A Dissident Note on Civil Military Clashes in Tribal Areas


                                                       

A Dissident Note:
By: Ali Zaman
In my humble opinion, as student of Defense & Strategic studies and without mentioning any single event, in my holistic analysis the Rawalpindi's approach occasionally flames the small fire; I am using ‘Rawalpindi's approach’ as a metaphor of applying militaristic solution to every political problem. It can be happen due to influence of Rawalpindi over strategic policy makeup or it is the lack of ‘political will’ that provides space for military maneuverability to any of problem with political nature. It can not just happen by placing civilian rule over security matters but the role of department of Defense & Strategic Studies and International Relations is important to come up with serious thought provoking solutions and analysis, including serious seminars with collaboration of security institutions in order to achieve broader consensus. Here we must admit that the research output of these institutions is also nil. As a student of Defense & Strategic Studies from one of the prestigious university of Pakistan I am totally blank about the formation of strategic policies both at institutional and at national level. What are the ingredients of policy goals both at strategic and tactical level and its relation to broader political canvas? The state is confronting with non traditional security challenges and there is reason behind it, and the holistic policy would be the policy of not flaming political resentments.


It is the role of insightful political leadership to show political understanding to political problems because holistically the people of formerly Federally Administrative Tribal Area (Ex-FATA) were ruled by the colonized law since the inception of state. It is quite essential to grasp the exact nature of grievances and cosmetic political surgery is not the solution any more. Only a leader with wit, political chauvinism and insightful can steer from turbulent times and history is full of such examples. The role of political governments is not just to manage economics. While our PM who considers himself as entrepreneur of cancer hospital came to know about people miseries yesterday through his visit to Distict Sarghodha hospital. A Prime Minister (PM) disconnected with people is not a leader at all as people are not just emotion-less citizens living under democratic system, come out of your charm of reality. Cancer is not just single dimension, yesterday people showed you courage and determination and that courage and determination was not just meant against corrupt political class but against inadequate and colonized structure of government and state. Democratic system works but leader emerges; is Pakistan really present in 21st century (aware with modern realities of modern state) or hanging in colonized mentality. Here I must admit that Bhutto was the man of caliber.

  1. Dread and doubt are two fundamental apparatuses that subjugate the country mental and social advancement. We feed on dread and cover our deficiencies by putting faults to insightful fear inspired notions. Countries can't proceed with like this. At the point when there is so much doubt and terrible observations, country dependably battle to discover appropriate arrangements. We utilized power and results are ghastly in past. We should be strategic and wise in our activity. If there are a few reservations, political government approaches to turn away the circumstance. Sadly, we have indifferent government that has neglected to facilitate the strain. Armed force is made helpless in such manner. The ineptitude and carelessness of such government is dependably a revile to country. The sooner it will end, the prior we see some positive thoughts for nation
