'Crossfire'
The present government formed a new anti-crime elite force named Rapid Action Battalion (Rab) to root out terrorism. So far many most wanted criminals like 'Pichhi Hannan' have been killed in crossfire. We have to accept the truth that crime has declined. Because a panic of 'crossfire' grasped the criminals following killings of the topmost terrorists of the country.
But the question is whether the activities of Rab are tenable in the eye of law. The government should formulate a long term strategy for combating crime.
Rab is indeed a short term solution.
