Sir: The entire nation is happy that for the first time in the history of Pakistan as concrete efforts were made and action was taken to root out the menace of religious extremism and terrorism in the country, which were a hindrance to its potential of becoming a Muslim welfare state. As terrorism is deeply linked with religious extremism, it is imperative to eliminate its breeding nurseries and ban those political parties that are using Islam to achieve power. Those political parties having militant wings should also be asked to dismantle such wings in the shortest possible time otherwise they should be banned. The majority of people in Pakistan are suffering for the last three decades due to these issues prevalent in the country and politics is now a most profitable business for those who have the money to multiply their wealth. I hope the government will not disappoint all those who love Pakistan and want it be a great country ENGR S T HUSSAIN Via Email
