THE TERROR STRIKE PAKISTAN ACCOUNTABILITY IS INEVTABLE

.
Followed by military action in Waziristan the terror strikes through out Pakistan. The main target is Pukhtoons belt and Islam Abad. It was expected. Terror anywhere, in any way, for any aim, has to be condemned and crushed without ifs and buts. It is a beastly act and has no place in a human society. The more it is difficult the more it is the scream of the Time.
It will be inhuman and immoral to defend it for any reason. Listening to the political discussions, I am yet to hear that one of our politician or military generals would have the moral courage to come forward and say that he/ she is ashamed that to be a party to that government which, introduced this beastly game in the political body of Pakistan. If they had that strength of moral fabric they would have never been a party to it. So it was wrong on my part to wait for a person who is extinct in our ruling class. It hurts me equally when innocent lives are lost, any where in the world for whatever reason. I am of firm conviction that wherever blood is shed, the centre of the world should be gravitating to that point.
It should be irrespective of race, colour, creed or religion. But I must point out for the sake of record, that when the terror crossed the Indus, it suddenly dawned on our rulers that this beastly animal should be nipped and is not only a threat to the integrity of Pakistan but shame to ISLAM. The interior minister Rehman Malik is on record, that though the terrorist were there for the last 20 years or more, but when the main land was targeted, they started to think, it is the question of our survival. He opined, now it is their war and they must win, while talking to P.J.Mir on ARY. It clearly shows that Pukhtoon belt were never a part of the main land in his view and our national extinction meant nothing to them. In Pakistan too, there are sacred cows, unless they are hit, nothing comes in to action.
I certainly will be the last one person to support any violence. To me it is animal’s behaviour. But I wonder where are those people who dubbed us as the followers of Gandhi or agents of Hindu and were preparing the nation for Jihad, which subsequently became a “FASAD”
Afghanistan was the first victim of state sponsored terrorism s, in close collaboration with sectarian organisation. Those who failed to promulgate Islam in The Islamic republic, wanted to export it.
The provincial Amir of J.I. supported the Jihad (Terrorism).
And lashed out on Abdul Ghafar Khan. That the non-violence is not for small nations. AGK supported the Hindu philosophy, as he was sold to Gandhi. This he said while addressing “Malgari Doctoran” in green hotel Peshawar, where representative of all school of thought were invited.
The mental make up of Pakistani rulers are not much different than USA. They have double standard at global level and price tagged different blood differently. Pakistan is doing the same, at local level. To our rulers, Pukhtoons blood meant nothing; as for they could get the perks of front line states and get US arms for their armed forces. On global level USA strategists will not allow any hit on USA or for that matter Israel in the Middle East.
For the last thirty years we Pukhtoons on both sides of Durand Line were subjected to target killing by Pakistani Agencies on one hand and by Pakistan hired terrorist, on the other. As Dr. Said Alam said without chewing words that 350 men of word were the victim of this heinous crimes. When I went to Kabul, we were shown a copy of press release of UNO.
It is obscured and total humbug to say that terrorism started when Russian invaded Afghanistan. Pakistan involvement in Afghanistan’s internal affair goes back to the days of Liaquat Ali khan. The active involvement started when Sardar Daud took over. Pakistan should have supported that positive change but instead Late Mr. Bhutto revived forward policy of British and the most undiplomatic language.
The process took the impetus, when Russian provided an opportunity to legitimize his illegitimate rule, who started dreaming of Afghanistan as a 5th province, to deepen the strategic depth of Pakistan.
We should bear in mind that wherever you introduce bullet and terror, in any form in a place, it is impossible to determine its boundaries or to keep it on tight rope to function.
Late Wali Khan almost begged Gen. Zia that a destabilize Afghanistan will ultimately destabilize Pakistan, if you put Kabul on fire it will definitely spread to Islam Abad, if you are sending ammunitions to Afghanistan, please don’t expect them to send you bouquet of flowers. I haven’t changed even the sequence of words in this conversation.
Late president Sadat of Egypt is on record to confess that his government sent half million Russian assault rifles to Pakistan, in return to get US assault rifles for his army. Rehman Malik may be the interior minister of a civil government but his mental make up is the same, specially trimmed for Islam Abad. It is special frame of mind that rules from Islam Abad, people are irrelevant.
We have been grimaced between two hard and rough surface, Pakistani agencies on one side and fanatics on other. Rehman Malik’s main land was not touched, so he was not alarmed. There is hardly any change in civilian and military vision, once they are in Islam Abad. Musharaf projected Pukhtoons as terrorists, to legitimise his illegitimacy. Was it not a criminal act to see off, one of the biggest criminals, Musharaf, with full state honour? Should we accept it as change of faces and continuation of Zia and Musharaf policy?
The accountability has become of immense importance. The international big criminals must be brought to face the tune. He and his coterie must have accountability and the other should be punished post humus.
Terrorist cannot be contained in a particular shape. Whether it was Hizbies, Taliban or terrorists. They originated from the same philosophy of violence. Violence in any form, will take the shape as it suits them. No doubt that there are foreign rogue elements. But may I ask who made the pitch for them to play? Was it not Mullah and Military alliance, which gave birth militancy and insurgency?
May I ask; is it USA on fire or its US citizens who are being massacred in cold blood every day? Is Peshawar, Islam Abad, Swat and Waziristan a part of USA? Whose war is this? Those who still consider it a US war; they should qualify their statements in front of a bench of accountability.
Those who are swimming in Luke warm water, all types Muslim Leagues to be added to two other Ms. The history has revealed the faces, the dust has settled down. The ground and sky are on fire, in flames, the faces are clearly visible. Unless those in power have closed their eyes and plugged their ears, neither can see nor hear these explosions, detonated in waves. Yes I agree that initially it was not our war, but who put our houses on fire? After Swat, it is Waziristan on fire and the are IDPs are again Pukhtoons. Not that, we are being killed only, we are being robbed of human dignity and national pride. I could expect any body, but not Jasmine to bring Contractor Amir Muqam, the stooge of Begamat and advisor to Musharaf, on her talk. I am ashamed that he hails from my district. It will be insult of my political wisdom to comment on him. We want some thing to put our wounds to sleep, not to put salt in their open mouths.
The time when satanic forces could be nipped in the bud was during Zia; but unluckily he was the band Master of the bandits.
The country is reaping the harvest of the seeds, sown by our own Band Masters. It will be another crime to raise fingers at others, even if India or other countries are involved, we must have provided the opportunity and prepared the ground for them? Does it need very rare intelligence or just a common sense, which is indeed a rare sense?
We should not mislead the public any more. We must tell them, to be ready for a long drawn war. We are fighting satanic shadows, which are better trained than our armed forces, having an excellent battlefield experience and seem well connected with religious parties and other sensitive agencies and armed forces. We must our people that we are at war with a frame of mind. It is easy to eliminate persons but not possible to eliminate a frame of mind, intoxicated, indoctrinated deeply and implanted in every section of our society by Mullah and Military alliance.
Our heads hang in shame that we have these black sheep’s in our rank and file, but can neither console our public nor can make it easy for our forces in combat. But resolve can make a difference without compromising on accountability.
With my apologies to the poet,” ES GHAR KO AAG LAG GAYEE… GHAR KEY DARBAN SEY. Will it not be a good resolve that we will not cheat our history? This is the least we can do for our forces.
