It is good to know that finally the Pakistani government and its military authorities have decided to eliminate, as the army chief said, all terrorists from Pakistan.  Press reports also are referring to many of the cases where these Taliban soldiers are shaving their beard to disguise themselves in order to either flee or merged in a civilian crowd.  One wonders how the army personnel will find them to kill them to meet their objectives.  Also, this writer is curious to know when the Pakistani Army Chief refers to Taliban, is he also referring to other non-state actors like members of LeT and JuD etc.?  There are hundreds of militants groups in Pakistan with their training camps all over who are propping up future suicide bombers in Pakistan.  How is Pakistani army going to treat them and their on-going operations?  Pakistan might be thinking that these non-state organizations like LeT and JuD etc. will help them fight a religious and political war against India, but this writer has an opinion that the Pakistani establishments are operating on a wrong notion. They will never be successful in their mission.  India is a big country and killing a few Indians here and there is not going to wipe out India.  God forbid, if there is another scene like what happened in November 2008 in Mumbai, Pakistan is going to pay a very heavy price.  To avoid any untoward incident between India and Pakistan, it is prudent for the government in Islamabad and the military/ISI establishment to work towards forging amicable relationship instead of relying on the non-state actors like LeT and JuD to win a war against India.
