Stated below are the 14 actual points of the Swat peace deal. I couldnt find them on any news site, nor did i ever see then in any Pakistani or International media except NewsOne. Lets examine the points:
2. Security forces will gradually withdraw from the region.
3. The government and the Taliban would exchange prisoners.
4. Militants would recognize the writ of the government and cooperate with security forces.
5. Taliban would halt attacks on barber and music shops.
6. Ban on display of weapons by militants in public.
7. Taliban would lay down heavy weapons.
8. Taliban would close down training camps.
9. Taliban would denounce suicide attacks.
10. A ban would be placed on raising private militias.
11. Taliban will cooperate with the government to vaccinate children against diseases like polio.
12. Fazlullah’s madrassa, the Imam Dheri would be turned into an Islamic university.
13. Only licensed FM radio stations would be allowed to operate in the region.
14. Taliban would allow women to “perform their duties at the workplace without any fear.”
Now the real question is, why are our media and politicians hiding these points and claiming that this deal is a "surrender" or in some way supports TTP? Any one in their right mind can read these and immediately say all these are in favor of the state and the people of Paksitan.

well, its because they wanna show the people that Pakistan has surrendered to the Talibans. What people don't understand is that you cannot win over the Talibans through fighting and killing, not even the Soviets could do that. We need to have more peace deals like these in the mean time and try and educate people and create jobs to kill this problem from the root.
