Its been more than 3 weeks since we witnessed brutal Peshawar massacre and this PM is still calling meetings and talking, creating committees etc. When will we see some real action from this PM. Not a single death row Talibans or terrorists have been hanged under his administration's control. We have only witnessed executions from the military side. I am starting to doubt this PM's resolve. He is giving time to those groups to re-group and escape the assault. Where is the element of surprise? We have dumb people or accomplices running the country. The country should not go back to sleep. Let these rulers know that we will not compromise on the elimination of these terrorist groups living in our cities and towns.
All of these meetings are very comforting. Nothing eases the soul like consistent meetings between failed policy implementers.
