When the agencies do their job: We are being oppressed by the government, the government is evil, enforced disappearances, military presence, state sponsored genocide. Anything the government does, is seen as evil.
When the agencies decide not to do their job: We are being left to the wolves, state sponsored terrorism conspiracy, is our blood worth less? Why does it happen here but not in Lahore? Dolllarr games.
It's a lose-lose either way in the eyes of the people. I think going with the option where the state comes out on top is the right option.
Option 1.
If you carefully lost all the demands of PTM, NDS, ANP types over the last few years, they go like this
*STET must remove checkpoints
*STET must not allow army to do operations police must be in control
*STET must not innocent ghairatmand locals
Then the locals do terrorism
And the PTM types declare
*STET allows terrorists to roam freely
*STET allow police to be attacked
It's the VICTIM MENTALITY being peddled by PTM, ANP, NDS, Khattaks Dawars etc
If they turned to their own people and said GHQ, politicians have made mistakes and we need to challenge that BUT our locals pashtuns are often scum bags of the first order and have been violent terrorists for years then everyone could work together to fix the problem and offer solutions
The problem is PTM, NDS, ANP peddle a VICTIM MENTALITY,
Declaring Waziristnanis as Angels, and saints and blaming Punjab, and STET for everything and anything completely giving carte blanch to locals for any terrorism, violence or backwards coming from them
The terrorists and TTP just take advantage of the propaganda of the PTM, liberals, NDS etc
And we have to stop
We have to challenge it
