Advani sez Paks behind Gujarat slaughters
2002-03-23
  • Home Minister Lal Kishenchand Advani accused Pakistan of inciting the recent communal violence in Gujarat and elsewhere in India after Islamabad had been 'internationally isolated'. The home minister lashed at Pakistan for fomenting communal tensions in India after unsuccessfully waging a decade-long 'proxy war'. "I would urge every citizen of this country to be cautious and defeat the nefarious designs of our neighbour," the minister said. Pakistan was trying to 'disturb communal harmony in the country that has been safeguarded by the Vajpayee government' for the past five years, Advani said.
    Indjah has its own set of domestic loons in the form of RSS and VHP, and it looks to us outside observers as though they're capable of destroying the nation's domestic tranquility on their own. If the Indos don't dismantle them, they can forget that "secular state" stuff, and they can forget about economic progress.

    That being said, I have somewhere between little and no doubt that the Paks had agents on the sidelines whupping up the violence once it got started, chortling and rubbing their hands as mobs of ignorant Hindus set fire to their Muslim brethren. I wouldn't be in the least surprised to find an ISI involvement in the train attack that set the whole thing off.
