Another
conspiracy in vogue
Prof Ali Sukhanver
Sheikh Sa'adi, a renowned Muslim philosopher once said, “I don’t have
time to hate those who hate me because I remain busy in loving those who love
me.” Love and hatred, liking and disliking are the most common and very natural
passions. Sometimes hatred and love are passions without any reason and without
any base but most of the time there are solid grounds on which the castles of
love and hatred are erected high. Not only at individual or personal level but
also on international level the story of love and hatred goes on the same way.
Just look at the state of affairs in Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran and in Pakistan,
people hate US. A recent survey organized by the Pew Research Center Washington
regarding the popularity of US in Pakistan says, “Roughly three-in-four
Pakistanis (74%) consider the U.S. an enemy, up from 69% last year and 64%
three years ago. And President Obama is held in exceedingly low regard. Indeed,
among the 15 nations surveyed in both 2008 and 2012 by the Pew Global Attitudes
Project, Pakistan is the only country where ratings for Obama are no better
than the ratings President George W. Bush received during his final year in
office”. This hatred has no doubt very solid reasons and very realistic
grounds. In the name of so-called war on terror and in the name of suspicious
desire for peace, the US policy makers have deprived the people of all these
countries particularly the people of Pakistan of all peace and prosperity. When
we analyze the situation particularly with reference to Pakistan, we find this
passion of hatred not alone for the US but for India also. Be it the worsening
law and order situation of Balochistan or incidents of targeted killings in
Karachi or suicidal attacks in Khyber PakhtunKhwa, the Indian intelligence
agencies are active everywhere and unfortunately most of these notorious
activities of India are strongly patronized by the US. Though the security
agencies of Pakistan are doing all their best possible to counter the
involvement of Indian agencies in Pakistan but they have their own limitations.
With their limited resources, the security agencies of Pakistan have been
trying successfully to compete with the agents of the CIA, MI6, Mossad and the
RAW for the last many years and it is simply the skill and devotion of
Pakistani security agencies that US has yet not succeeded in its plan of
disintegrating Pakistan in collaboration with India. Unfortunately in spite of
having the knowledge that India is playing a very poisonous role in making
Pakistan destabilized, some media houses in Pakistan, some journalists and some
NGOs are continuously trying to popularize the idea of Indo-Pak friendship.
They are doing their all efforts to give a false impression to the people of
Pakistan and to the world around that solution to all problems of Pakistan lies
in cordial and friendly relationship with India. They are also propagating the
thought that no one but only the Armed forces of Pakistan are creating
hindrances in the way to Indo-Pak friendly relationship.As far as the idea of
cordial relationship with the neighbours is concerned, no one in Pakistan is
against this idea but as far as role of India is concerned, India in itself is
a problem not a solution to the problems. Just glance at the state of affairs
particularly in the last two decades, you would find a lot of disturbances
regarding water issues, insurgencies, terrorism, spy-networking and defaming of
Pakistan at international level; all supported by India. Here I remember the
prediction of some prominent Indian congressmen like Pundit Jawaharlal Nehru,
Vallahbahi Patel, Kirpalani and others that the truncated state of Pakistan
will collapse and fall apart within two to five years. From the day one they
were of the opinion that Pakistan is not economically, geographically,
politically, racially or culturally a viable state. Now the whole of Indian
machinery is trying its best to make this prediction true. The Armed Forces of Pakistan have no
practical role in creating hindrances in the way to Indo-Pak cordial
relationship. The Pakistan Army is purely a professional institution which
works under the direct command of the democratically elected government of
Pakistan. The army has nothing to do with the making of policies and doing
decisions regarding Pakistan’s relations with the neighbouring countries. The
responsibility of the Pakistan army is just to look after the borders of the
country and chain down the culprits who pose to be a threat to the solidarity
and sovereignty of the country and in this reference the army is always guided
and directed by the government of Pakistan. But at the same time it is next to
impossible for the army to extend a hand of friendship to those who always
dream of proving Pakistan a failed state.The Indian lobby in Pakistan is
now-a-days earnestly working for the approval of free-trade facilities between
Pakistan and India. If unluckily approved, such trade policy would prove a
catastrophic disaster for Pakistan. The ever-worst energy crisis in Pakistan
has badly affected the industrial sector. The industrial units which have the
capacity of working round the clock are compelled to work only for six to eight
hours a day. This situation is not only making lives of the labourers a hell
but also increasing the cost of production. If a free-trading policy is
introduced between Pakistan and India, the industrialists of Pakistan would not
be able to compete with the Indian products which would be no doubt cheaper in
rates but inferior in quality at the same time. Ultimately the industrialists
in Pakistan would either shift their machinery and investment to Bangladesh or
to India or they would become importers rather than manufacturers. This
situation is very much alarming. In the name of friendship we must not allow
our enemy to shatter and scatter the very foundations of our country.Sheikh
