India Rightly Rejects Imran’s Dubious Response To Pulwama

It is good to note that India in a befitting reply has very rightly rejected Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan’s comments on the ghastly Pulwama attacks, saying that disclaiming neighbouring Islamabad’s link with terrorist attacks is an excuse often repeated by the “nerve centre” of terrorism. Imran Khan is shamelessly asking for proof very conveniently overlooking that Jaish-e-Mohammad has itself accepted proudly its direct role in carrying out the ghastly killing of more than 40 CRPF soldiers. Not just this, even the Pakistani invader and former Army Chief of Pakistan Gen Pervez Musharraf who masterminded Kargil war which failed miserably as Pakistan had to ultimately withdraw its forces has acknowledged the Jaish’s role and said that even he was attacked many times! What more proof is needed?

                                    What stands out here is what befitting reply the Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh gave. He asked Imran Khan who demanded proof of Islamabad’s role in the Pulwama attack : “Should we send the bodies of the terrorists killed by our security forces to him? What proof is he (Imran) talking about? Will he identify them?” He also said on the sidelines of a function in Patiala that, “Masood Azhar is in Pakistan and doing things from there, and everyone knows it. Every day our soldiers are being killed at the Line of Control – so who’s killing them? The entire world knew what Pakistan was doing in Kashmir and other parts of India. They were behind 26/11 and India gave all the proof to them, but they did nothing.” He also pointed out that even in the Nirankari Bhavan blast at Rajasansi, a Pakistani grenade was used, clearly exposing the neighbouring country’s involvement.
                                 Not stopping here, Captain Amarinder Singh also very rightly reacted angrily on Twitter later saying that, “Dear @ImranKhanPTI, you have Jaish chief Masood Azhar sitting in Hahawalpur & masterminding the attacks with ISI help. Go, pick him up from there. If you can’t, let us know, we’ll do it for you. BTW what has been done about the proofs of Mumbai’s 26/11 attack? Time to walk the talk.” He also rightly said that “Imran was a ‘courtesy-ISI’ PM so how else could one expect him to react. The Pakistan PM, along with Pakistan army chief Gen Qamar Javed Bajwa, were killing Indian soldiers and innocent people. India cannot and should not tolerate this.”
                             He also rightly reiterated that, “If they kill one of ours, we should kill two.” The Punjab CM also rightly underscored the importance of peace for development but added in the same breath that India needed to avenge the killings of its soldiers. Pakistan must be made to pay through its nose as we did in 1971. Only then will Pakistan sit quiet!
                                    What’s more, India also came out with a seven-point hard hitting response after Imran Khan said that he would act against the perpetrators of the Pulwama attacks. In a statement, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said that India was not surprised that Khan refused to acknowledge the attack on India’s security forces in Pulwama as an act of terrorism, adding his offer to investigate the attack if provided proof is a ‘lame excuse’.  The MEA minced no words in putting across that, “Disclaiming any link between the terrorist attack and Pakistan is an oft-repeated excuse by Pakistan. The Pakistani Prime Minister has ignored claims made by the Jaish-e-Mohammad as well as by the terrorist, who perpetrated this heinous crime.”
                                     Needless to say, the MEA also said that, “It is a well known fact that Jaish-e-Mohammad and its leader Masood Azhar are based in Pakistan. These should be sufficient proof for Pakistan to take action.” But how can it take action when everything is happening with their blessings? Did Kargil happen without the blessings of Pakistani invader Gen Pervez Musharraf who himself acknowledged later that he had entered one night before war started into India about 15-km inside to boost the soldiers and terrorists to brutally kill our soldiers and capture Kargil from Indian forces? What all will Pakistan deny?
                                 It is a national tragedy that our politicians till now have made very little effort to take any serious action against Pakistan by getting it declared a “terror state” and getting it named “Aatankistan” as was demanded by Maulana Mehmood Madani and Rajeev Chandrashekhar a long time back! But even now we must at least wake up and step up the efforts which we should have taken a lot earlier! Better to be late than never!
                              Simply put, the MEA also rightly pointed out that, “The Prime Minister of Pakistan has offered to investigate the matter if India provides proof. This is a lame excuse. In the horrific attack in Mumbai on 26/11, proof was provided to Pakistan. Despite this, the case has not progressed for the last more than 10 years. Likewise, on the terror attack on Pathankot airbase, there has been no progress. Promises of ‘guaranteed action’ ring hollow given the track record of Pakistan.” India had allowed foolishly the Pakistani ISI officers to inspect the Pathankot airbase but when India’s turn came to send NIA officers to Pakistan to grill the suspects, Pakistan just flatly refused! This is the track record of a rogue country like Pakistan whom our politicians have trusted umpteen number of times only to be stabbed not just in the back but also in the face!
