Pakistan is a peace loving country and has been subjected to worse
kind of terrorism. All amicable efforts to negotiate with the terrorist outfits
have failed. In fact, Indian covert and overt activities against the federation
of Pakistan had led to the
separation of the former East Pakistan in
1971. Now, India has been
promoting sub-nationalism in Baluchistan,
Khyber Paktunkhwa, Sindh and even among the Karachiates (Mohajirs). New Delhi has been exploiting sub-nationalist elements
locally and abroad as proxies against Pakistan.
These sub-nationalist parties have never protested against
the killing of innocent women, children and men at the hands of their militant
groups. Has ever, journalist community questioned them about this aspect? These
terrorist groups abduct, kidnap and then kill innocent Balochs, Sindhis and
Punjabis to strengthen their case of missing persons and extra-judicial
killings to distort the image of Pakistan and its security agencies
abroad.
To affect the flourishing relations of Pakistan and China, Baloch secessionists have
been directed to step up their activities on China-Pakistan Economic Corridor
(CPEC). Indian secret agency RAW has created a heavily funded China-Pakistan
specific desk to sabotage growing Pak-China-
Afghanistan
relations.
Since April 20, 2015 when Islamabad
and Beijing signed 51 agreements for cooperation
in various fields, related to CPEC project, India
which is hand in glove with the sub-nationalists has accelerated terror-attacks
inside Pakistan
to discourage this project.
In this regard, on May 13, this year, at least 45 people
were killed when gunmen brutally opened fire on a bus of the Ismaili community
in Karachi.
Ahmed Marwat, a spokesman for Jundullah which is the affiliated group of the
Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan
(TTP), claimed responsibility for the bus attack. Without any doubt, Karachi bus incident is a handy work of RAW to sabotage
the CPEC by showing that if Pakistan
government is not able to provide security to its citizens, how it can protect
CPEC. Ismailis belong to Hunza (Gilgit/Baltistan) or have a spiritual linkage
with this area, are Pakistanis. The CPEC would also originate from the same
region. Besides, on April 11, this year, gunmen killed 20 laborers at a dam
construction site in the Turbat district of Baluchistan. On May 29, 20 people
were killed when unknown militants opened fire at the kidnapped passengers in
Mastung area of Balochistan—after abduction of two buses.
India knows that the establishment of CPEC between deep Gwadar
seaport of Balochistan and the historic Silk Road city in western
regions-Xinjiang of China
will connect Gilgit-Baltistan through Khunjerab Pass.
Beijing would
also build an international airport at Gwadar, while the roads infrastructure
in Gwadar would link the communication network of rest of the country to
facilitate transportation of goods. As New Delhi
has been opposing this Pak-China project which will make Pakistan an economic power, hence, it has been
destabilizing Pakistan
by creating unrest in the Balochistan province.
Undoubtedly, some foreign anti-Pakistan forces, especially
RAW are making efforts to weaken Pakistan, and especially Balochistan by
promoting acrimonious sense of dissent, political volatility, sectarian
violence, deteriorating law and order situation and arousing sentiments of
separatism. India is leading
terrorist activities in the Balochistan by using the soil of Afghanistan,
harbouring and financing terrorists and projecting them as freedom fighters.
In this respect, Dr Allah Nazar is a terrorist hailing from
Awaran, Balochistan. He is being directly supported by Indian RAW to commit
heinous crimes against humanity, requiring state reaction to safeguard the life
and property of its citizens. Killing men, women and children, attacks on women
university students, armed forces, members of the law-enforcing agencies and
blowing up of electric pylons as well as gas pipelines are part of the
anti-Pakistan scheme. In a sane society, how such acts could be counted as
deeds of a liberation movement.
While, in May, 2013, a day before Chinese Premier Li
Keqiang arrived in Islamabad; Chinese engineers
being driven through Clifton Block-1 in Karachi
escaped a major bomb attack. As regards anti-China diplomacy, Afghanistan has
become a hub from where external secret agencies like RAW and Israeli Mossad
have been assisting subversive activities in other parts of
Pakistan—particularly in Balochistan through their affiliated militant groups like
TTP, BLA, BLF etc. including Jundullah at the cost of Pakistan, China and Iran.
In the past few years, they abducted and killed many Chinese and Iranian
nationals in Pakistan,
and claimed responsibility for their terror-acts.
It is notable that Indian former Army Chief Gen. VK Singh
openly admitted that during his tenure, he supervised special army unit,
Tactical Support Division (TSD) on the instructions of the then defence
minister to sponsor subversive in Pakistan, particularly Balochistan.
Although New Delhi has been
destabilizing all regional states through its well-planned and deliberated
strategy, however, its major focus has always been towards Pakistan.
In this connection, Indian Defence Minister, Manohar
Parrikar, while using the Hindi phrase “kante se kanta nikalna’ (removing a
thorn with a thorn) assertively said, on May 23, this year, “We have to
neutralise terrorists through terrorists only…why does my soldier have to do
it…the issue could not be discussed beyond this…there are certain things that I
obviously cannot discuss here.”
The Indian defence minister’s open statement has proved
that India is sponsoring
terrorism in Pakistan,
and RAW is playing this nefarious role.
It is mentionable that unlike the Indian-backed Afghan
President Hamid Karzai, President Ashraf Ghani realized that Afghanistan and Pakistan are facing similar
challenges of terrorism and will combat this threat collectively. During the
visit of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and army chief General Raheel Sharif to Kabul, on May 18, this year, the two countries signed the
security agreement—Pakistan’s
ISI and Afghanistan’s
National Directorate of Security (NDS) to share intelligence and conduct
coordinated operations against terrorists. Now, frequent visits of Pak-Afghan
civil and military leaders to each other’s country also irritate New Delhi.
However, besides terror-assaults in various regions of Pakistan, simultaneously, sub-nationalist
political parties have been activated to cry foul against CPEC and Chinese
investment in Pakistan.
For the purpose, SANA, WSI, WSC and other
sub-nationalist organizations are directed to spit venomous propaganda against Pakistan by
alleging so-called human rights abuses, killing of sub-nationalist elements in
Balochistan, Sindh etc.
While, being a democratic country, Pakistan has
never attempted any action against the sub-nationalists parties; however, the
country has showed undaunted resolution to check militancy of all kinds.
In this context, Pakistan’s law-enforcing agencies
in Balochistan have been carrying out action against terrorists like Allah
Nazar, Marris and Bugtis who created “no go areas” and challenged the writ of
the government.
Nevertheless, India
which is hand in glove with the sub-nationalists continues exploiting these
elements so as to weaken the federation of Pakistan.
