Preventive policing emboldening militants
[DAWN] PESHAWAR: "A single death is a tragedy; a million deaths is only a statistic," said former Soviet Union leader Joseph Stalin when a senior officer briefed him about famine in Ukraine.Stalin’s words are correct in the context of prevailing scenario in Pakistain. Our society is currently passing through the same situation. The reason is that multitude of deaths by militancy in the decade has left us so senseless that we have lost the count and more deaths in terrorist acts only add up to the figure. Bodies are buried; the government immediately comes up with announcements of compensation for the victims’ heirs, and the people heave a sigh of relief until another mishap occurs.
