2nd May a Tragedy or.......?

TRAGEDY OF 2ND MAY.
By: Prof. (Dr.) Khurshid Alam

Obama in the Sand Hurst of Pakistan killed Osama. I used the terminology of certain Electronic media of Pakistan, particularly Geo who is running a parallel electronic Government. The only program worth seeing is LKN.
If we call it a tragedy then what term we have to give to those martyrs from all shades of life in the war against terrorism and the sufferings of IDPs.
The other way round the corner will be to quote Stalin and close the chapter. He said,’ ONE DEATH IS A TRAGEDY AND IN THOUSANDS IS STATISTICS.” If this is applied then of course it is a tragedy the rest were buried in the dump of Pakistan’s biased history.
Apart from killing in thousands innocents he has left in millions widows and orphans. We will remember HIM for the destruction of two States Afghanistan and Pakistan.
His death was followed by hue and cry from a good size lobby who during his lifetime were crying for dialogue, a point to be noted.
Osama was the chief of the shadows of death.
These shadows were providing protection to certain section of our society and in return residential arrangements, the protection of logistic line in through the society and providing day-to-day services were the duty of those who considered him a soldier of Islam in his life and Martyr after his death. They had share in the bounty as well.
There are certain burning points being raised now a days and I would avail the opportunity to comment on it.
Q: Was it our war?
A: Certainly Yes. Distortion of facts has become our national character.
A chain of events precedes every happening. If not taken in to account distorts history.
- The intervention in the internal affairs was started when Sardar Dawood came in power. Bhutto spared no stage to abuse him.
-Pakistan was never on good terms with Afghanistan since it was proclaimed since Afghanistan accepted Durand Line.
_ The intervention took an armed interference after Saur Revolution.
Hezbs, ISI, all were there.
_The USSR invasion was followed by Pakistan intervention in the internal affairs of Afghanistan.
_The invasion by USSR was followed by US intervention.
-It was Pakistan that suggested to Americans to stab the USSR in its belly and take the revenge of Vietnam.
-Pakistan’s own interest was to get strategic depth. It was the war of --Pakistan in close collaboration with USA both having their own agenda.
But there is no doubt that US interest was aroused and stimulated by our Generals.
It is our war now because its target is our army and elected democratic people who are being killed and is fought in our land and we are being consumed in the fire.
So for our short falls are due to the lack of total national support to the army so we are asked, “DO MORE”. An army with a divided nation can never win a war.
A.V.M. Choudhri was totally out of touch with historical events. He like other Pakistani defense or political analysts failed to read the preceding chain of events. We never takes trouble to follow the events.
Q: Was our sovereignty and national honor insulted?
A: Yes. But was it a greater tragedy than when our GHQ was hit? GHQ of a country is the hub of a country to protect the sovereignty of a nation? Where were these champions of National honor?
Our national honor has been on sale since the days of SHAHEED-E-MILLAT. It has become a commodity for our power hungry leaders to sell it to outsider and in return remain in chair. Those who have no roots in the nation has to look for an out side backing. Our rulers had always backing of US administration. Americans have always invested in our rulers not in our nation. Now they have started to take a new step but it is foolishness to expect them to ignore their own national interest?
There is of course one exception that is Z.A. Bhutto. Though he acquired power at a huge national cost but then never compromised on national honor, dignity and sovereignty.
Out of all opportunist rulers two are national criminals, Zia & Musharraf. They are vicious characters. They totally mortgaged the partially “let to” Pakistan.
Zia was a Wahhabi sectarian fundamentalist and introduced this deadly germ not only in the civil societies but also in the most disciplined army of the world.
His insanity can be judged that he was engaged on many fronts at the same time. He wanted to capture Afghanistan, to establish Khalistan, and to occupy Kashmir.
His tentacles were reaching central Asia, India and China. To fight on so many fronts he needed US & UK support.
Musharraf was a stooge of America. He had no specific ideas but was interested in power and luxurious life.
Both were suffering from a psychiatric illness of false perception of grandeur.
Both were equally responsible in harboring terrorist and to provide them training better than our Army special Services Group. They were also responsible to hire “THESE DEADLY SHADOWS.”
Their targets were two Pakistan Army and Nationalist democrats. The rest were not even touched and some of them even refused Army Protection.
Those who talked of dialogue also mourned Osama death. Dialogue cannot be held with shadows but they were sure that to follow the shadows will lead them to the non- visible GHQ and can capture power.
It is our war; fought on our land, consuming our people, Military officers and Jawans, started by our shameless characters and we are reaping our own sown harvest. It may be very bitter truth but the world opinion cannot be cheated any more. US & UK played guest artist role to achieve their end.
Q: Sovereignty and national honor?
A: Did we have any left? I would not agree.
Armed Forces have done their constitutional duty to appear before the elected representatives. Now is the time of civilian leadership across the board. Mian Sahib would not agree to any commission unless headed by Choudhri Sahib. We agree but there will be no more self-exile.
We all know who planted this cancer and who harbor and train it bit all we need a bold national character to cease to be silent so to earn our lost sovereignty and national honor.
This deadly fish slipped twice from their hands twice, once with the help of ISI and second time with the help of Gulbadeen. They could not afford to repeat it the third time.

