Do not spare Pakistan
[THEHANSINDIA] The arrest of key suspect in Kanpur train mishap, Shamshul Hoda, and his aides in Nepal is certainly a big breakthrough. His alleged connections to the ISI have been under India’s glare for some time. It is very much distressing that Pakistain should be able to make use of Nepalis to foment trouble in India. The November 21 Indore-Patna Express derailment claimed 140 lives. NIA is already probing a sabotage angle. It believes Hoda is also behind the failed attempt Curses! Foiled again! to blow up tracks in East Champaran in Bihar. India, hence, should leave no stone unturned to unravel the truth and pin down Pakistain. Speaking of evil activities of our neighbour, a private bill has just been introduced in parliament to declare Pakistain a terrorist state. A valid argument is that if ‐ despite killings of over 14,000 civilians in various terror attacks since 1998 ‐ India refrains from declaring its neighbour a terrorist state, who else will. Practicalities and sensibilities apart, the bill points to the burgeoning anger in India at Pakistain. Unambiguously, the demand for passage of the 'The Declaration of Countries as Sponsor of Terrorism Bill, 2016,’ tabled by Rajya Sabha MP Rajeev Chandrashekhar, is a far-fetched idea. Nevertheless, a debate on it helps Indian parliament to signal a warning to the world to act against the fountainhead of terrorism. Pak Parliament recently unanimously rejected that Kashmire is an integral part of India. As the world is getting increasingly vexed over terrorism, India should seize this opportunity to direct global outrage at Pak’s policy of terrorism in Kashmire and Afghanistan. The house arrest of Jamaat-ud- Dawa (JuD) chief Hafiz Saeed  ...founder of Lashkar-e-Taiba and its false-mustache offshoot Jamaat-ud-Dawa. The United Nations declared the JuD a terrorist organization in 2008 and Hafiz Saeed a terrorist as its leader. Hafiz, JuD and LeT are wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Pak intel apparatus, so that amounted to squat... by Pakistain is only a tactic to duck US visa sanctions already slapped on seven Moslem-majority nations. As long as it can bank upon China and does not feel pressed to improve its international status, things may not look up for India from Pak angle. Also, given the overt Chinese support to Pakistain, its blockage of India’s move to get into Security Council or get the Council to designate Jaish-e-Mohammad ...literally Army of Mohammad, a Pak-based Deobandi terror group founded by Maulana Masood Azhar in 2000, after he split with the Harkat-ul-Mujaheddin. In 2002 the government of Pervez Musharraf bannedthe group, which changed its name to Khaddam ul-Islam and continued doing what it had been doing before without missing a beat... founder Masood Azhar a terrorist, India has to ramp up its strategic capabilities in Asia, besides keeping the West apprised of terrorism emanating from Pakistain. India should also impress upon new US President Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... to strongly rein in Pakistain. Trump is keen to join forces with even arch-rival Russia to decimate ISIS and go after other terrorist organizations. It should not be for nothing that India has given up its hallowed policy of non-alignment and forged defence ties with Americans. Posted by: Fred 2017-02-08 |
