Elimination of militant sanctuaries a must to keep schools safe
[Dawn] The problem of destruction of schools in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa... formerly NWFP, still Terrorism Central... cannot be resolved without the elimination of the bad turbans' safe havens in the adjoining Federally Administered Tribal Areas, experts have said. The provincial civil administration appears to be helpless in nabbing and putting the culprits to trial by the courts because criminals remain unscathed and police without any success in making headway in any case so far, the people belonging to different fields of life told Dawn on Monday. "They (terrorists) are trying to push Pakistain back to the Stone Age as they are attacking our future generation, wanting to keep our children uneducated," said Awami National Party MNA Bushra Gohar. She said attacks on school buildings could not be stopped unless the bad turbans' hideouts in Fata were eliminated. "Unless a decisive action is taken against their factories in Fata, Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa will continue to experience the pressure," she said. Posted by: Fred 2013-02-27 |