AFGHan own afghan initiative

AFGHAN OWN AFGHAN LED AGENDA FOR AFGHANISTAN

By Dr. Khurshid Alam khurshidalam44@hotmail.com dated 20th April 2012

I have always been a strong believer that Afghan crisis can be solved only by Afghans only. Every nation has its own Psychology, code of life and ethics. National wisdom is superior and stronger than any diplomatic expertise or military might.
But once the foreign involvement is completely stopped. In my opinion US led army action would have never taken place if they had no foothold regionally, I mean the neighbors particularly Pakistan.
Still it will be not that easy but hopes are there for its success. My optimism is based this time because Pakistan Armed Forces are also a party along with civilian government. Nothing is guaranteed in Pakistan unless it has its Military backing.
The Institution that matters is ISI. I have my reservation whether Gen. Kiyani will be able to take them along or not? Otherwise it is a step in a right direction though late.
It is also in the interest of Pakistan to have peace. I am definite that the Pakistan Military leadership must have realized the follies and silliness of Gen. Zia and Musharraf that to destabilize Afghanistan is in the interest of Pakistan. To put Afghanistan on fire Pakistan cannot be a safe place. Fire does not know boundaries and lines.
These two vicious and wicked persons have not only destroyed Afghanistan but also have put the integrity and sovereignty of Pakistan at a stake to further their personal interests. They must be tried in the court of law nationally and in Haig. It must be made sure that ISI is made a party to end this vicious game of blood let if Pakistan wants viability and restoration of international trust?
In support of my this assumption I quote the statement of Gen. Mullen that some elements of ISI still have very closed relations with terrorists and Taliban. In addition this is a logical assumption that those who implanted this plant must be having some idea about its growth to become a tree.
This is also an open secret that why armed forces and nationalist are the main targets? Does it not stink foul?
The Afghan leadership is mature and the children of their objective condition. Afghans are known to be fearless fighters but they have no match in Jirga system as well. But they have to do a lot of spadework before embarking on the real task. Apart from political leadership they need active involvement of religious scholars and to work extremely closely with FATA elders on both sides along with settled area scholars and politicians of every shade. It should be Afghan broad base multi prong approach.
Abdullah Abdullah opposition is understandable. But we must try to take him in confidence if he fails to see reasons then better ignore him. Time will expose them. I personally showed my astonishment to Gulabzo when I met him in Kabul being a good friend. Mr. Gulabzo support to this lot is not easy to understand. He was an Ambassador to USSR during Najeeb time.
We should not be oblivious to the fact that in Pakhtoon society religious scholars are having fewer followers than a Khateeb of mosques.
The whole Afghan nation has to come in to action to contribute in this historical mission. Pakistan.
My personal involvement since the days of Dr. Najeeb and emissary and aid of Late Wali Baba has brought me to this conclusion that Afghan’s own agenda led by Afghans on both sides and an honest support of Pakistan Armed forces and its intelligence agencies is the only answer to this blood let.
Pakistan establishment must realize that a destabilize Afghanistan is converting Pakistan from a country to a corridor. A corridor has no sovereignty or national honor.
