I hear you, and I don’t doubt that civilian areas may have been affected, warzones are messy, and mistakes do happen. But here’s the real question: could all this have been avoided if there were a genuine, transparent mechanism to act on groups involved in terror activities regardless of which side of the border they operate on?
It’s not like Pakistan has gained anything from these groups either. Decades of internal instability and global isolation show they’re a long-term liability. The truth is, unless Pakistan truly sees these groups as a problem, rather than a strategic asset, nothing will change.
