EnterTheVoid Posted April 9, 2009 Posted April 9, 2009 Pakistan: Cut Off All India Links Pending Lahore Investigations The Pakistani intelligence report released by The News confirms two things: It is time for Pakistan to take punitive measures against India and stop allowing India the use of Pakistani transit and air routes pending the Lahore probe and, two, that the U.S.-installed government in Islamabad facilitated the attack on the Sri Lankan team first by ignoring the intelligence warnings and then by trying to protect India after the attack. Considering that Pakistan is supporting Sri Lanka against the Indian-sponsored insurgency in that country, the actions by the PPP government raise disturbing questions. By AHMED QURAISHI Thursday, 5 March 2009. WWW.AHMEDQURAISHI.COM ISLAMABAD, Pakistan—The intelligence report released by The News raises some disturbing questions about the role of Pakistan’s pro-U.S. government in letting the Indian attack on the Sri Lankan team in Lahore happen despite the advance warning by Pakistani intelligence officials. Despite knowing that RAW, India’s spy outfit, has dispatched terrorists to attack the Sri Lankans, President Zardari’s confidante and Punjab Governor Salman Taseer had the audacity to accuse ‘Mumbai attack perpetrators’ for the Lahore attack. New Delhi accused ISI of involvement in Mumbai. Was Mr. Taseer accusing the ISI of attacking the Sri Lankans? We know his government is keen on dismantling the ISI on U.S. orders and to appease India. Was protecting India in this case part of this agenda? Sherry Rehman and Rehman Malik, two more confidants of the President and the government’s information minister and de facto interior minister respectively, gave this lousy excuse for not naming India for terrorism inside Pakistan. Both of them have said that their government wanted to show maturity by not accusing any country. The truth, of course, is that this particular PPP government is in power thanks to U.S. meddling in Pakistani politics. This government refused to name India for terrorism despite all the evidence because it does not want to antagonize Washington. Unfortunately, a minority of ‘India-lovers’ in Pakistani media and politics sprang into action to defend New Delhi. The good part is that almost none of them has any credibility with the Pakistani public opinion and all the cheering they get comes either from New Delhi, Washington and London. Pakistanis need to know this class of ‘India-lovers’ in Pakistan. Here’s a list compiled by Pakistani jouranalist Mr. Rizwan Razi who emailed it to me today: Mr. Najam Seithi wrote an editorial in Daily Times saying that "Lahore tragedy has not been staged and sponsored by India". Mr. Imtiaz Alam said "India wanted to make surgical strikes but it was not behind this attack.” Mr. Altaf Hussain of London said: "It was not done by India". Mr. Amir Mir wrote in The News "it was done by Al Qaeda." Ayesha Siddiqua said while talking to Dunya and other TV channels that " It was done by Al Qaeda". Salman Taseer while speaknig live media at spot said "These Bastards are those who have done the Mumbai attack.’ Interestingly, U.S. President Obama seconded all of them when he said "It is done by Al Qaeda" and linked the Lahore incident to the tribal region. Not a single Pakistani government protested at this linkage which basically justifies the U.S. intervention in Pakistan. PUNITIVE ACTION AGAINST INDIA Information is accumulating on India’s role in recruiting and forming terror cells in Lahore, Peshawar, the tribal belt, Balochistan, Sindh and its largest metropolis Karachi. But until the probe is complete, Pakistan needs to reclaim some of its reputation by turning the world’s focus toward India’s use of terrorism as a foreign policy tool in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Nepal, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka. The mainstream American and British media are so skewed in favor of India, their new slave-soldiers in Asia, that they won’t entertain the strong body of evidence that shows India’s record of sponsoring proxy terrorists. Islamabad should pointedly accuse the Indian government and its intelligence agencies of attacking both Pakistan and Sri Lanka through this terrorist act in Lahore and highlight how Hindu terrorists have infiltrated the Indian military and intelligence establishments. Pakistani citizens and media persons need to build the pressure on the Pakistani government to take the following steps: - Cut off air, rail and road links with India with immediate effect. This should include Indian trade to Afghanistan via Pakistani territory. - Deny overflight rights to Indian airlines. - Stop the sale and display of Indian films and music in Pakistan. - Check the role of some of the Indian writers in Pakistani newspapers. Some of these writers are using Pakistani newspapers to denigrate the Quaid-e-Azam and describe him as a ‘separatist’. Unfortunately, some Pakistani journalists see no problem with this at a time when Indian newspapers completely ban Pakistani writers in their papers, let alone criticize India in any way. Indian news websites outrightly ban Pakistani visitors who register in order to post comments. Indian writers should not be allowed to spread their venom using the Pakistani media. - Take a stand on India blocking Pakistan’s water. The PPP government is deliberately avoiding confronting India on this issue under U.S. pressure. I urge all nationalist and patriotic Pakistanis to send letters to the editors of all newspapers, write on their blogs, and make telephone calls to live talk shows and make these points and build pressure on our government. ************************************************************************************* ROFL :hysterical: A friend of mine showed me this article I've been grinning from ear to ear ever since I read this hosh posh nonsense. Whats the link between the attack on Lankan cricketers and Indian bollywood entertainment that's sold in Pakistan ? Apparently, this donkey is a serious journalist OMFG. This made my day.
