1. 1.

National Security
2. 2. The most serious threat facing Pakistan at the moment is posed by terrorism and the
ongoing war on terrorism, narcotics drugs circulation and growth of different crimes in
Pakistan. Our national security environment is infused with different important dimensions.
Internal threats to our national security make up the first dimension. The growing
uncertainties that lie in the regional and global milieu make up the second dimension of our
national security environment, even as threat of external aggression against our country
remains in the remote horizon. No doubt for century’s national security has been the basic
and paramount concern of the nation states.  National security is a state or condition where
our most cherished values and beliefs, our democratic way of life, our institutions of
governance and our unity, welfare and well-being as a nation and people are permanently
protected and continuously enhanced. 
3. 3. Internal Security Threats To Pakistan
4. 4. Pakistan, ‘land of the pure’ was created as a separate homeland for the Muslims. Since
coming into existence as an independent state, Pakistan is facing internal and external
threats. The challenges of threats faced are, old as well as new.
5. 5. •Religious/Sectarianism •Ethnic •Refugees •Terrorism •Poverty/Population
6. 6. Religious identity formed the genesis of the struggle for Pakistan, which in 1947 emerges
as the most populous Muslim state.
7. 7. Pakistan was faced less with the menace of sectarian threats, as the only party which
existed in the earlier days was the Jamaat-i- Islami led by Syed Abul Alla Moudidi.
8. 8. Another danger is the problem of ethnic unrest. Punjab, with almost 60 percent of the
population, dominates almost all aspects of national life. Smaller ethnic groups, all of who
have at one time been actively dissident, resent this fact.
9. 9. Another cause for concern was the involvement of the refugees in drug trafficking. They
had free access to drugs like heroin that they smuggled through the porous borders into
Pakistan. This made all these drugs easily accessible to the local society, which, resulted in
increase of drug addiction.
10. 10. It basically exists in two forms in Pakistan. The religious extremist groups, which have
been outlawed and have been involved in sectarian killings or violence fall in this category,
whose prime target is not foreign commercial targets but grudges against the government
and the second one is supported by external sponsorship.
11. 11. At the present the economic position of the country is not all that optimistic. With the
proposed growth rate, the problems of meeting the basic needs of the citizens will be difficult.
The average person living well below the poverty line will be further drawn into the
turbulence of economic deprivation and embedded further deep into poverty.
12. 12. Ethnicity/Minorities: Civil leadership should facilitate dialogue between the ethnic groups
in Sindh to create a balance and harmony. Contact should be established between the ethnic
groups so that they can talk out their grievances and redress the situation. Governance:
The quality of governance needs to be improved. Civil and military relations needs to be
addressed, a harmony between them needs to be created to create a cordial domestic
political environment. 
13. 13. •Terrorism: Internally Pakistan should deal with curbing sectarianism as that is posing a
lot of terrorist threats to the security. With emphasis on controlling internal threats of
terrorism, external the threats should also not be ignored as they act as feeders to the
internal threats.
14. 14. The founder of Pakistan, Quaid-i-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah, once said “The weak and
defenseless, in this imperfect world, invite aggression from others.” To effectively deal with
such threats, nations not only seek power (economic, political, and military) and take
adequate measures either toward them off or to minimize their perceived adverse impact, but
efforts are also directed to acquire more and more power as well as efforts are also made
simultaneously to inculcate a sense of security among the citizens.  Security implies the
 absence of real or perceived threats whether originating from internal turmoil, external
sources, economic disparities and inequalities. 
15. 15. The threat emanating from a changing domestic situation. Threats from India and
Afghanistan make a formidable task for Pakistani security planners. The developments
following 9/11 have further complicated the situation. The threat from Afghanistan,  The
perennial threat from India,  Pakistan is confronted with a three-threat scenario— 
Sandwiched between India and Afghanistan, Pakistan’s security perceptions have been
largely influenced by its state of relationships with India and Afghanistan. More specifically,
the single largest source of security challenges has been with India.  Pakistan has been
facing external threats to its independence and territorial integrity right from its birth. 
16. 16. Since partition, the state of Kashmir, Siachin, Sir Creek, and water related issues are
also taking a huge chunk of antagonism between the two countries. Although the process of
Indo-Pak normalization was initiated in 2004, and for four years meetings of various agreed
baskets were regularly held, the Mumbai incident abruptly halted the process. The long
delays in resuming the useful dialogue adversely impacted the process of desired neighborly
normalcy. However, the dialogue has been recently resumed. It is the earnest hope of many
South Asians that recently resumed dialogue would maintain a desired level of consistency.
