Description
Byline: Irfan Bukhari ISLAMABAD -- While some quarters, particularly the business community, are demanding military action in Karachi, the history of such action in Pakistan reveals that they have not been successful, largely because of the absence of long-term political back up and support, though they did provide as short-term solution to problems. East Pakistan: A planned military pacification carried out by the Pakistan Army - codenamed Operation Searchlight - was started on March 25, 1971, to curb the Bengali nationalist movement in East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) by taking control of the major cities on March 26. Though this operation was launched by a military regime with martial law in place, it could not handle the uprising and led to the dismemberment of the country.
