Why did the Pakistan Army Chief Gen Raheel Sharif feel compelled to announce his unwillingness to accept service extension beyond November 2016? How will it impact the Army's ongoing anti-terror campaign? Is it good or bad for Pakistan's democracy and stability? Why are the Taliban terrorists attacking Pakistani students and teachers? Is this a new phenomenon? Or did it start in 2012 in Swat with the assassination attempt on Malala Yousufzai's life? Is the government response adequate? Does the entire society need to recognize the problem and act to protect education in Pakistan? Has the PPP government in Sindh given the elected local government the power and the resources it needs to govern the city of Karachi? Is the MQM justified in its protests on this issue? What will be the outcome of this tussle? What was the conversation with Pakistan foreign secretary Aizaz Chaudhry in Silicon Valley? Does it show that he and the foreign office understand what it will take achieve regional peace and security? Viewpoint From Overseas host Misbah Azam discusses these questions with panelists Ali H. Cemendtaur and Riaz Haq (www.riazhaq.com)
