The statement of Defence Minister that since Kabul has failed to rein in terrorists possibility of Pakistan going after them in Afghanistan cannot be ruled out altogether though he cannot give the time frame when is this going to happen. There is no gainsaying the fact that Pakistan has been tolerating the inaction on the part of Afghanistan rulers against the terrorists operating against Pakistan from Afghan soil since long but as they say enough is enough Pakistan’ s patience is now wearing thin. It is about time stringent type of strike is made against the terrorists present inside Afghanistan. The earlier the better as Pakistan simply cannot afford spilling of more blood of its valiant soldiers.
POST SCRIPT
Isn’t it a fact that, lately, the world has been passing through an era of decadence in every walk of life.
Almost every field of life shows decline whether it is science, arts, politics or sports . Scientists like Einstein have stopped coming to this world. Hockey players like Diyan Chand, footballers like Maradona, squash players like Hasham Khan and Cricketers like Donald Bradman are a rare commodity these days. In the music world one doesn’t find any more crooners like Frank Sinatra, Mohammad Rafi, Noor Jehan, Lata and Ustad Bare Ghulam Ali Khan. Music Directors like Naushad Ali and Khurshud Anwar are difficult to find today. In the world of celluloid actors like Dilip Kumar are a rare commodity. Statesmen like Roosevelt, Abraham Lincoln Churchill Marshal Tito , Chou en Lai and Mandela are in short supply. One doesn’t come across poets of the calibre of Ghalib, Iqbal and Faiz these days.
