Cruelty in The Neighbourhood

 Experts say that the economic loss faced by Pakistan as a result of terrorist activities would be in billions and billions. If the security forces of Pakistan had not been professionally so competent and strong, the loss could have been many times greater. Now India has once again started its malicious efforts to revive terrorism in Pakistan.

It is nothing but callousness and cruelty that there are a few countries which are simply exploiting the pandemic of Covid-19 in their own trivial interest. According to different reports, since the beginning days of the Covid-19 till now, a shocking rise could be noticed in the incidents of Indian interference into Pakistan and intensity in Indian atrocities against the helpless people of the Indian Occupied Kashmir. Recently in the second week of October, the Indian troops from across the restive Line of Control (LoC) started shelling in several areas of Azad Jammu and Kashmir. Five civilians and a Pakistan Army soldier were martyred as a result of this unprovoked and indiscriminate shelling. At least 30 other civilians and five soldiers also sustained injuries in this act of brutality.  Military sources say ‘it was the biggest escalation in hostilities on the de facto border in months’. 

In Pakistan’s ‘befitting reply’ to this aggression, India also had to suffer substantial losses in terms of troops and material. A newspaper published from India, The Hindu also confirmed the death of three India army soldiers and one from Border Security Force (BSF) as result of Pakistan’s response to India’s aggression. In short India’s terrorist activity took many precious lives. After India’s latest violation of the cease-fire Pakistan called on the international community to take notice of Indian sponsorship of terrorism in the Pakistan. It is not only the matter of ceasefire-violation along the LoC, India's Research & Analysis Wing has been operating a network of agents and training camps through its diplomatic missions in Afghanistan since long without the consent of the Afghanistan government. These agents are training, equipping and financing militants operating inside Pakistan. 

In a joint press conference of Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) and the Foreign Ministry on 14th October 2020 the Director General ISPR Maj. Gen. Babar Iftikhar and the Foreign Minister of Pakistan Mr. Shah Mehmood Qureshi criticized not only the recent ceasefire violations by India across the Line of Control but also condemned India’s interference in Pakistan through the RAW agents. A dossier containing irrefutable evidences was also unveiled in this context. It was also told to the media-men at the press-conference that Pakistan has obtained documents that showed New Delhi had met with and funded members of the Pakistani Taliban, as well as Baloch insurgent groups from the southern province of Balochistan who have claimed responsibility for attacks on Chinese interests as part of an effort to sabotage China's $65 billion Belt and Road investment plan in Pakistan. 

For a long term peace and stability in South Asia, a stern check will have to be put on India’s ‘terrorist’ activities in the region; alarmed the Foreign Minister. Certainly at this point we cannot ignore a very important question; who is going to bell the cat? Is there any possibility of stopping the world's biggest democracy from behaving like a rogue state? The most interesting thing in this entire episode is that after the press-conference when the Reuters tried to get the reaction of India's foreign ministry on the allegations leveled by Pakistan, the whole of the India’s Foreign Ministry remained silent.

World’s self-claimed ‘biggest democracy’ India has ever been dreaming of destabilizing Pakistan. To keep her neighboring countries continuously in a state of trouble and turmoil by patronizing terrorist organizations particularly in Pakistan has always remained India’s priority. It is the result of India’s support to the terrorist organization that Pakistan lost the lives of its more than 38000 citizens and more than 98000 have yet been injured. No other country has ever been such a horrible victim to terrorist activities. The total number of the affected ones must be somewhere more than half a million because every person injured or martyred in such incidents is financial supporter of a family of three to four persons on average. 

Experts say that the economic loss faced by Pakistan as a result of terrorist activities would be in billions and billions. If the security forces of Pakistan had not been professionally so competent and strong, the loss could have been many times greater. Now India has once again started its malicious efforts to revive terrorism in Pakistan. It has been pointed out by the Intelligence Agencies of Pakistan that it is India’s grand plan to target prominent civilians, politicians, clerics and personnel from the security forces in November and December. Certainly it is the responsibility of the World’s ‘care-takers’ to save the neighboring countries of India from her hegemonic designs and intentions.