17. 17. Post 9/11 developments further complicated the situation. There is no doubt that people
of both Pakistan and Afghanistan have great regard for each other, but the policies are made
by the ruling groups. The powerful elements within the incumbent Karazai cabinet are not
just known to be extremely sympathetic to Pakistan’s eastern neighbor, but appear to take
some kind of pleasure in making Pakistan uncomfortable. The second major source of
external threat emanates from the current developments in Afghanistan. The threat from
Afghanistan did not acquire alarming proportion until the Soviets invaded Afghanistan in
December 1979. Since then, Pakistan Afghanistan relations have experienced many
vicissitudes. 
18. 18. The provinces of Kyber-Paktoonkhawa, FATA (Federally Administered Tribal Areas),
and Baluchistan are extremely prone to such an eventuality, primarily because of the
existence of dissident elements. During his recent confirmation hearings for Secretary of
Defense, Senator Chuck Hagel remarked that India has over the years financed problems for
Pakistan from Afghanistan. It is true in strategic terms that in view of Afghanistan’s internal
problems (including the ongoing civil war) and the relative military inferiority, it cannot pose a
serious threat to Pakistan’s security. But the danger of possible fallout from Afghanistan’s
political instability into the neighboring provinces of Pakistan cannot be overlooked. 
19. 19. Six issues have been impacting Pakistan-Afghanistan relations rather consistently since
the emergence of Pakistan as an independent country, and each of them has taken some toll
on the Pak-Afghan reservoir of goodwill. These issues include unbridled rumors regarding
the Taliban’s linkages with Pakistan and their periodic adventurism, the status of the Durand
Line, Indo-Afghan relations, the landlocked nature of Afghanistan, the presence of foreign
forces (including American and NATO forces), and the undesired critical speeches of the
Afghan leaders unnecessarily vilifying Pakistan. Each of these issues has been periodically
making adverse contributions.
20. 20. If the Afghan mess is to be sorted out, then both the Afghan and Americans need to do
much more then what they have done so far. The Afghans need to check and minimize
corruption if they are unable to eliminate it altogether to reduce fairly heavy dependency
upon the drug barons, transform its drug based economy, accelerate work on the
developmental projects which could improve the job situation, introduce and undertake
effective measures in order to improve law and order situation, improve techniques of police
training, initiate and embark upon political approaches, expand and accelerate the training
program for its army, avoid undiplomatic and irresponsible speeches and statements, and
cooperate with Pakistan in order to jointly work towards the attainment of peace and stability
 in Afghanistan etc. Soon after the tragic events of 9/11, the Americans invaded Afghanistan
and further messed up the already chaotic and complicated situation in Afghanistan. 
21. 21. While Pakistan does not face an imminent threat to its existence from (increasing)
extremism, it definitely is a worrying trend. If militants/terrorists are the fuel that drives a
machine, extremists are the machine themselves. Fuel eventually runs out with time (as the
state of war is not perennial), but the machine does not. As long as machine is still there, it
only needs some 'ignition' to be operational again. Extremism revitalizes militancy. The
Pakistan military is pounding the militants hard in their strongholds, but the LEAs But as
long as Pakistan is not focusing on its internal threats hard enough, eliminating the external
threats will not resolve the security challenges the country faces. While Pakistan still has a
good number of peace loving citizens residing in it, the increasing number of extremists in
mainstream Pakistani society is a source of concern.  & the courts are doing far less to
tackle the extremists (potential to-be- militants) in the rest of the country.
22. 22. The most important lesson is that Pakistan must have political, economic, and assured
deterrence capability to forestall aggression from all quarters. For as long as there are
disputes and conflicts in the region of geographical, political and economic interest to a
nation, latent threats to its sovereignty will continue to exist.
23. 23. Crimes In Pakistan
24. 24. A crime is wrongful conduct defined by law as being punishable by imprisonment, a fine,
or other penalty and an unlawful act punishable by a state.
25. 25. Organized Crime Crimes Against Morality  Crimes Against Persons There are many
different types of crimes which are following:
26. 26. Crimes against persons, also called personal crimes, personal include murder,
aggravated assault, rape, and robbery.
27. 27. Crimes against morality are also called victimless crimes, because there is not any
complainant, or victim. Prostitution, illegal gambling, and illegal drug use are all examples of
victimless crimes.
28. 28. Organized crime is crime committed by structured groups typically involving the
distribution of illegal goods and services to others. Many people think of the Mafia when they
think of organized crime, but the term can refer to any group that exercises control over large
illegal enterprises (such as the drug trade, illegal gambling, prostitution, weapons smuggling,
or money laundering).

