Pakistan has strategic significance Since 1947 we were inclined towards

USA and West Pakistan became victim of terrorism

during 60’s and intensified during 1971

USSR, one of the super powers prior to 1980

RISE OF AL-QAIDA

After 1992, when Red Army quit, civil war started in Afghanistan

Mullah Omer rose and ruled Afghanistan and imposed Islamic law

In 1993, name of Al-Qaida appeared with purpose of assisting aggrieved Muslims

Headed by Osama Bin Laden USA openly opposed Al-

Qaida and threatened Afghanistan

Mullah Omer rejected the American demands, being unjustified

Al-Qaida responded tit for tat to USA

MUSHARRAF ERA

General Musharraf toppled a democratic government and became head of the state in 1999

Voiced for Enlightened Modernization

Announced full support to USA after 9/11

Apparently made 180 turn from previous policies about Taliban

The Gorilla war was taken inside Pakistan by so called Taliban and caused terrorism due to Musharraf policies

The deteriorating law and order situation became worsened due to interference by CIA/KGB and RAW etc

US INVASION

2001, Coalition forces led by USA invaded Afghanistan

Turkey was the only Islamic country among the coalition nations

Many religious groups stood against the invasion

Mujahidin groups migrated to Afghanistan from all over the world

Mullah Omer and Osama fled to far mountainous region and fueled Gorilla war

PPP THIRD TERM

2008 saw departure of Musharraf and third term of PPP in the Government

Desire for command and poor economic situation forced PPP Govt to continue Musharraf policies

Above situation coupled with interference by our enemies intensified and spread terrorism and the whole Pakistan became the victim

CONCLUSION

War on Terror has probably benefited very few but Pakistan lost thousand of lives (military/civil)

Our economy suffered by billions The so called “Taliban” inflicted

bad name to our beloved religion, Islam

Law and order situation became worst and despite appreciation about geostrategic location, Pakistan went in isolation
