Pakistan: Out of Control

Internal situation in Pakistan is getting out of control. This can be gauged by the fact that it couldn't even save its own state home minister. It's shocking news that provincial Home Minister of Pakistani Punjab Shuja Khanzada was killed in a bomb blast in his very home. Two suicide bombers exploded themselves at the patriarchal residence of Pakistani Provincial Home Minister Shuja Khanzada in Attock district on Sunday in which 15 people including Khanzada were killed. Khanzada was known as a strong opponent of Taliban. Pak officials said that 15 people including Khanzada (71) and a DSP were assassinated in a suicide bomb attack at his political office in his patriarchal village Shadi Khan. The explosion was so powerful that 15 people were killed and many more were injured. Khanzada was a retired colonel and was holding a Jirga (meeting) at his farmhouse at Shadi Khan, almost hundred kilometers away from Islamabad, attackers succeeded in entering his house and exploded the bomb. Deputy Commissioner of Police Shaukat Shah was also among the deceased. It can easily be made out that how unmanageable the internal situation of Pakistan is?  Nobody cares for civil administration. In Pakistan, army and ISI are on one side and these Jehadi organization on the other, that really matters.  Presently these are the real powers in Pakistan. Pakistan is incessantly firing on LoC in J&K. Pakistan has crossed the J&K LoC 35 times in the month of August alone.  Defence spokesperson Colonel Manish Mehta told that Pak army is attacking with mortars at advance Indian posts and nearby villages in sector 5 of Punch district since Monday morning. Indian Army is also responding.  Even the funeral of the deceased couldn't take place due to this incessant firing from across the border. Many a people have started migrating from the border villages due to incessant firing. Indian Army has taken strict attitude over Pak firing. India and Pakistan NSA propose having peace talks. In such a situation where neither the internal situation of Pakistan nor the Pakistan Army is under control, what is the use of having dialogues with Pakistani civil and political group?  These talks should be cancelled and no dialogues with Pakistan be held until it stops its nefarious adventure. What can Pakistan ultimately give to India? Whenever there is dialogue with Pakistani Government and Army, it is known that these non-state actors spoil the broth. Are these non-state actors ultimately your kids? Don't they attack from your territory?  Whenever India extends the friendship hand towards Pakistan, it only get 26/11 or Gurdaspur in return. At present, we should avoid dialogue with Pakistan. Let the situation be normalise, before we think of a dialogue. At present Pakistan is out of control.
