Today it has become indispensable to avoid or ignore it lest it would distort the social, political and economic structure of Pakistan. For the purpose it necessary to know and discuss the core reasons behind this social today this social menace has become complicated and hazardous enough to disturb the whole globe in a single event as in the case of September 9 terrorist attack on Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York City.The meaning and interpretation of terrorism after this event has entirely been changed however certain old reasons of terrorism do persist specially in Pakistan.
Social, Economic, Political, Religious, Ethnic, Regional and Lingual clashes and inequalities bring groups into direct and alarming confrontations. Religious Fanaticism and Exploitation:A famous analyst Lewis Fry Richardson stated in his analysis about religion “The one social factor that does have some detectable correlation with war is religion.”Religious zealotry and fanaticism do play its role in terrorism especially in PakistanEffects of Terrorism in Pakistan:Terrorists used modern technology effectively. The automatic weapons and electrically bursting explosives encouraged terrorists to act violently while providing them with an easier way of attacking. Suicide Bombing has made it even more dangerous and alarming.Pakistan has been so much indulged in “The War against Terrorism” that there is no way to find out as far as quitting this serious situation is concerned.
She has to bear the brunt of this unprovoked situation in the shape of organized violence, murders, bomb blasts, rapes, corruption, torture and brutality.This would further aggravate Pessimism, mistrust, hostility and cynicism and would exasperate ethnicity, sectarianism, tribal, clan and biradari-based politics. These effects of Terrorism on Pakistan will further devastate the economic stability and the peace and tranquility would probably vanish from Pakistan. Suggestions to Mitigate Terrorism in Pakistan:Collective effervescence is need of the hour.
Vast areas of the country are beyond the pale of the law. This deplorable and alarming situation demands serious and sincere consideration and some instant solution. We have to mitigate the above mentioned reasons of terrorism in Pakistan on solid footings and deal insurgent and mutinous elements of society with iron fist, collective vigilance, effective measures, proper and unshakeable law, and measured steps and with proper litigation. And this is only possible when the implementation and execution of law, indiscriminate accountability of the corrupt, nationalism and brotherhood, peace tolerance, justice and equality, education and awareness, writ of the government and rule of the law would prevail in our society.A Growing Problem in the Unstable WorldTerrorism is a growing problem in this unstable world. A simple act of terrorism can cause tensions to break between two countries, as seen with Israel and Palestine's conflicts due to religious beliefs and territory disputes.
There are many ways to combat terrorism. First, would be an international team that is always on call to respond to terrorist threats, and retrieve hostages with minimal loss of life. The second is gun control, which would limit the weapons accessed by potential terrorists. The last thing is to recognize terrorist organizations before they have a chance to attack. terrorism in pastTerrorism has been around since the days of ancient Egypt.
the and for the past one hundred and twenty years terrorists have had new weapons of mass destruction, such as bombs. Many political figures in the past were assassinated: King Tut in Egypt, who was poisoned and hit in the back of the head by a political rival, the members of the Roman Senate and Brutus, his best friend, killed Caesar.But terrorism in revealing itself in new forms in this modern world, such as massacres, hijackings, attacks on U.S troops, and hostage taking.Thorough analysis of the causes of terrorism and its ineffaceable impacts indicate that in Pakistan this phenomenon has not come to fore overnight.
It has taken decades to flourish and involves many factors. Since terrorism is a multifaceted, the solution has to be multi-pronged. In view of the root causes described in above paragraphs, the possible remedies could include:• To begin with, a national commission needs to be set up, which identifies the fault lines and the root causes of the rise of extremism in Pakistan taking into consideration the post-Nine-Eleven developments.• It should also take up the question of reforming the madrassas. The heads of all the major religious groups should be contacted and engaged to explore short-term and long-term solutions.
• Our universities and research institutes should take up the intellectual task of re-interpreting the Islamic injunctions in the light of modern knowledge and 21st century challenges (with emphasis on social justice).• The government must improve its performance. Bad governance and corruption have lowered its credibility and clout,• Parliament must debate Pakistan’s present relationship with the US, with particular reference to the American war in Afghanistan and operations in Pakistan.• Our government should make efforts to develop sector. Without any doubt, these efforts will play a crucial role not only in providing employment to the millions of people but will also eliminate poverty in the country.• Pakistan’s government should particularly emphasise the need of technical education by promoting it.
In this respect, more institutes should be opened in order to promote technical education.• Nonetheless, for their on global and regional interests, US-led western allies must not only increase the military and economic aid of Pakistan but also provide direct market access to Pak products on zero rate duty to help stabilise the country’s bleak economy in the wake of the war against terror.• US should help in resolving the Kashmir dispute to deal with the problem of militancy in the region.• In order to fight terrorism, Pakistan’s media should play a key role. It must point out the criminal activities of the militants like hostage-taking, killing of the innocent people? torching the government buildings including girl schools and car-snatching.
It should also indicate that Islam is a religion of peace and does not allow suicide attacks.• As Pakistan is already facing various crises of grave nature in wake of terrorism, so our politicians must stop manipulating the same for their own self-interests. By setting aside their differences and by showing power of tolerance, both our rulers and opposition parties need to act upon a policy of national reconciliation to cope with the problem of terrorism and to stand before external pressure.• Finally, our politicians, general masses and security forces must show a strong sense of unity to fight terrorism,Conclusion To conclude, Pakistan is a peace loving nation and playing its important role in combating terror. Recognition of efforts to fight menace of terrorism and sacrifices rendered thereof are testimony to the commitment and resolve to bring peace in the region. .
Pakistan is a responsible nation; fully capable of defending its territorial integrity. Pakistan has singularly committed large forces to combat menace of terrorism more than any other country..
