Will The Pak Army Capitulate Before This Sinister Offensive?

“Act against militants or face international isolation, civilians tell military”.
This is the exclusive report by some Cyril Almeida on the front page of DAWN— a newspaper more English than the English. It raises some fundamental questions that some one really needs to answer to satisfy the people of Pakistan.
Before I move on with these questions I can’t resist the temptation to ask the editors of DAWN about the gender, the nationality and the faith of this Cyril Almeida who has taken so many pains to assemble her or his thoughts and construct what in journalistic expression is known as a desk report.
Quite clearly this desk report has been constructed at the behest of a ‘mindset’ that wants Pakistan to go down on its knees before both Washington and New Delhi by accepting all their demands regarding “taking to task all such persons and organizations in the country that are known to have championed the cause of Kashmir quite spiritedly and militantly”. And quite clearly too this ‘mindset’ is shaped not by any ideology but by the quintessential requisites of ‘trade’.
It will not be an out-of-place observation to state here that in special circumstances ‘conscience’ fetches more money and power than any other merchandize.
Now the questions that the DAWN report raises: (1) Who is running our foreign policy? Mian Nawaz Sharif? John Kerry? Narendar Modi? (2) Whose ideas have been given words by our foreign secretary (if the report has some truth) Mian Nawaz Sharif’s ? Or Narendar Modi’s? (3) Who is behind this ‘grand coherent effort’ visible in the current developments to blunt the ‘excessive’ patriotism of the Pak Army leadership and to find the ‘realisation’ of the notorious Memogate affair? And (4) Will General Raheel Sharif capitulate before this sinister plan to lay the foundations of a road map that will lead to Islamabad’s subordination to New Delhi?