It utterly obscured notion of our so-called analysts and retired army Generals that there can be peace in Pakistan and fire play in Afghanistan. Either there is a peace or war on both sides. On both sides are Pakhtoon.
The delivery to the masses of foreign aid and local resources the gross root of society must be assured in words and spirit to wean off the people from these wolves. Poverty is playing havoc.
The sectarian organizations must be under constant surveillance. My personal experience tells me and I want to share with the concerned people who matters that Taliban movement was basically a nationalist uprising of Pakhtoon.
It was ISI and other agencies that blended religious fanaticism in to it giving them an impression that this religious tinge will strengthen their struggle. In this hypothesis the sectarian organization were openly involved.
In thousands youngsters went from the eastern belt and vanished. Gen. Dostum and the fascist element of the north were equally involved in it. It does not mean there was no fascist in the South. The mass graves unearthed by foreign agencies in the North are still waiting that the war criminals from all shades should be brought to justice in Haig.
Both in Pakistan and Afghanistan the national questions must be solved on the table amicably, if both countries a permanent peace. The world knows how badly Pakistan handled this question and lost the logic that it is an ideological state but bilingual Pakhtoon and uni- Lingual Dari speaking people in Afghanistan is an ample proof of this silent imperialist attitude.
If we keep ignoring solid rock type of facts we may achieve a temporary peace but it will resurface again. To qualify my statement this was exactly the word that one Pakistan diplomat told after to the hierarchy of Afghanistan after Sour revolution that if they want to establish a social welfare state in Afghanistan for all Afghans it will sustain and flourish but to build a Mini Iran will never ever finds leg to stand upon.
Iran involvement in northern part of Afghanistan is no secret and they are always stirring linguistic and sectarian hatred in Afghanistan. The visit of Iran foreign Minister to the North of Afghanistan on Afghan New Year day without the permission of Afghan Government is a non –Deniable proof of their nefarious designs. The international fraternities show no mercy to such cultural terrorism.
Afghanistan belongs to all nations having the same history and Father Land and is entitled for they’re due national rights. The recent sectarian uprising in Bahrain is another proof.
No one can deny the legitimate rights of the majority Shia Sect in Bahrain they must have their share and say in a democratic Bahrain. We neither support Sheikh and his ally Saudi Arabia to impose their will on the majority of Bahrain but in the same vain we condemn and oppose the maneuvering of Iran fundamentalists in Bahrain.
I do not claim that my point of view will be 100% right and my analysis will be the cure of all ills. I am open to discussion but I am firm in my belief that my intentions are 100% right.
I am of strong belief that one sees the truth and cease to speak it is the beginning of his mental death. Being the follower of Late Abdul Ghaffar Khan (Bacha Khan) I am duty bound to say what I have seen and heard with my own eyes and ears.

EX US MERCENARY AND INTERNATIONAL TERRORIST KILLED

EX US MERCENARY AND AN INTERNATIONAL TERRORIST

KILLED.

Khurshidalam44@hotmail.com.

Obama kills Osama deep inside Pakistan in the city of Abbot Abad. The former US mercenary turned international terrorist and Enemy no 1 of US after Iraq war has a long history of crimes.

It was he who is responsible for US attack on Afghanistan. It was he put the Afghanistan and Pakistan on fire. It was he who used Islam as a shield for his heinous crimes.

