There is no national consensus, even on issues of vital importance. Any issue is used as a political tool. We survive only because the majority mind their own business knowing nothing can be expected from the govt. National security is the basic duty of any govt and all politicians who act against nation's interest should be put away as enemies. Certain issues should be beyond politics.
The countries that have put away terrorists have full backing of all parties. Not only USA, China but also Middle East countries, Indonesia, Malaysia etc. Only those who lack cohesion are sitting ducks. Even Pakistan takes firmer & targeted actions!
It is time we acted in national interests. The days of innocence is gone!
