So what significance does this event has? Well here are a few points to think about
- It shows the ability of the militants to strike (once again) at the heart of the state.
- The event proves that militants are still stronger and powerful and have the ability to striker at a location of their choosing.
- It demonstrates the fact the militancy is not just limited to FATA, Pakhtonkhaw, or Southern Punjab but is spread over the whole Pakistan.
- The ongoing military operations might have been successful, but in a bigger context, they may have caused an even rapid increase in militancy and violence.
- It also shows the shallowness of claims by the Government of successes in eliminating terrorism.
- Most importantly, it shows that elements within the establishment are sympathetic to the cause and actions of militants. After all, such a big scale operation near the capital city and successful escape and vanishing of the perpetrators could not have been accomplished without help from locals as well as others.
