This drone attack was the first since US President Donald Trump took office on 20th January 2017. In the past whenever a drone strike took place in bordering areas with Afghanistan on Pakistani soil, Foreign Office used to condemn it as an eye wash as it is well known fact that drones strikes cannot take place inside Pakistan without the consent of Pakistani government. In this latest incident, the Foreign Office of Bajwa-Nawaz regime did not even care to officially condemn the drone strike. COAS General Qamar Javed Bajwa on 14th June 2017 while addressing a meeting of corps commanders in Peshawar expressed his views on this incident without directly referring to a drone strike in Hangu said, "Unilateral actions like drone strikes, et cetera, are counterproductive and against the spirit of ongoing cooperation and intelligence sharing being diligently undertaken by Pakistan". It is an important sign on part of Bajwa-Nawaz regime that they are no longer acknowledging drone strikes that take place nor condemning it while new US administration is going to unfold its new strategy for Afghanistan quite soon. Some American critics, such as Michael Kugelman of the Wilson Center research group, say that ramping up drone strikes against insurgents sheltering on Pakistani side could be a key component of the new strategy.

Muslims of Pakistan and their armed forces are furious on this sheer violation of sovereignty while they see that their current political and military leadership has not even dared to condemn this strike. So in a way Bajwa-Nawaz regime has fallen into a deeper slavery to US as compared with previous Musharaf-Aziz, Kayani-Zardari and Raheel-Nawaz regimes.

Muslims of Pakistan and especially sincere officers in the armed forces must ponder, where the Bajwa-Nawaz regime is taking Pakistan? Since Musharaf, every political and military leadership has made Pakistan look like a banana state although it is a nuclear state with world’s sixth largest army. These slave and coward leaderships always try to scare us of American military and economic might so no one resists their treachery in order to accomplish US objectives and interests in this region. There is no honor in serving Kafir colonialist state whether US or anyone else. We must consider one fact that without the help of Pakistan, the US could not attack and occupy Afghanistan and even after 16 years, the US knows that neither, India, Russia, China or any other regional or international player rather only Pakistan can deliver what it wants in Afghanistan. So why do the sincere amongst the armed forces not come forward, seize the traitors and change the fate of this region according to the interest of Islam and Muslims as Pakistan has the capacity and power to reshape this region. And this can easily be achieved once Khilafah (Caliphate) on the method of Prophethood is established in Pakistan.
