It is heartrending to know about the civilian casualties this operation has caused. The same government who has no reservations about collateral damage in its operation in North Waziristan obviously lost its patience after showing so much restraint for the past week. I also think that the government alone should not be blamed. If the maulana was really the upholder of all things right and moral he wouldn’t have used all these innocents as human shields He would have encouraged them to leave. Students coming out alive are saying they were kept against their will.. All this was at the cost of what? People dead..Ghazi brothers' images tarnished. In the end it has made the army look worse and it is provoking backlash by the extremist forces in the country.
