Army can not defeat extremism without govt and political parties support as there are so many religious group fully supporting them and provide them every possible facilities and resources in hidden, We eradicated taliban in 2009 full scale military operations for some time situation was good but with thw passage of time taliban again regaining presence in swat and bajurh agency that is why only army is going to be blamed for wasting resources and displacing locals which is to be seen once ongoing operation completes.

We are at war like situation for decades and that is because of misleading political decisions which had sow seeds of enmity,prejudice and retaliation
