| VHP loons bitch and moan about de-escalation... |
| 2002-06-13 |
| The VHP on Thursday charged the BJP-led NDA Government with succumbing to international pressure by agreeing to military de-escalation along the Indo-Pak border and asked New Delhi to adopt a "non-compromising" policy like Israel and attack terrorist training camps in Pakistan. "India seems to be under tremendous international pressure. If it withdraws its troops, gives concessions to Pakistan and resumes normal diplomatic ties, we will have to bear the consequence as Pakistan will never alter its anti-India policy," VHP Senior Vice-President Acharya Giriraj Kishore told reporters. "It seems we have not learnt any lessons from history. Perhaps, we have forgotten the miserable plight of our diplomatic and non-diplomatic staff in Pakistan. How long will we have to bear this repeated onslaught on our honour by Pakistan. The country's youth are ever willing to take on Pakistan," he said. Sounds rather like the same thing Hafiz Saeed is saying, only from the other side. Perhaps we could arrange things so that Markaz ad Dawa and its gunnies and the VHP and their gunnies could fight it out, while the rest of the world went out for coffee? It's really easy to be tough and uncompromising and belligerent when you're not the one who has to dodge the incoming artillery. |
