Is Prime Minister Narendra Modi
out to stage a Gujarat like massacre of Muslims, yet again? Is he attempting to
compel the Muslims of India to rise and struggle for making another Pakistan
within India? Hasn’t he revived the Two Nation Theory once again, which the
liberals in Pakistan had buried ‘after the goals were achieved’? Are Modi’s men
all set to tear apart the Gandhian and Nehruvian policy of peaceful
co-existence?
The continuous wave of extremist violence against Pakistan, Muslim minority in
India, and against visitors from Pakistan is not individual acts of mere
disturbance but it seems to be a coordinated and conceived plot. The spate of
violence does not start with the throwing of ink on Khurshid Mehmood Qasuri’s
host or lynching to death of a Muslim father and son on Eid-ul-Azha for eating
‘beef’. Already a number of incidents of violence have regularly occurred; each
meant to trigger probably a Gujarat like violence, so that Modi’s Shiv Sena may
stage a replay of the massacre of Muslims, once again. The humiliation of
Muslims is aimed at instigating them to agitate so the Hindu hooligans take them
head on. Or the consequences of this violence may pave a way for launching an
attack on Pakistan.
Only in one day, on October 18, a series of events took place across India,
which sends alarm bells for Pakistan, especially the Muslim minority in India.
Ink was thrown, yet again, on an independent lawmaker from IHK, Engineer Rashid,
by a mob in Delhi when he was on a visit to Delhi Press Club. He was attacked
over his stance on the beef ban issue. “People talk of Talibanization of
Pakistan, look what is happening in India… They are mentally ill. 80,000 people
have died in Kashmir, putting ink on one Engineer Rashid will not change
anything,” Rashid said. A day before, he was beaten up by BJP men in Srinagar
after he allegedly hosted a ‘beef party’.
In another development India cancelled a meeting between Pakistan and Indian
cricket boards officials after the Shiv Sena hooligans stormed the BCCI’s Mumbai
office. The activists crashed through the gates of the office in Mumbai’s
Wankhede Stadium chanting anti-Pakistan slogans and demanding Shahryar Khan’s
and Najam Sethi’s immediate return. The goons could be seen entering Manohar’s
office and crowding around his desk, shouting slogans and appearing determined
to stop him from meeting the PCB chief.
TV news channels reported the same day that the family of a Karachi-based
Pakistan citizen, Inayat Ali, was denied accommodation in the hotels of the
Bhendi Bazaar area of Mumbai. The family visited 40 hotels, but all of them
refused to give them a room because “the family did not possess the draconian
Form C.” This news might have sparked an outrage amongst the Pakistani public,
but, on the contrary, the world witnessed a show of tolerance and enlightenment
of Pakistani man living in Islamabad. Iqbal Latif, who runs 26 franchises of
international food outlet ‘Dunkin Donut’ in Islamabad, Lahore and Peshawar, took
a step to show how Pakistanis welcome their neighbours, which also emulates
Gandhi's teachings. In the next few hours, all the food outlets had banners with
an announcement offering free meals to any Indians visiting Pakistan on a
short-term visa. The banner was inscribed with Pakistani and Indian flags.
In another incident was reported by the Indian media. Two Muslim youths, Asif
Sheikh and Danish Sheikh, were thrashed by police inspector Kedar Pawar and
others, who were on night duty, in the Bandra police station jurisdiction. While
thrashing, “Pawar asked the two to leave India, go and live in Pakistan.”
As Syed Nayyarud Din Ahmed observes, the attack on BCCI HQ at Mumbai, and other
incidents – lynching to thrashing and manhandling to murder – seem to be a
pre-planned scheme of RAW controlled BJP government, which is proved by the
pictures of BCCI chief, who was casually sitting, smiling and talking with the
so-called attackers, as if, they were his guests. “The body language of the BCCI
president Shashank Manohar said it all.” The whole drama was enacted to put PCB
chairman under pressure, to accept whatever offer they (RAW, BJP & BCCI) were
giving to the PCB; should be accepted by the chairman PCB.
From inside, the BCCI is afraid of the following two consequences: If India
refuses to play with Pakistan in the UAE, then there is a chance that BCB may
agree to visit Pakistan, after their Australian tour setback and the treatment
meted out to the BCB by the big three, where India didn't support them at all,
and Pakistan fully supported their cause; Secondly if Pakistan, as a
retaliation, refuses to play the T20 match vs India in the coming World Cup, it
will result in huge financial loss along with big loss of face. As such, the
Indians want to give Shehryar a lollipop of a meaningless short series with
India, or a tri series including the BD team, to keep PCB subservient of its
grand scheme, of not letting it get off the hook.
Already the filth being emitted out of the mouths of Indian ministers is not
only intentional but hysterical too. Psychologists are unison on the myth that
there exists no kind of sense of superiority, but the apparent sense of
superiority is actually the complex of inferiority. In order to conceal one's
timidity one exaggerates and tries to snub the other in order to satisfy his
inner complex. “In fact Indian threats are manifestation of their incompetency
to be a match of Pakistan in any field,” says an editorial, adding, “therefore,
in order to suppress such inferiority complex they are barking and shouting at
Pakistan.”
They are not happy with Pakistan China Economic Corridor, which indeed has
become a real nightmare for India, vis a vis an insurmountable hurdle in the
realization of dream of India to be a mini superpower of South Asia. India is
also not pleased to see Pakistan extending cordial and fruitful ties with
Russia, Germany and Brazil. New Delhi is also not happy with the successful
heading towards logical culmination of Operation Zarb-e-Azb, because it has
dismantled RAW’s networks, which Indian Security Advisor Ajit Doval claimed to
have been working with 30,000 agents. India has also got a severe blow to its
sabotage and insurgency sponsoring in Balochistan province. While most of the
Baloch people are surrendering arms and returning to mainstream, India sees its
plots foiled and face exposed. In a small valley of Kashmir India has deployed
ten hundred thousand army. What else can be brought the biggest example of
Indian cowardice?
Ahmed Rashid, the author of “Descent into Chaos”, spoke to Talat Hussain in his
talk show the other day. He informed the audience that the United States has
pursued Modi to hold talks with his Pakistani counterpart, but the Indian prime
minister refused. “What I feel is Modi government is preparing to launch an
attack against Pakistan.” The well informed South Asia observer that he is
cannot give such a statement without checking its authenticity. Pakistan needs
to be extra vigilant on hand, and on the other hand the world community must
take immediate notice of this madness to save South Asia from entering into a
horrible future.
