One of the biggest defame of the year 2010 was the “Hajj Scam shortly after when the image of Pakistan was still doubtful with reopening of NRO (in 2009).In Hajj Scam FIA (Federal Investigation Agency) arrested 6 officials while NRO (National Reconciliation Agency) exposed 8000 beneficiaries of the political sanctuaries.At this time it is absolutely necessary to establish a transparent accountability system to avoid such kind of defaming incidents again.It will take a few years for Pakistan to project its image being a lawful country but the results will worth the effort and time span.

What to say of image in the world when the tourists feel insecure of visiting a country.For a few years (especially after 2001) it has been so with Pakistan.The country which was once renowned for its tourists spots of Northern areas is now thought to be the most dangerous zone especially for those visiting from West.It is with this image of a state with high crime rate and incorporated culture that the foreign investors have rolled back their business from Pakistan.The fiscal year 2012 witnessed 83% of deficiency in Foreign Investment.According to the Economic Survey of Pakistan 2009-2010 between 2002 and April 2010 more than 8,000 terrorist incidents took place in Pakistan resulting in 8,875 deaths of both civilians as well as personnels members of LEAs (Law Enforcing Agencies) and injuries to a further number of 20,675 people.These figures do tell what kind of image Pakistan have regarding ‘terrorism’.The only way to alter this image is to devote all the military and civil efforts to eradicate this growing menace.US interference has further led to global humiliation for Pakistan.

The assassination of Osama Bin Laden,(the Prime suspect of US war on terror) in Abbottabad in May 2011 by US Navy SEAL operation left Pakistan with global embarrassment.The ISI (Inter Services Intelligence) of Pakistan and the govt were alleged to provide sanctuary to the militants.Later Pakistan was alleged to have close connections with Haqqani Network.

Though Pakistan has been fighting terrorism actually from 2004 bit it could not project its true efforts before the Western world.The govt of Pakistan must take a clear stand against an uninformed US operation within its territory as the blatant and flagrant violation of the image of Pakistan as a sovereign state.The Govt of Pakistan,the military and other law enforcing institutions reform the current policy of verbally condemning jihadism and actually fighting it in some places but secretly supporting it in other places.Strong projection of peace can crucially help Pakistan to have a desired image.It should access UN’s help to claim Pakistan’s contribution and sacrifices for US-led War on Terror.
