Do you think the Pakistan government is taking enough action against terrorism? Do you think the release of Hafiz Saeed was justified?

Manjari Shivahare. The Pakistan government has won a tenuous victory and is unsure of its footing in the country. It relies heavily on the backing and support of armed militants to counter the power of the army. In this scenario, despite the vows it makes to the US and other countries about taking strong steps to counter terrorism, it is bound by the limitations of its vote bank. These armed and powerful bands dictate policy and have secured the release of Hafiz Saeed. India is justified in expressing outrage against his release but it will have to assert its own independence from terrorism by making a public display of punishing Kasab. This general election has given the India the mandate for a secular and progressive government and the Indian government must prove that it will not be dictated to by its neighbours or any other foreign power.
