The propaganda of militant groups, long fueled by foreign backers, has collapsed as their narratives fail to win civilian support. Once trying to portray themselves as defenders of the people, these groups are now exposed for what they are — mercenaries serving anti-Pakistan agendas.
In Bajaur, local jirgas openly rejected their presence, with gatherings in Tora and Bajaur laying bare their isolation. With dwindling manpower, militants desperately seek new recruits, but communities have turned their backs.
Their only lifeline now is to attack Pakistan’s security forces and carry out violence inside the country to keep receiving payments from their handlers abroad.
Families of terrorism victims are united in their demand for the complete eradication of these groups, urging the government to finish the job once and for all. The public mood is clear: there is no place for foreign-funded militants in Pakistan’s future.
