Pakistan's Deceitful Ways....

Pakistan has turned the tables on India. By upping the war ante, they have quiet deceitfully, managed to seize the advantage from India. The rest of the world, is now more concerned about a possible nuclear holocaust than the heinousness of the Mumbai attacks. America has toned down its criticism and it seems matters will die a silent death. And to add insult to injury, Pakistan is stagemanaging a few blasts in its own territory and accusing India of conspiring against it.

Pakistan's beaviour is along expected lines. Does the loud mouthed film director have an answer to all this?. India must re-draw its strategy on combating terrorism from the other side of the border. It must stop relying on others to persuade the rogue nation to see reason. Pakistan's tall claim that it has been as much a victim of terrorism as India is, is nothing but outright sham. It needs to realize that one who rides a tiger cannot dismount. So all measures to reform its society, from within, will be answered by violence.It is just a question of the chicken coming home to roost. So when you pay for your own ills, how can you be a victim?. On the contrary, India, which has got nothing to reform from within, is a victim in the true sense of the term.

If Pakistan believes in reading between the lines, it must take note of the huge turn out of voters in Kashmir. It shows, these very people, whom they have been trying hard to poison since decades, have reposed implicit faith in the way Indian democracy functions.

True colors...out too soon :)

As I said in my last post, i would like to keep my fingers crossed....I thought I have been quite sagacious. After the rare unanimity shown in the house.....politicians failed to turn up to pay respects to those brave soldiers who laid down their lives to defend these very politicians. It was the 5th anniversary of the parliament attack. Out of 750 MP's only 12 turned up.....just beginning to show their true colors....

Last night i saw a high profile Pakistani leader defending his country's fight against terror. He wanted India to hand over proof to them so that they could carry out their...(skewed).... investigations. Pat came the reply from an Indian politician...." They seek the help of Scotland yard police to investigate the assassination of their former prime minister. This amply proves they have no faith in their own investigation. How do they expect us to have faith in theirs". A former army chief of India expounded the theory of "death by a thousand cuts' to bring the rogue nation to book. The panelists mistook his suggestions for a full fledged war causing the high profile leader to panic and prematurely ring the alarm bells.He talked at length about Pakistan's nuclear capability and so on.

However I was disappointed by what an Indian film director had to say. He absolved the government of Pakistan of all blame and exhorted the government of both sides to get their act together to fight the terrorists. How could he be so naive so as to overlook the Pakistan governments tacit support to militants all these years. Doesn't he know, despite providing irrefutable evidence against 20 hardcore militants, seeking refuge there, Pakistan prefers to sit tight on it. And that too for 20 long years. Cant he see for himself how Pakistani leaders fumble with their statements on jihadis operating in India - they say something today only to disown it the very next day. Pakistan can never be trusted for its words nor relied upon for action.

Asking them to co-operate is like seeking the help of the burglar to investigate a burglary in your house.