                          Can we ever trust it? Should we ever trust it? India has now rightly refused to give any proof to Pakistan and reiterated that it would give proof to the international community but not to Pakistan which is itself responsible for master minding all terror attacks against India since independence!
                                       As anticipated, the MEA said that Pakistan claimed to be the greatest victim of terrorism but this is far from truth. The MEA also rightly brought out that, “The international community is well acquainted with the reality that Pakistan is the nerve centre of terrorism.” We all know how the Pakistani invader and former Army Chief and President of Pakistan Gen Pervez Musharraf said in front of journalists that, “Osama to hero hain ji hero! Bilkul aasli hero! Hafiz Saeed bhi to bilkul aasli hero hain ji Osama ki tara. Bharat ke liye yeh aatankwadi hain paar hamare liye to ye freedom fighter hain ji aassli hero hain ji.”
                                        In a significant development, France has said that it would move proposal at UN to ban Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) chief Masood Azhar which has claimed responsibility of the Pulwama terror strike that left more than 40 CRPF personnel dead. This will be the second time that France will be a party to such a proposal at the UN. In 2017, the US, supported by the UK and France had moved a proposal at the UN Sanctions Committee 1267 to ban the chief of the Pakistan-based terror outfit. However, the proposal was blocked by China which is a time tested friend of Pakistan!                                 But why blame China alone?
                                In retrospect, it was in former PM Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s term as PM that this Masood Azhar along with three to four dreaded terrorists were released when our plane was hijacked by terrorists! The plane should not have been allowed to leave India from Amrtitsar! Many attacks on India including the attack on Parliament, on J&K Assembly and others including this one could have been avoided! Anyway, what we need to learn from it is that under no circumstances should ever Centre succumb in front of terrorists and release them for a few people!
                             On Khan’s references to build a new Pakistan, the MEA rightly said that, “In this Naya Pakistan, ministers of the current government publicly share platforms with terrorists like Hafiz Saeed who have been proscribed by the United Nations.” Not just this, we all know that terrorists openly hold rallies in Pakistan and stamps are issued in memory of terrorists and their photos pasted everywhere as we saw when Karatarpur corridor was opened and Khalistani terrorists were accompanying Gen Bajwa and photos of dreaded terrorist late Bhindrawale were pasted all over even in the Gurudwara yet our politicians chose to ignore everything for reasons known best to them!
                                      This can never be in India’s interest! Captain Amarinder Singh also was not too happy about all this! Why then our politicians chose to ignore all this just for the sake of few votes?
                                   When will they wake up and start doing real service and not just lip service! They must start sending their own children to defence forces so that when they die they can experience first hand what it means to die at the hands of Pakistani Army and terrorists sponsored directly by them! Only then will they feel the real pain!    
                                        It is high time and now there must be zero tolerance for all type of support to terrorists. Even in India those who pelt stones and act like Pakistani soldiers must be shot dead promptly! No leniency should be displayed towards them.
                           As is his wont,  PM Narendra Damodardas Modi keeps reiterating about his giving free hand to army in Kashmir! It serves no purpose unless and until Army is given shoot at sight order for stone pelters! But no such free hand has unfortunately been given to the Army!
                         We have seen of late that ever since Mehbooba became CM, stone pelters have started openly attacking our forces whenever they fight with terrorists! Which country will ever allow this to continue with impunity? But in India we have been seeing this ever since Mehbboba became CM! She ensured that criminal cases were withdrawn against 10,000 stone pelters!
                           No wonder, even after Pulwama ghastly attack still stone pelters have the guts to pelt stone at soldiers by coming out in the open as they know no shoot at sight orders have been given to Army! Whatever PM Modi or any other politician says regarding giving free hand to forces is nothing but just talking point with sole purpose of pacifying the agitated public all over India! Most shameful!   
                                    Why was Most Favoured Nation (MFN) status conferred on Pakistan in 1996 which was directly responsible for Kashmiri Pandits becoming refugees in their own homes in 1989-90? It has been withdrawn now 23 years later! Why did Centre allow Pakistan to take benefit from Indus water Treaty since 1960 till 2019 when Pakistan has declared war against India since last many decades?
                                Why did Centre gave security to those Hurriyat leaders who rant against India and are accused of supporting terrorists and raising funds for them and some have serious criminal cases pending against them? Why security withdrawn so late first against 5 and now against 18 and 155 in total as reported in media? Why crores of rupees which is taxpayers money wasted on them even when they say that they never demanded the same?
