Effects of terrorism

The biggest problem for Pakistan after 9/11 incident is the terrorism threat after this incident the eye of whole globe was on Pakistan and they largely blamed Pakistan for involvement in this terrorist activity. This part of world is considered to be involved in such activities throughout world. During the year 2009 Pakistan faced a lot of terrorist activities and pressure from the European countries they were against the military action in Swat by the Pakistan government. And nowadays there is threat by the militants as well as the American government is against the action of Pakistan military in Waziristan and the NETO forces a also stepped away from Afghanistan border this increased the tension of Pakistan government they increased their voice against this act by the NETO forces . In 2009 there is a sharp increase in the terrorist activities and a large number of innocent people were killed in these terrorist activities. The thinking of the General public toward these terrorist have changed and they are appreciating the military actions by the Government of Pakistan. This democratic Government of Pakistan has used every possible way to negotiate with such terrorist groups but they challenged government every time. Pakistani government is continuously claiming that they are compiling hard evidences of India’s and other nation’s involvement and interference in Baluchistan and FATA. Government spokesman revealed told that a huge quantity of Indian/United Nation arms and ammunition, medical equipment and medicines used by Taliban militants had been recovered from the restive district. Large number of militants have died in bomb attacks and raids carried out by insurgents as well as retaliatory actions by the country’s military and paramilitary agencies. Pakistani people are also taking part in such promotion's to tell the world that these few number of militants cannot destroy us and are not part of us. Pakistan is helping every country in the war against terrorism and facing many problems. The destructions caused a result of the war against terrorism is much more then the foreign aid provided to Pakistan to fight against these terrorists. Pakistan is a developing country and in continuing the war against such forces not only caused physical destruction but also the moral destruction of the foreign investors which in results of the collapse of Pakistani industries. The economic condition of the country is also greatly affected by the terrorism. And the governments have a pressure from foreign countries that the leadership of these terrorist groups is present in Pakistan. This question is many times answered by the government but the countries against Pakistan always say that the Pakistani government is providing shelter and is supporting such groups and also involved in such activities.
