| Islamabad asks for iron-clad guarantees |
| 2002-06-13 |
| Pakistan has asked the international community, especially the Americans, for some iron-clad guarantees that India will not use the pretext of one or the other locally inspired Jihadi activity linked to the ongoing freedom struggle inside occupied Kashmir to commit some adventurism on the LoC at some future date. "Adventurism," I believe, refers to an attack across the Line of Control to clean out the rats' nests of terrorist training camps on the Pak side. Presumably this would come in response to the next atrocity by the jihadis. According to informed sources, now that Pakistan has taken all the measures as required by the international community to guarantee a permanent end to the cross-LoC movement, Islamabad expects the latter to reciprocate by guaranteeing that India will not misuse the military capability it has already built up along the LoC by blaming Pakistan for the deteriorating law and order situation related to the ongoing indigenous Kashmiri freedom struggle. If India gives anything resembling such a guarantee their government will be shown to be exclusively populated by mutt-wits. |