                                 To say the least, India rightly rejected Imran Khan’s dubious response to Pakistan but a lot more needs to be done! Pakistanis must be made to vacate India and this includes those who enjoy Indian citizenship yet shamelessly bat for Pakistan because as my best friend Sageer Khan rightly said in 1993-94 that, “You cannot be an Indian and a Pakistani at the same time. Muslims enjoy the most liberties in India and in Pakistan Indian Muslims are discriminated against and termed Mohajjirs and treated as second graded citizens. Still if some Muslims love Pakistan so much then have the guts to relinquish Indian citizenship and pack your bag for Pakistan.  It is in India that Jawaharlal Nehru ensured that Hindus could not marry more than one women but Muslims could marry up to 4 as permitted to them in Quran. How much more freedom do Muslims want. It is in India that Muslims lay claim to Ayodhya, Kashi and Mathura which belong to Hindus since time immemorial. What if Hindus demand temple in Mecca or Medina? Will any Muslim ever allow it? We must learn tolerance from Hindus.”
                        Similarly Mehbooba should teach Kashmiris to behave like literate person and not indulge in spoiling their own lives and lives of other Kashmiris by becoming suicide bombers and picking up guns but this she never does nor does she advises Pakistan anything and is always on the look out to attack Indians for not indulging in war mongering! Instead she is always ready to deliver moral lecture to the people of India! She should first herself behave like literate person by seeing through the direct role played by Pakistan in fomenting terrorism in India! But this she never wants to do!
                                 I really pity her! Gen GD Bakshi was right in blaming Kashmiri politicians like Mehbooba and others for ensuring that security check points were packed up at multiple places which culminated in the horrible Pulwama massacre! The blood of every Indian is boiling as even PM Modi himself admitted and now Pakistan must be not just boycotted but also given a befitting reply so that it can never again take India for granted! All relations with Pakistan must be nuked now!

India Must Boycott Pakistan Cricket Match In World Cup

It is a no-brainer that India under no circumstances should ever play cricket match with Pakistan as long as big terror factories are operating in each and every part of Pakistan and as long as all the terror leaders like Hafiz Saeed who is chief of terror outfit Lashkar-e-Taiba, Syed Salaluddin who is chief of Hizbul Mujahideen, Masood Azhar who is chief of Jaish-e-Mohammad etc are not handed over to India immediately and dismantles completely its terror infrastructure spread all over Pakistan with the full blessings of Pakistani Army, ISI and puppet government installed by Army in Centre which right now is led by their Prime Minister Imran Khan who keeps speaking like a parrot what Pakistani Army tells him to speak! Under no circumstances should there be any dilution on this stand! This is the best tribute that we can pay to our soldiers by boycotting Pakistan and Pakistanis in every walk of life!
                                      It is a matter of deep regret that Indian cricketers are not speaking in one voice on this so sensitive issue! How can we play cricket with a nation that is labeled by Maulana Mehmood Madani and Rajeev Chandrashekhar as “Aatankistan” which has ensured that more than one lakh soldiers are killed in last many decades by their proxy war by which terrorists are trained, armed to the teeth and indoctrinated to the hilt to hit India hardest where it hurts us the most? How can we overlook attack on innocent Amarnath pilgrims, attack on Akshardham temple where women and children were also not spared and killed after asking them to sing national anthem, attack on Parliament, attack on Red Fort?
                                    Why are we more bothered about losing two points if we don’t play against Pakistan? Are two points more important or are our soldiers more important? What message will be sending to the families of slain soldiers if we keep interacting with Pakistan as if nothing has happened? Are we not further emboldening to further carry out more such dastardly attacks on us?
                                     I am at a loss of words to explain my deepest regards for the likes of Harbhajan Singh, Maninder Singh, Saurav Ganguly among others who have barring a few exceptions all unitedly demanded that we should not play with Pakistan because by doing so we are doing nothing but mocking at the supreme sacrifice rendered by our brave soldiers for our  great nation! Former Test off-spinner Harbhajan Singh who triggered this debate rightly and aptly said that, “Country comes first. India should not play against Pakistan. What is two points (which India would concede for forfeiting)? Pakistan is known to promote terrorism and the (Pulwama) attack was shocking. We can make up for the loss of two points. India has a very strong team. Not playing Pakistan would send a strong signal.” Kudos to him for supporting the national sentiments on this!
                                      Let me be honest enough to admit that Sachin Tendulkar has been my most favourite cricketer since childhood days till he retired. But I don’t stand with him on this particular issue and the likes of him like Sunil Gavaskar and Kapil Dev who are great cricketing legends and are endorsing Sachin’s stand but they cannot be above India! Nation comes first and everything else later! How can we keep sports above nation?
                                         While vehemently batting for India to play Pakistan, Sachin said that, “India has always come up trumps against Pakistan in the World Cup. Time to beat them once again. Would personally hate to give them two points and help them in the tournament.” I always hold Sachin in highest esteem but on this I completely beg to differ with him! Sachin is talking about two points!
