Pakistan’s New Multidimensional Strategy Against Militancy

The Diplomat  

Amid a tense financial and political situation in the country, Pakistan has decided to launch an “all-out comprehensive operation” to rid the country of terrorism. The NSC attributed the recent spate of terrorism in Pakistan to the “thoughtless policy” adopted by the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf government toward the TTP after the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan in August 2021. In addition, Pakistan’s approach at the time was based on the flawed expectation that the Afghan Taliban would hand over the TTP leadership to Pakistan and shut down the group’s sanctuaries in Afghanistan. Promising to follow a “zero-tolerance policy against militants and their facilitators,” the army chief suggested a multidimensional strategy based on the cooperation of security forces, the legal community, civil society, politicians, social workers, bureaucracy, diplomats, and the media in deterring and neutralizing militant groups. He later reiterated: “We’ll have to hit them because we cannot tolerate this situation for long.” In his recent conversation with parliamentarians, the army chief emphasized the importance of elected representatives determining the country’s destiny.
