Counter-Terrorism measures taken by Pakistan
Pakistan's Counter-Terrorism Efforts
Pakistan's previous
counter-terrorism efforts at the CPEC, Gwadar Port Pakistan have focused on the
military. He formed a special security division of 15,000 paramilitary troops
in 2016 to protect the project. However, the Gwadar attack showed that the
current measures may not be enough, as the militants managed to infiltrate the
heavy military area.
After Gwadar Port Pakistan, the Army, which has a
high priority for the protection of the CPEC, announced that it would form a
second security division to protect the CPEC, which was later outlined in the
new budget. This may be part of an existing project. More details are expected
and it will take time to form this new force. The Chinese government also says
that Pakistan has set up a special committee for CPEC projects like Gwadar Port
Pakistan in Pakistan and for the security of Chinese personnel. Probably. It
has to do with Pakistan's role in reconciliation in Afghanistan: On July 2,
2019, the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) was helped to hand over Pakistan to
Baloch militants as a terrorist group.
Development of Balochistan
In addition to these measures,
the military announced in June a voluntary budget cut to help the country's
economic crisis. Prime Minister Imran Khan soon announced that the remaining
funds would be spent on the development of Balochistan and the tribal areas.
The 2019-2020 budget, released a few weeks later, saw a total of 3 3 billion to
5. 5.3 billion In funds allocated for economic growth. This complements the
CPEC's rehabilitation towards Pakistan's development: with the agreement with
China, the project like Gwadar Port Pakistan is intended to further benefit the
economy of ordinary Pakistanis. Gwadar Plots on
installments.
CPEC Security Concern
In addition to the seemingly
genuine desire of the Pakistani establishment to address economic grievances in
these areas, one of the purposes of this growing focus on Balochistan is in the
context of the CPEC, Gwadar Port Pakistan. Army spokesman Asif Ghafoor said
economic prosperity reduces incentives for terrorism. Promoting economic growth
in areas where economic grievances fuel terrorism is a powerful boost to
Pakistan's "heart and mind" counter-terrorism campaign. However,
while the military's role may remain central, the new security division will
serve as a more concrete step in addressing China's security concerns.
