What Munir has achieved with Trump is a return to normal, ironing out the post-Abbottabad crease. The White House picture gives us insight into how Pakistan survives, occasionally thrives and thinks.
1. There are activists with Leftist leanings who claim to work for ordinary people. Recent arrests of left leaning activists have raised some basic issues with regard to rights of the activists belonging with Leftist leanings. 2. Citizens like me, who are not attached to a particular political party, wish that welfare of people, and particularly of population below poverty line, should be sole objective (and focus) of all government policies and programmes. But what we often see is that public money to be spent on programmers for the poor is often siphoned off by bureaucracy and politicians through corrupt methods. If the activists raise voice against such corruption can they be accused of illegal acts and arrested? Of course, answer to such questions is not easy as it appears to be. 3. It is worth noting that although objective of all the Marxist political outfits, whether banned or not banned, is to work for welfare of the oppressed people, not all of them use peaceful means to carry on their activities. Further, it is also a fact that Marxist groups, activities of some of whom are being investigated, appear not to believe in democracy. They often indulge in violent political activities. Therefore question is this: why should they be allowed to do that? 4. In context of recent arrest of so-called Urban Naxals, we must debate role of political and religious organizations and groups who resort to violence and who are anti-democracy.

Adivasis are among those who have often picked up the tab for India’s “ development “. Recall the tenure of Bastar IGP S R P Kalluri to get a sense of how things are on the ground.
