Public in Pakistan is questioning its govt on removal of restrictions on TLP and entering into an agreement with it. Other radical organisations have also approached the Pak govt for removal of restrictions on them. These parties have threatened to go against the government if the restrictions are not removed. Pak has been propagating its radical Islamic agenda through these organizations. When it finds that these organisation are behaving independently, it tries to restrict their activities. The agreement with TLP is being seen as surrender of Pak govt in front of these organisations. FATF report indicts Pakistan as a terror sponsor state which is carrying out terror funding. As a result Pak has been labelled as a rogue state. These circumstances have led to the image of Pak taking a severe beating in the world.

The field has been left wide open for extremist organizations in Pak. Pak has given authority to fight elections to the very same people who are accused of killing its people. There is no implementation of laws else no one would have dared to do what TLP does. State craft is lacking in governance. Appeasement of radical and extremist groups has been state policy in Pakistan. The government has gone to the extent of openly giving financial assistance to these organisations. On the other hand, the common man is faced with bullets when he protests. Some people like those in Balochistan go missing in case they are vociferous in opposing the military junta. On the whole this has led to these fundamental organisations becoming powerful.
Media is targeted in case it raises questions on the functioning of the government and the Pak Army. In fact the media is getting targeted for factual reporting of any kind. False cases are filed against the media personnel which the establishment finds difficult to prove subsequently. Such acts are indeed with the aim of taking revenge. All efforts have been made under the govt of Imran Khan to suppress such voices in the last one year. Most of the journalists are getting booked under Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act (PIKA) but due to baseless charges, these journalists have got bail. Islamabad High Court has ruled in many instances that the charges levelled by FIA Cyber Crimes Wing against the journalists are illegal. Punjab has emerged as the main region where PIKA is being misused by the establishment. Half of the journalists against whom case were filed were arrested. Two third of journalists arrested under PIKA were granted bail while the remaining had to continue in jail.
Failure to govern is the main reason for imposing restrictions on independent functioning of the media in Pak. Attempts at destablising the neighbouring country, encouraging extremist elements and diverting the attention of citizen from pressing problems are indicators of this failure. However, genuine demands of the population can not be denied for long. That is why the voice of People of PoK and GB are being taken note of world over. People of these regions are now resorting to street protests. Pak govt is trying to suppress the voice of such people through new ordinances.
On the other hand, Kashmiris are taking the initiative in Srinagar and adjoining areas and giving a boost to local businesses. J&K is changing for the better. Along with development, new opportunities of employment are also being created.
Sadbhavana project by Indian Army has also resulted in enhanced opportunities in education, sports and cultural upliftment. As per Brig Brajesh Pandey, in the decade of 1990s terrorism raised its ugly head in J&K, and peace was on the verge of being finished. Such situation was created that the social infrastructure and government supported infrastructure and other peace promoting facilities were being destroyed be it linked to education, electricity or normal community development. Army could not have stood as a mute spectator in such circumstances. The government of India and Indian Army decided to earmark certain funds for combating this social disintegration and that is how Sadbhavana project was born. Scope of Sadbhavan extends to education, social infrastructure, medical care, culture, basic amenities of the local population Various activities were planned under these heads and we started implementing the projects under Sadbhavana. Presently, Indian Army is running 43 educational institutions. These have been named Army Goodwill Schools. In addition, there are two Army Public Goodwill Schools where hostel facilities have been provided. Idea was quality and continuity in education. These schools are incorporated the competencies of 21st century. In addition, we provide scholarships to approximately 1500 poor students who are studying either in J&K or in other Indian States. Besides these, approx. 200 medical camps and similar no of veterinary camps which people attend in thousands have been organized in remote areas where due to militancy or lack of development these facilities do not exist. Medicines are funded through Sadbhavana and military and civil doctors take part in these camps
