Even the most woodenhead of analysts would not fail to understand why Mian Nawaz Sharif had chosen not to have a Foreign Minister. He wanted to keep this portfolio with himself with the help of his cronies inorder to facilitate the advancement of his special agenda of ‘friendship and business with India’ — an agenda that was diagonally opposite to the policies that the nation has pursued since long and the Pak Army has practiced as a cornerstone of their FAITH.
These policies are ingrained in the famous statement of the Founder of the country: KASHMIR IS PAKISTAN’S LIFELINE. Our Quaid was not a ‘warmonger’. He was a legal mind—a man so divorced from the requisites of ‘military combat’ that even to think of him as a ‘trigger-happy hawk’ is absurd. Still he was the one who had ordered Pakistan’s first military chief-an Englishman named Gracey to invade Kashmir. It was an order that General Gracey disobeyed, leaving it to the tribesmen to try to fulfil the Quaid’s dream. Kashmir to the Quaid was Pakistan’s lifeline because ‘Water is Life’ and Kashmir meant water.
India has, ever since the partition, committed itself to the GOAL of keeping Pakistan’s lifeline under its control.
BJP has been far more foxy than Congress in the sense that its leadership first under Vajpaee and now under Modi has been able to make a fool of Pakistan’s leadership under the banner of Aman ki Asha.
In 1999 Vajpaee made a fool of Mian Nawaz Sharif. In these years, Modi is doing the same with far greater success. Pakistan has been made to retreat considerably from the position that its Founder had taken, whereas Indian stance has hardened as is evident from what is happening in the Occupied Kashmir. Modi has exploited Sharif’s business dreams to create a wedge between Islamabad and Rawalpindi. The name Jindal symbolizes Mian’s dreams of building a business empire in league with his Indian counterparts.
He has known the importance of the Foreign Ministry in this regard.
Of course the GHQ has stood in his way right through the last four years. Precisely why the theory of ‘two parallel governments’ has taken roots. The Dawn Leak was all about telling the world that whereas Pakistan’s Prime Minister was a committed priest of the temple of peace, the ROGUES occupying powerful seats in Rawalpindi were compulsive trouble-makers, strife-promoters and enemies of peace.
Has General Bajwa embraced Sharif’s ‘Islam’? I hate to believe that. That would be the end of Pak Army. And of Pakistan.
Mian Nawaz Sharif is an aberration. Pakistan will outlive him and his agenda. And I have faith that Pak Army will win this conflict for the Quaid’s Pakistan.