He used a strange logic and declared himself as the sole defender of Islam. Let me take him on this point. No doubt the problems of the Muslim world stems from the double standard of US establishment but who is doing it for them? No one else, but our own rulers, the stooges of the Western World and US. If we back trace the history of Pakistan and be honest to our selves it was these rulers who begged the western world for their ulterior motives and mortgaged our future they never requested us.

I am unaware of the declaration of Jihad but if it was Muslim World liberation then his priorities were totally wrong.

Islamic teachings demanded that he should have launched a holy war against his own rulers.

If it was according to the he sanctity of religious places then logic demanded that he should have liberated Khana Kaaba first from Americans and then Holy house in Jerusalem from Israel. Did he consider Afghanistan more sacred than Holy Ka’aba?

Palestine was another issue? The Arab sheikhs, monarch and despots are the main stumbling blocks in the establishment of Palestinian homeland. Israel opposition is understandable. They killed more Palestinians than Israel.

As a Pakhtoon I feel that he put our homeland on fire and was our national enemy and killer of thousands of innocent Pakhtoon.

As a human being he was perpetuated crime against humanity as a whole. Was he the only to do it? My answer is “NO”; there are certain rogue states like Israel, USA, Pakistan and Iran who never hesitate to do the same atrocities against nations who refuse to toe their line. There are several organizations all over the world playing the same game.

We know who brought him here? It was USA, SAUDI ARABIA and PAKISTANI despots followed by the shadows of death. Prince Nayef and Gen Hamid Gul were the patrons

We constantly denied that Pakistan has no knowledge of his where about. Our agencies, Armed forces and government always claimed and fooled the world. Even the sectarian organizations denied his presence. But the sudden eruption of anger and resentment by them stinks foul.

As a student of politics I always rejected their claim of innocence in my articles. No one can be in a hide out in a country like ours with out support of establishment and civilian sympathizers.

I always pleaded that the losses of armed forces against terrorism are huge. It points out to the halfhearted co-operation of the agencies and support of civilian network.

The armed forces and the nationalists were the two main targets so it will be illogical to think that they are protecting their own killers.

But an organization cannot work with so much accuracy and can be so selective in their target unless they have roots in the civil society and agencies. Their logistic rout must be running through the society and protected by skilled organization.

In no war with India we have lost senior ranking military officials like generals but we did loose generals in this war.

I had my profound doubts that the whole nation is not behind the armed forces. It was not an illogical idea as some section of our society had no threat from these deadly shadows and was feeling so safe that they refused to accept state protection.

It needs thorough re-thinking by civilian government and military leadership of their strategy. The enemies of the country should be exposed. The nationalist and military personnel should be protected from backstabbing.

I do not at all support the American action, neither Abbot Abad operation nor Drone attacks but did we left any room for them to do otherwise, that is to trust us to carry it out?

As for as sovereignty of the country is concerned we should be honest to our selves to regain it? This topic is good for public consumption but has lost its relevance soon after the birth of Pakistan.

Sovereignty has been sold several times by despots and civilian autocrats. We hate Americans but we love their wheat and guns. We need F16 for an unknown threat external threat and brushing under the carpet the internal threat. We milk both worlds either we hate them or we don’t?

It is up to the PPP government to respond to Ch. Nisar but May I remind him that was it not the Indian Premier who informed his leader that Pakistan has attacked India without warning? Did he resign for his ignorance?

Our Ex F.M. is trying to follow the suit of Z.A.Bhutto. Hope he succeeds. But the chances are slim. He was the I/C of this disk. He vehemently supported the Drone attacks. He with all his oratory denied the presence of any Militants in Pakistan. He should apologize to the nation for his wrong information.

How the world will trust us if the fabrications are told on such a high level?

Now as a country we should stop licking our wounds but to re-read our selves and redraw our strategy keeping the repercussions following the Abbot Abad operation.

We are between the Sea and the devil. We have lost the trust of US and we have invited the anger of terrorists.

The only intact forum in the country is Armed forces but they have no protection from the back.
