It is high time that our politicians should stop making a fool of this nation. There have already been three high level meetings within 48 hours to unanimously condemn Indian attempts to divert attention from Kashmir, to reject Indian claims regarding a surgical strike as bogus and false, to warn India regarding the consequences of aggressive acts or intents against Pakistan, and also to convey a clear and unambiguous message to New Delhi that not only the Civil and the Military stand united to face the Indian threat but also all the political parties.
First there was a meeting of the Parliamentary leaders and parties, chaired by the Prime Minister which conveyed the above signals to India. Then there was a National Action Plan meeting attended by high civil and military personnel chaired by the Prime Minister, followed quickly by a meeting of National Security Committee also chaired by the PM.
Quite clearly there is nothing left that has not been unanimously agreed and conveyed to the world regarding the Kashmir issue and the Indian designs. Then why this joint session of the Parliament? Isn’t it an attempt on the part of the Prime Minister to use the Security situation to divert attention from the Panama Leaks issue?
If our patriotic Prime Minister is keen to address the matter of the Indian designs more emphatically, the most effective way of doing so will be to address the Nation and the world with a loud and clear message that “the Indian Prime Minister Modi is criminally engaged in acts of brutality in Kashmir and is fanning the fires of hatred against Pakistan as well as Indian Muslims, besides carrying out nefarious acts of both covert and overt aggression against our country. Pakistan is committed to peace in this region but will respond to Indian threats and acts with all its strength. It is time that the world should intervene to bring about a durable and just peace in this region”.
That of course Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif will never do. He infact may well be grateful to Modi for having created a situation that gives him (MNS) an opportunity to put aside the Panama issue. He may also be grateful to the PPP for having helped him in buying more and more time to make his journey towards the 29th of November 2016 safe and hazard-free.
The PPP faces a challenge in the wake of the PTI boycott of the joint Parliamentary session.
It can enhance its credibility and reputation by forcing the ruling party to pass the much-trumpeted Panama Leaks Bill. The PTI boycott cannot be considered a handicap in going ahead with this ‘noble’ task.
