A Swati Doctor Interviewed about the War in Swat
A few members of the Peoples Resistance group visited Banares Colony in Karachi, Pakistan and interviewed an IDP refugee Doctor from Swat who shares his thoughts.
I would also like to quote a short section from the email by Abira Ashfaq which had accompanied this video
It seems like one can always accuse people who are opposed to the operation on humanitarian, human rights, and political grounds that we are twisting the words of the interviewees to suit our viewpoint – but never before have I met so many Swatis who were unanimous in the opinion that something has gone/or was always awfully wrong with this military operation – that it has caused immeasurable human suffering – that there are other powerful interests at play -that people have not been allowed safe passage and have had to resort to mountainous and unfriendly terrain and escaped in horrific conditions – almost everyone says that civilians are being targeted and never (purposefully) the Taliban – that they have seen burning bodies of these civilians – and the next day ISPR will report that a taliban commander and several militants were killed. That we are taking ISPR reports in DAWN as authentic is indicative of the lack of media critique and questioning in our state. Understandably there is a lot of outrage in the IDP community against the operation.

The Swati Taliban need to be exterminated. Those in love with Taliban can ask them to move to Punjab, where Taliban lovers continue to reside. We Pakhtuns are sick of the Taliban psychos and want them eliminated.

It seemed to me that the lady interviewing was a bit too desperately searching for criticism of this military operation. (”Iska to ye matlab huwa ke ye jang ghalat hai na?”)
But I completely agree that ISPR should not be our only source of information.

hahahahah!
@Ali!
you remind me a joke.
once a man fallen down from tree.he visited the doctor. doctor asked what happened. he said i climbed over a tree and got dizzy then i fell down from the tree.
doctor gave the medicine for dizziness and injury.
few days later he again came to the doctor. doctor asked what happened now.he said i climbed to the tree,got dizzy and fell down.
doctor examined the patient and found there is some lack of cordination in his nervous system. so he gave the tablets to correct it.
few days later he came again with the same story.this time doctor examined the eyes and found that there is some error of refraction so he gave spec to correct it.
few days later again the same patient came with the same story.doctor stood up and went to the store and hand over some thing….”what is this” asked patient.
“yeh keerhay mar dawa hay… behn kay lo—y!!!in ki battiyan bana aur apni g–d men lay lay.

dr.jawwad khan:
“i wish if i could lock you permanantly in the cage.”
Dr. Jawwad, you are a perfect example of Taliban ideology.
See guys this is the problem with the Taliban and their brainless supporters: IF YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO DO SOMETHING BY LOGIC DO IT BY FORCE or IF YOU ARE FAIL IN A DEBATE CRUSH THE OPPONENT BY FORCE[using the alms paid by U_S].

dr. jawwad khan:
“molana abdul aziz sacrificed his mother,son and brother”
Yes you are very true. He sacrificed his mother, son and brother and saved his own life for himself, the extreme of selfishness. Check this out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Z4Ss7OdgdM&feature=related Another video for discussion….

” “This is because this guy is seeing the talibas face in his part of the world. He dont know about talibs deeds in afghanistan.
I wonder why people classified Talibans as Pakistani or Sawati or Punjabi etc etc. Talibans are just Talibans”
=MORON=
”
I am with you on this stand.

@Dr Jawwad Khan: watch the video again, the girl has to be supported by the man who was holding down her arms. She DID NOT RUN into the house.