Rajan Posted April 9, 2009 Posted April 9, 2009 http://www.truthspring.info/publichtml/?p=38#comments This is written by an Ex.Pakistan Air Force F-16 pilot, who is a post graduate.currently settled in Canada.imagine an Air Force pilot who was ready to die for the country, writing the following in his website.he wont lie or support India.read on... ================================================= The terrorists have struck Lahore yet again and Shikata Ga Nai is a Japanese language phrase. To this phrase we shall return in a moment. With every terrorist attack, while the body parts of the victims are still scattered on the scene of the carnage, we Pakistanis, common citizens and intelligentsia alike, go into an overdrive in denying the obvious. A blizzard of statements like, “these cannot be Pakistanisâ€, “these are not Muslimsâ€, “this is not Islam†and last but not the least, “this is an Indo-Zionist conspiracy†spring forth from all corners of the country. Apart from being a terrible joke played on the victims of the violence, these statements are indicators of a complete state of denial in the Pakistani nation, and a dangerous one at that. Let there be no mistake that these terrorists are Pakistanis, they are Muslims, this is their version of Islam and they are serving its cause, there is no Indo-Zionist conspiracy against Pakistan, at least nothing more than what Pakistan has been sponsoring against these very same entities, and we need to WAKE UP. Period. Let us take up each statement on its own merit. The state of Pakistan has officially admitted that in almost all the attacks, the terrorists have been Pakistanis. Not only that, Jihadi organizations themselves have openly, proudly, categorically and repeatedly claimed credit for their numerous violent acts in the national and international media. It cannot get any better than that and it should effectively put to rest the first three assertions. Now let us take up the last one i.e. “Indo-Zionist conspiracy†against Pakistan. Even if there is such a thing, we need to answer a few questions honestly. Why is it that when the state of Pakistan conjures, promotes, plans, and executes strategies against India or Israel, or any other nation for that matter, these become policy imperatives vital to our ‘national interests’ yet when our opponents do the same in their ‘national interest’ these are called ‘conspiracies’ against us? What a skewed sense of fairness do we have. Or look at it form another angle. Why is it that our enemies are able to ‘conspire’ lethal schemes against us, recruit executors for it and then operate with impunity in broad daylight on our home turf? Is it not a clear case of cancer taking root and spreading only in a receptive host body? Can a man blame his neighbor for being able to sow discord in his home? I mean where has our sense of balance gone in these testing times? When a problem exists, the road map to solution courses through a 4-step approach. First and foremost–admit there is a problem. Next–identify its root cause. Third–debate the possible solutions and select the appropriate one/s. Lastly, of course, implement the plan. Calling the act itself as ‘the problem’ is not ‘admitting the problem’. That is fooling our selves. It is more like calling the symptom the disease. When as a nation, we are not any where near step-1, it is pointless to talk of solutions. The problem itself is pretty straight forward though. Extremists, having a global agenda stemming from a convoluted sense of religion, are on a rampage in the country as a first step. The mockery, laughter, and scorn by elements in the Pakistani media, blogs, and even common citizenry, when one talks of admitting this exact crisis, not only shows no real understanding of the threat facing our country but has in fact become a part of the problem. And we have seen that this kind of Jihad is not a shaggy dog story. Its ideology, embracing death and causing mayhem, is demonstrated almost every day throughout the country. Those mocking discussion of this threat and ideology continue to undermine the War of Ideas in Pakistan, and undercut the efforts of moderate Pakistanis to resist radical Islamism and Jihadis. Unfortunately, so pervasive is the malady that this grim dilemma now cuts across all socio-economic backgrounds and levels of education. The continuing dangerous denial of the threats of this ‘Jihad’, its ideology, and refusal to debate the issues of political agenda of these extremists represents the most treacherous fault line in Pakistan’s national security today. When concerns about this ‘Jihad’ and radical Islamism are a source of derision for Pakistani media, political organizations and common Pakistanis, then clearly the Jihadis are winning the War of Ideas. And this brings us to a most regrettable conclusion. And that is that if ever there was a conspiracy against Pakistan, here is one. The radicals are playing havoc with our bodies and souls and we are marching, lemming like, towards our national grave laughing all the way. We are the conspirators against our own selves. Perhaps it would be better if along the way we sang in a chorus Shikata Ga Nai. If nothing else, it would dull the pain of the increasingly hurting assaults in the short journey that remains. Shikata Ga Nai means “it can’t be helped†or “nothing can be done about itâ€. ======================= I have read some more recent articles by the same writer about the Taliban whipping the girl and am convinced that this guy talks sense. but some of the responses by pakistanis show the disease is deep rooted and almost cancerous.they will pay for their assumptions and for hiding their heads in sand and wishing the danger go away!
