Timely arrest of Muhamad Iqbal, a Hizbul Mujahideen terrorist in Degwar Trewan of Poonch district is no great consolation as far as security arrangements for the forthcoming elections are concerned. It is the avowed policy of the leadership of terrorist organizations in Pakistan to do all they can to disrupt democratic process in our country and the State. Elections and democratic process make militant leadership irrelevant and they find themselves totally isolated. They have been making such disruptive attempts for quite some time but without any success. They are fully aware that security forces along the LoC and the State police all are vigilant and will not allow the enemy have its will. While lauding the joint operation of the army and the police in this case, we are confident that their vigilant eye will not allow a single infiltrator go unpunished. Pakistani actors on the scene should bear in mind that despite their efforts, democracy in our State has dug its roots deep and has become the culture of the people.