is the foremost reason of crime.  Lawlessness, fundamentalism, backwardness and double
standards prevailing in the society of crime.  Major causes of crimes are illiteracy and
unemployment. Leading causes of crime in Pakistan are following:
32. 32. To maintain the strong judiciary, Pakistan has to introduce honest officers in law
maintaining departments, encouraging employment opportunities for illiterates and literates.
33. 33. DRUGS IN PAKISTAN
34. 34. Shipment of Afghan produced morphine base are also sent by sea from Pakistan’s
Makran coast. Morphine’s base is transported overland through Pakistan and Iran or
directly to Iran from Afghanistan.  Some heroines are smuggled by sea on vessels by the
 port of Karachi.  In 1998s Pakistan and Afghanistan exported nearly half of world heroines.

36. 36. The tobacco used for shisha pipe is not the same as the cigarette, its fresh tobacco
leaves that haven’t been doctored or cut with any chemical. Shisha tobacco is addictive
and hazardous to a smoker’s health as traditional cigarette.  The flavors of shisha covered
and hide the harmful effects of the main gradient that makes the user an addict.  Shisha
comes with different flavor which result for users to have a lot of alternatives. 
37. 37. When tobacco is smoked most of the nicotine is pyrolyzed. Nicotine is the dangerous
and nerve toxin drugs  There are 4000 in tobacco 100 identified poisons and 63 known
drugs which causes cancer.  Inhaling smoke into the lungs, the incomplete combustion
produced by tobacco produces carbon monoxide which impairs the ability of blood to carry
oxygen when inhaled into the lungs. 
38. 38. Their number are easily exchanged from one person to another in hostels, hotels and
hidden places. The purchase of drugs or alcohol by young people is usually through
dealers and agent.  Young people are more vulnerable to drug use and there are 420,000
people who inject themselves with drugs.  The majority of drugs addicts usually start with
soft drugs like chaliya, gutka and pan.  6.4 million drugs addicts in Pakistan and most of
these addict are youngster. 
39. 39. No action is being taken against drug cartels. Political instability, poor law, order
situation and social backwardness.  Lucrative business  Easy money  Corruption
among the government agencies responsible for checking smuggling.  Organized gang of
drug mafia  Easy availability  Unemployment  Poverty 
40. 40. Concrete step must taken to weaken the hold of drugs on society. Punishment for such
persons who sell and buy it.  Strict action against drugs cartel may help to reduces the
amount drug addicts.  Drugs cartel should be taken up drugs and removed altogether. 
Government should try to reduces the scale of unemployment. 
41. 41. The family is destroyed Drug addiction substantially reduces sober time available to
the person.  The primary goals of drug abuse or addiction treatment also called recovering
are abstinence relapse prevention and rehabilitation.  Debates and program must be
arranged on TV and a campaign must be initiated to control and catch the drug traffickers.
Government must take concrete steps to stop smuggling and illegal entrance of drugs. ,
personality is stunted and emotion becomes intense and distorted.
42. 42. Impact Of War On Terrorism In Pakistan
43. 43. The terrorist of yesterday is the hero of today and the hero of yesterday is the terrorist of
today. The threat of terrorism has steadily increased over the last 30years.  The terrorist
act of September 11,2001.in the region of south Asia, Pakistan has most delicate strategic
position. 
44. 44. popular typology identifies three broad classes of terrorism Revolutionary, Sub
revolutionary and also establishment. It is vital to bear in mind however there are many kind

held due to effected areas such as KPK and FATA.  Terrorism is a great hurdle in our
economic, prosperity, political stability, geo strategic and energy security. 
48. 48. Furthermore, India, a neighboring country with who we are always in a state of war and
enduring rivalry since the inception of Pakistan as its inception was not accepted by them
whole heartedly. The reason of this enduring rivalry is also seeded in the unresolved issue of
Kashmir which is the mother of all problems. Similarly the asymmetry in power capabilities,
the Indian hegemonic designs and the persisting sense of insecurity also add fuel to fire and
in making the relation cool and dry and the Pakistan is having security challenges from
regional, sub-regional entities and even across regional players i.e. India, Afghanistan, Iran,
the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and the US. The turning point in the internal and
external security threat was propelled by the event of 9/11, in which Pakistan was asked
either to be ‘us’ or with ‘the terrorists’ and thus Pakistan became an ally of the US in her war
against terrorism. This major shift in our foreign policy made friends opponents and turns the
table on Pakistan. Now Pakistan is a security deficit state. And now as the US is planning to
partially withdraw its forces from Afghanistan at the end of 2014 which is biggest challenge
for Pakistan’s security because the US’s presence in Afghanistan is interconnected with the
stability and national security of Pakistan. 
