Pakistan Hangs terrorists: May be Counter Productive

The news emanating from Pakistan is not good. After the wanton attack on the Army Public School by the Pakistan Taliban which led to 132 children being killed, the Pak army has acted to avenge the killings of children. The Army Public School had wards mostly from army personnel as such the Pakistan army felt the greater pain. a reaction was expected and it has come like a coiled spring. To start with 6 terrorists have been hanged within hours of the massacre of children. Pakistan had enforced a moratorium on hangings since 2008, when Asif Zardari was president. This is now set aside and a start is made with 6 hardened terrorists hanged. This is just the beginning and general Rahil the Chief of the Army has urged the Prime Minister Sharif to immediately hang 350 terrorists within 48 hours, who are on death row. The pain of the Pakistan army is understood as so many officers and soldiers have lost children ( shot to death). But again these hangings if carried out en masse and 400 are hanged may have a whiplash from the terror groups who will now seek further revenge for these hangings. its a no-win situation and the blame is on the Pakistan establishment that nurtured these terror groups and now the proteges haave turned against their mentor.
