‘Shutting down seminaries post-Pulwama attack may send wrong message’
2019-03-18
Sure, but not shutting them down at all sends an even wronger one. They are, after all, pretty exclusively in the business of creating Taliban cannon fodder.
[DAWN] "Shutting down madressahs in the aftermath of Pulwama is wrong timing. We should have done it anyway but our doing it now has India pointing fingers at us, saying that ’see Pakistain has had to take measures’ to prevent a repeat of the incident," said a retired general on Saturday.

Retired Lt Gen Tariq Waseem Ghazi, who also served as the defence secretary after his retirement from the army, was speaking at a programme on the future of the current stand-off between Pakistain and India at the Pakistain Institute of International Affairs.

"The trigger for the recent escalation between Pakistain and India is Pulwama, and Pulwama had nothing to do with us. It was nurtured and home-grown in India," he said.

"The present Indian government’s decision-making is done by their prime minister with the national security adviser. The nature of the Indian government is the nature of the deep state which functions through misinformation, sabotage, etc, to carry out their plans or game of getting an extra five years in power. So it is [linked] to political benefit," he added.
