A second Mumbai-style attack in Lahore in less than a month, both targeting Lahore, a city that has traditionally bore the brunt of Indian-inspired terrorism inside Pakistan.
The level of training of these people and the choice of targets leaves little doubt that someone is trying to teach Pakistan a lesson. It is baffling to see Interior Advisor Rehman Malik so eager to quickly pin the blame on groups such as Lashkar Tayyeba or Lashkar Jhangvi that were active in the Kashmir freedom struggle in the past and are dormant now. Accusing these groups is an indirect swipe at the Pakistani security and intelligence agencies that implemented State policy in the past of supporting the freedom fighters inside the disputed territory with India.
Why is Mr. Malik not willing to consider the possibilty of Indian involvement? Is he afraid of upsetting the Brits or the Americans? He knows more than anyone else that we have conclusive evidence of Indian involvement in terrorism in Balochistan and the tribal belt. Unfortunately, Pakistani media projection is not as strong as the propaganda of the American and the British media that supresses these facts. Pakistan has shared this information at the highest levels with the Americans, who continue to protect the Indians in Afghanistan because of long term strategic interest.
Additionally, where are those local agents of Indian intelligence that were arrested from various Pakistani cities in the past few weeks and months near both the Indian and the Afghan borders? Why are we scared of bringing these people out? Please cut through the thick propaganda smokescreen of the biased Anglo-American media and let the world and the peaceful Indian public opinion also know about the activities of their security agencies.
There is no question that terrorists involved in the attack will eventually turn out to be Pakistanis. No foreign-induced covert terrorist operation can succeed without local elements. The only country other than the United States that has an elaborate, Pakistan-focused intelligence setup in Afghanistan is India. The Indians are actively using the chaos in Afghanistan to create a wedge between the U.S. and Pakistan by indirectly supporting terrorist elements. This is one level of the covert war in the region. The second element is the suspicion that the U.S. is supporting the insurgencies inside Pakistan either directly or through the Indians and possibly other players.
Since we are unable to make our concerns heard throughout the world because of the bias and the choking grip of the American and British media, the only other way to highlight the nefarious and terrorism-abetting activities of Indian security and intelligence agencies is by cutting off rail, air, and road links with India, including denying Indian airlines the right to use Pakistan airspace and denying Indian overland trade to Central Asia pending the investigations and a review by Pakistan of Indian activities inside and around Pakistan.
This is also the time to neutralize elements in the Pakistani government such as President Zardari and Mr. Rehman Malik whose assets, lives and apparently loyalties lie outside Pakistan. Democracy cannot be allowed to become a trojan horse for foreign powers to meddle in Pakistan.
Take action on India, Mr. Malik.

I can bet Rehman Malik is never going to point finer at India. That is the main reason why he was even appointed.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work Mr. Ahmed.
ReplyDeleteIt is time for Pakistan to take matters in their own hands and stop begging for money and short term gains. West is adamant to prove us incapable in handling our affairs of the nation so that they can get their hands on our assets. We have to stop our cinema from viewing INDIAN movies first in addition to million other things. Sincerely,
I would like to educate our politicians first about who they are and what their role is in this world. They have forgotten that they can die any day. After all they are mortal.

ReplyDeletedear respected AHMAD

To get Pakistan out of this current mess, we need a replacement of current corrupt government with a government formed by selecting well-reputed technocrats of Pakistan. This selection process should be done by the Pakistan Army or under her protection. This view is shared by Ahmed Quraishi, Zaid Hamid and many other faithful Pakistanis.
ReplyDeleteAll the readers of this article, Please join me in spreading this message for the sake of our beloved Pakistan. The success of military intervention to install a government of technocrats SOLELY depends on how much our public is ready for that.
I have created a yahoo group: save our beloved pakistan(http://groups.yahoo.com/group/save_our_beloved_pakistan/?yguid=63739740)
I want the membership to be in 100,000s. Members will recruit more members to this point of view. We are only tasked to win minds. We don't need to lead any processions or get beaten by the police.
Once our target is convinced that Pakistan does not need democracy at this time, then we have attained our goals.We can also use this group to pressure the government to retreat from the wrong decisions. We can flood them with emails, phone calls, letters. The more we are, the more pressure we can exert.
Let us not be in a state of denial about these terrible incidents carried out by Pakistanis. There was no evidence that this was done by Indian security agencies. I think this sort of mistrust and fear mongering has to stop between the people of Pakistan and India. Misplaced nationalism from both countries has led to enough fighting. It must be avoided.
ReplyDeletei agree with crazyfrogdxb...
ReplyDelete@crazyfrogdxb:
ReplyDeletePakistan has formally delivered a dossier to Indian Prime Minister detailing Indian terrorism inside Pakistan, including the attack on the Sri Lankan team.
The dossier includes details about Indian agents who crossed the border, met other team members who moved in from Afghanistan to Pakistan's tribal belt and then traveled all the way to Lahore.
This dossier was given to the Indian PM. India agreed to issue a joint statement where India accepted its intelligence agents were involved in terrorism inside Pakistani Balochistan.
This Indian 'confession' came in exchange for Pakistan agreeing not to go public with the evidence.
For more information, please read this report:
