Let there be no doubt about India’s designs. The gradually rising level of escalation of a mini-war along the borders is clearly aimed at testing Pakistan’s ability to absorb ‘punishment’. Our army has been responding potently and befittingly to the Indian acts of aggression but our government is ill-prepared to go beyond certain routine statements of either protest or condemnation on the part of the Prime Minister’s two mutually hostile mouth-pieces running the foreign ministry.
The Prime Minister is so completely drawn into the power-game and so comprehensively engaged in a complicated exercise in self-preservation, that he simply has no time for coming on record with a direct message to the Prime Minister of India regarding the consequences of unprovoked aggression against Pakistan.
This is the first time in our history that we have in the PM House a man who is far more worried about the possible losses in his business with India (in case the mini-war escalates further), than about the consequences of avoiding a proactive “India-policy”.
It has always been argued in the West that Pakistan’s Military Leadership has always been India-specific, which is why the quest for peace remains fruitless.
The truth is that India has a long-term “Pakistan-policy” in which there is a systematic plan to destabilize our country through overt as well as covert acts of war. India has not, accepted and will never accept the creation of Pakistan as a permanent change in the map of the sub-continent.
The surge of Hindutva is not a temporary phenomenon. It will go on at continuously increasing tempo.
Pakistan can’t afford to have a government that has no comprehension of history and isn’t alive to the truth that India can only be confronted, not befriended. Pakistan needs potent and proactive leadership with ability to put India onto defensive.
