Despite that, they were offering dialog themselves. It is pretty much a sign they know how to handle the government of Pakistan . They also know their ideology is deep entrenched in the society and a government that is formed with right wing vote will be very lenient to them and others can be labeled kaafir. And the state who is fighting them today supported it, rather winded it once . So the situation that arise here is very different, maybe the militants have supporters in the army and isi as well. In that case even this current much popularized operation will be conducted very carefully.