                                     I am ready to give Pakistan hundred points but I will still not want India to play cricket with them because hundred points cannot be above my nation and above the people of my nation! National mood is deadly against Pakistan now especially after the dastardly Pulwama terror suicide bomber attack masterminded by Pakistani Army and ISI and Pakistan based Jaish-e-Mohammad which has proudly acknowledged its role also in which we lost more than 40 CRPF soldiers and later lost two Major also, police officers also and soldiers also from Army and still shameless, spineless and soulless Imran Khan asks us senselessly and shamelessly to give him proof! How can we still even think of playing cricket with a terror sponsor and rogue country like Pakistan which is just not prepared at any cost to dismantle its terror training factories from its soil?
                            As it turned out, let me bring out here that Sachin then further clarified that, “Having said that, for me India always comes first, so whatever my country decides, I will back that decision with all my heart.” This statement of Sachin I truly welcome as sports can never be above nation! Finally the patriot inside Sachin’s heart has spoken and I am proud that I always considered him my hero!
                                   What’s more, for former India captain Sourav Ganguly whom again I adore, the issue went beyond the World Cup. His stand is fully similar with mine! He rightly says that, “We should cut off all ties with Pakistan. Why just cricket? India should not play against Pakistan at all.” He also rightly supported the move to boycott the World Cup match!
                                       Talking about whether he is in favour of resumption of India-Pakistan cricket ties, the former spinner Maninder Singh said, “No, no and a big, big no. I am very patriotic and I love my country; and if these things keep happening to our country, then, I am sorry, No [cricket].” He also rightly said that, “People talk about sports and politics, that both shouldn’t be mixed. But let me tell you, it is bullshit! I mean, people say that cricket will build the bridges between both the countries. General Pervez Musharraf used to say that and then he had that Kargil war. So, no. Unless and until the mindset changes, I don’t think it can happen or should happen.”
                                  It is most heartening to learn that even the BCCI has formally asked the International Cricket Council (ICC) to severe ties with Pakistan in the wake of the Pulwama terror attack that killed more than 40 CRPF personnel. India, however, needs a broad consensus in the cricketing world to isolate Pakistan. According to the ICC Constitution: “A member may have its membership terminated if the Board of Directors considers that the member’s breach of its obligations as a member is sufficiently serious to warrant termination.” I am sure that BCCI will leave no stone unturned to ensure that Pakistan is kicked out of ICC World Cup and even if it does not happen will not play with Pakistan under any circumstances!
                                             It is most assuaging and heartening to read that former BCCI Secretary Sanjay Patel very clearly and categorically said that, “How can you expect India to play Pakistan at the time we have lost so many of our brothers in these cowardly terrorist attack? I am of the firm view that India should not play Pakistan in the coming World Cup.” Absolutely right! There can be no denying it!
                                     To be sure, Sanjay Patel also very rightly said that the decision-makers in the board should take into account the prevailing mood in the country. He added that the clout India has in world cricket allowed BCCI and the Committee of Administrators to take any step they deemed fit. He minced no words in saying it firmly that, “If we play World Cup, then it’s clear that game is bigger than the country’s image. For me, India is first and it’s not only me who has such a sentiment. Ask any Indian now, and they will be of the same view. Cricket will only take place if terrorism is stopped. I hope the current COA and BCCI takes note of it. There is always a limit to everything, and this time all limits have been crossed.” Who can deny or dispute this? Only they who don’t love India from their heart!
                                Going forward, Sanjay Patel also rightly referred to the recent decisions taken by Cricket Club of India, Punjab Cricket Association, IMG-Reliance and Dsport to prove that the prevailing sentiment in the country that people don’t want any relationship with Pakistan. The views of former IPL Chairman Rajeev Shukla who earlier favoured cricket relations with Pakistan was also along similar lines. He said that sporting ties cannot prosper in the present environment. Without mincing any words, he said that, “I’ve always said that sport is above politics but now it will hamper sporting ties too, not until Pakistan-sponsored terrorism is stopped.” It is most refreshing to see that even the likes of Rajeev Shukla who earlier took a moderate stand of playing with Pakistan have now elected to not play till Pakistan-sponsored terrorism is stopped!
                                  Just like talks and terror cannot go together similarly sports and terror cannot go together! India must put unrelenting pressure on Pakistan from all sides to make sure that it acts now seriously! Each and every Indian must stand with PM Modi led NDA government on this as this is the crying need of the hour also! Pakistan must be made to realize that it cannot any longer get away even after masterminding the worst kind of terror attacks against India and if sports ties with Pakistan are to be nuked, so be it! India must act decisively now!
