Elusive peace

Newspaper headlines scream that Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has promised to take action against the perpetrators of the attack on Pathankot airbase.

Newspaper headlines scream that Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has promised to take action against the perpetrators of the attack on Pathankot airbase. This is silly, considering the attackers were on a suicide mission. Dubbed as terrorists by India, they are seen as “martyrs” in Pakistan. Since this is the template for jihadi attacks across the world, what can Mr Sharif and the Pakistan Army do in this matter What did they do to punish the perpetrators of the 26/11 attacks on Mumbai The attack in Pathankot reiterates the fact that it is futile pursuing peace with Pakistan.
