Militancy and extremism are putting the streets of Pakistan in danger. The threat needs urgent and decisive response. Some of our great leaders have been lost to extremists in this fight but these savages cannot be allowed to attack Pakistan and disrupt our way of life any further. These are men that murder innocent women and children in cold blood. Pakistan Army decided to carry out the Operation Rahe-e-Nijat (Good Riddance) to cleanse the Land of the Pure from the pollution of these terror elements. The nation is fully behind the Pakistan Army and is confident that it is capable of eliminating the threat of militancy from the troubled areas and shall do so with full force. -ERAJ DANISH, Islamabad, November 25.
