PTI News, Updates and Discussion

[Xestan]

The title of this thread is misleading. Where did Imran Khan mention TTP?

Who's getting killed fighting the Security Forces?

 

[Forsvaret]

Who's getting killed fighting the Security Forces?

The people of Pakistan aka our own citizens.

 

[Xestan]

The people of Pakistan aka our own people.

Yes, Major Adnan Aslam Khan died fighting our own people in Bannu.

 

[313Ghazi]

I wholeheartedly disagree with him. The TTP and anyone who sympathizes with them or shelters or facilitates them is not "our people".

 

[Forsvaret]

Yes, Major Adnan Aslam Khan died fighting our own people in Bannu.

Likewise, untold number of our Pakistani citizens have died fighting our own security forces. And your point is?

 

[Forsvaret]

I wholeheartedly disagree with him. The TTP and anyone who sympathizes with them or shelters or facilitates them is not "our people".

That’s only your opinion, it doesn’t make it right.

 

[313Ghazi]

That’s only your opinion, it doesn’t make it right.

You'd have to apply logic rather than partisan fanboi thought patterns to see whether it is right or wrong.

An armed militia is attacking the state. It's attacking civilians, police, army. This not new, we have faced this for over 20 years. The only effective solution has been severe violence, the only language they understand.

So the terrorist killing our people are our own people? What kinda self-loathing logic is that?

Those militants would simply escape to Afghanistan and regroup as they have done so many times in the past. The permanent solution to this conflict is a political one not military:

Former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan, currently incarcerated in Adiala Jail, emphasized the crucial need for Pakistan to strengthen ties with Afghanistan to successfully combat the Pakistani Taliban (TTP).

In a conversation with journalists in Adiala Jail, on Friday, Khan stressed that cooperation with Afghanistan is vital in the fight against terrorism in Pakistan.

Khan highlighted the futility of operations against the TTP without Afghan support, as militants would simply escape across the border.

So the terrorist killing our people are our own people?

Yes, if those terrorists are citizens of Pakistan, they are in fact our own people.

Then how's it bad killing them?

You just performed an own goal. IK makes it like it's a bad thing killing TTP terrorists, some of whom happen to have Pakistani citizenship. Lately, Afghans are majority in TTP ranks.

 

[Areesh]

I would have to give it to Imran Khan

I always change my opinion about something if I find myself wrong

This guy is continously wrong about TTP but his opinion hasn't changed one bit about them. This is the level of constitency you need if you want to destroy yourself

 

[Forsvaret]

Then how's it bad killing them?

You kill them, they escape to another country, regroup and reemerge some time later. This cycle of violence continues unabated in the absence of a permanent political solution to the conflict.

This guy is continously wrong about TTP but his opinion hasn't changed one bit about them.

Again, this is your own opinion and Imran Khan’s disagree with that.

 

[Areesh]

Again, this is your own opinion and Imran Khan’s disagree with that.

This is not my opinion. This is a reality that your leader doesn't want to acknowledge and won't acknowledge ever since he considers himself to be "aqal e kul"

 

[Forsvaret]

This is a reality that your leader doesn't want to acknowledge and won't acknowledge…

Here is the harsh reality Imran Khan acknowledges:

You kill them, they escape to another country, regroup and reemerge some time later. This cycle of violence continues unabated in the absence of a permanent political solution to the conflict.

Again, this is your own opinion and Imran Khan’s disagree with that.

Point about them escaping or regrouping is a totally difference discussion.

The point here is, why does Imran Khan makes fighting and killing TTP terrorists sound like such a bad thing? Why does he want people to empathize with terrorists by calling them 'Our people'.

A common murderer is also 'our people', if he's hanged for it, would you call it 'killing own people'?
