Never before in recent memory has India been put onto defensive in such a breath-taking manner and so completely as now due to ISI’s stunning and sterling new achievement that I want to name as ‘Kalbhushan Catch.”
The only explanation for Commander Kalbhushan Jadhav being found (and arrested) on Pakistan’s soil that India has been able to come up with is that he certainly had served in the Indian Navy but had retired long time back, and India as a state has nothing to do with his recent activities as a businessman. As per this explanation Jadhav was running a cargo business through a self-owned ship. Unfortunately for India, this explanation fails to tell why Kalbhushan Jadhav had to embrace Islam, and adopt a Muslim name (Hussain Mubarak Patel). Even that can be explained but what is the explanation of him carrying a fake passport? In the language of international espionage this is known as a COVER. RAW had to invest years to establish this COVER so that Kalbhushan could conduct his operations successfully. And he was much more than a SPY. He was an assigned handler of establishing a network of sabotage and terrorist acts designed to destabilize our society and our country.
It would be a woodenheaded simplicity to believe that he was India’s lone handler of terror in Pakistan. There are likely to be more Hussain Mubarak Patels amidst us. All of them have to be found, and their networks busted.
While ISI has done its job magnificently, our civil government has yet to respond to the challenge that this ‘Kalbhushan Catch’ poses. Jadhav (or Patel) is not just a person. He is a Smoking Gun.
The first we have been able to find. We don’t need any further proof of India’s involvement in the terrorist activities in Baluchistan. But it seems, the pacifists of our country are in control of our Prime Minister’s mind. I have good reasons to call these pacifists “Pakistan’s Bharat Lobby.”
