one should be blamed. Problem arises when the deed has been confirmed by the actors still some of their cocky patrons try to deny it.
It appears we need a big time operation in karachi to rid it of target killers , extortionists , gangs and also taliban. Karachi is neither the wild west nor is it a tribal community. We need hard working peaceful citizens not vermin who want to take us back to the stone age.
@Anwar Ahmad: Who is sure it is a Taliban menace?
Not only Law Enforcement Agencies but general public also need to fight against this Taliban menace spreading like wild fire in Karachi. If strict measures are not taken at this stage; in couple of months Schools in other localities will not be safe.
