Pakistan’s Nawaz Sharifs and Raheel Sharifs

(F Z Khan, Islamabad)

Madam Hasina presented Modi the Bangladesh Award for Vajpayee to commend BJP’s role in dismembering Pakistan. Modi admitted his own role in 1971. In his speech he divulged BJP’s agenda. It’s not a diplomatic tirade, to be merely dubbed as ‘uncalled for’. This belligerence looks part of a well thought-out plot. The killing of 20 Indian soldiers in Manipur is seemed a RAW plot to rush to Myanmar and set a precedent of ‘hot pursuit’, followed by fiery statements to launching similar strikes against Pakistan. Kugalman’s tweets also suggest something big (maybe terror incident) is likely to occur very soon. It means diplomatic options have already or are quickly running out as Modi is showing intransigence. As India admits, it is not WOT but India-sponsored terrorism.

Can India go for such a ‘suicidal’ action against nuclear Pakistan? If to observers India “this time is damn serious”, they see New Delhi more confident than before as if it has got something bigger than nukes to marginalize Pakistani power, as well as a ‘go-ahead nod’ from ‘friends’ to take ‘Pakistan’s China-sponsored mega development madness’ to its knees. ‘Friends’ wanted Afghanistan’s backyard crippled, China’s corridor bid shattered, Asia-Pacific route saved, and Australia-Japan-Philippines-Korea backed blockade imposed. The US-India strategic deal, Iran nuclear go-ahead, threat to use Daesh against Pakistan army, threat to separate Balochistan, open admittance of sponsoring cross-border terror, plot to ignite ‘Balwaristan’ move in Gilgit-Baltistan – all indicate to Vikrum Suud’s recommendation for ripping apart Northern Areas to cut Pakistan’s link with China and open direct route to Afghanistan, etc.

Indians in Israeli collaboration have been talking of disbalancing region’s ecological systems, ever since the Tibet syndrome – a doctrine attributed to Modi government. Is Pakistan capable of handling such a scenario? The answer lies in its ability and capacity to surviving challenges and disasters since 1947. Mushahid H Syed rightly wonders why Modi goes against the overall regional mood towards uplift and development. None else but India, with its booming economy of course, will be the worst sufferer, because the Pakistanis are of a strange nature. They believe in live let live. They seem busy killing each other, but amazingly when common enemy challenges them, they get united and forget everything. ‘Do or die’ syndrome is their just instinct, which Modi’s men lack. They have no spine to stand and face death. How Pakistanis fought and won the enemy-imposed (now proved) asymmetrical terror war during the last one and half decades, Arun Dhati wonders only the Pakistanis could do it. In the time of need, they are all Raheel Sharifs and Nawaz Sharifs – the symbols of Zarb-e-Azb and May 28 courage.
