Planning and Foresight and Organization

[Shimatoree]

We know that the Fat Shopkeeper and his cronies are only interested in Punjab.

But the PTI has a govt: in KPK.

I would like to know why THYEY have been missing in terms of PLANNING and ORGANIZATION for the obvious Displacement of persons from N Waziristan.
It is true that the PML-N on purpose and by design DID NOT share the info about the start of this operation with KPK and left them sort of LURCHED into an emergency Knee-Jerk Reaction.

But Imran is supposed to be a great leaders surrounded by other well versed politicians of supposed repute
…educated and hopefully thinking types………….so once again I ask why did the Govt of KPK not FORESEE and PLAN for the up coming events………..

I want to KNOW that.

Good question, Shim. IK is a good leader, but seems to lack organisational qualities. Others should jump in where he's not at his best. PTI will learn, but God the process is a slow one.

The officials said that security forces were also consolidating the positions in and around Miramshah Bazaar.

The official sources also said that the ground offensive in Miramshah has started at 6 am and would continue.

The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) is yet to issue an official confirmation of casualties in the operation.

The military operation named 'Zarb-i-Azb' was initiated in the North Waziristan region in June. At least 430,000 people have fled the region into nearby areas of Pakistan as well as neighbouring Afghanistan, the biggest movement of refugees in Pakistan in years.

Security officials had claimed that over 200 local and foreign militants had been killed in the aerial bombings.

Earlier a ground assault was delayed due to the issues that cropped up during evacuation of internally displaced people (IDPs).
