National Security:

Prime Minister Imran Khan held a meeting with the COAS Gen. Qamar Bajwa and DG ISI Gen. Faiz Hameed and discussed matters of National Security with them. Most probably the National Security involved could be that of an imminent false flag operation which India could stupidly launch against Pakistan to divert the international attention from the colossal  human rights violations it is committing in Kashmir and coalesce and unite various agitating segments of the Indian society by posing an external threat to them. Whatever the counter measures the govt. may have considered to take, I think the mere hollering of “striking back with full might” and “teaching India a lesson for life” are not enough. We must assume that any conflagration, even of a minor nature, could escalate into an ultimate full fledged war with no holds barred. We must, therefore, prepare the nation for the ultimate.  Not even decimal one percent of us know how to protect an! d safeguard ourselves against the “Heat, Shock and Radiation” waves of an atomic blast. There are no underground atomic shelters with food, water and other essentials of life stored there. It would not only be a case of great negligence on the part of the govt. but also that of being highly callous and murderous to offer the masses as canon fodder by not educating, training and rehearsing them  in such life saving drills and practices.

 Needless to say that the hidden implications of any such nationwide programme shall make our adversaries think ten times before taking any such silly adventure.
