THE WALL AROUND THE CASTLE

By ALI SUKHANVER

I still remember that violent stormy night when a little portion of the boundary wall of my house came down with a loud thud. Although the house itself was very much safe and solid yet I could not be at ease throughout the night. Unfortunately the chowkidar Gul Khan was also hindered by the storm.

If he were there I would not be so much upset by the fallen wall. Boundaries are really very important and more important are the guards. If the walls are solid and the guards are sincere and the people living inside are vigilant, no harm could come to the house. The army of a country plays the role of the wall and the guard at the same time. That is the reason that wise countries are always very much concerned about their army. They spend more on defense affairs than any other thing. The army and the intelligence agencies are everywhere treated as the privileged class. This distinctive inclination is simply because of the services these organizations render to the nation.

The Pakistan army and the ISI both have been pinching the world for the last many years; a lot of blames and a lot of allegations. In spite of playing a very vital role in the US war on terror and in spite of bearing grave losses, the US authorities are always in a strange state of dilemma, all time questioning the sincerity of these sacred institutions of Pakistan. And more painful for the US authorities is the nuclear programme of Pakistan which is always guarded and protected by the Pakistan army in collaboration with the ISI. It seems that the actual target of the US authorities is the nuclear programme of Pakistan and they are very well aware of the reality that without weakening these two institutions, the programme can never be approached.

For the last many years, we can notice so many international efforts to distort the image of the PakistanPakistan army and the people of Pakistan. Recently the reaction reflected by the western countries and particularly by IndiaPakistan reflects the same hidden desire. It is surely the responsibility of the world independent media and impartial think-tanks to condemn such malicious dreams and heinous desires.   army and the Pakistani intelligence agencies, not only at the world level but even in the eyes of the Pakistani nation. These countries are always dreaming of a widening gulf between the on the peace accord between the Talibans and the government of

The peace accord between the Government of Pakistan and the Shareeat-e-Mohammadi movement in the tribal lands of Pakistan seems a harbinger of a new era, an era full of serene sublimity and a sacred tranquility. Although the peace accord is still in process, yet the people of Pakistan are quite sure of its positive results .The implementation of the Sharia Law in the beautiful valley of Swat and the pact between the Talibans and the government of Pakistan, are two marvelous achievements, certainly not very much amusing for the forces which have been continuously striving their best to make Pakistan a barren wasteland. Such forces are trying to distort this peace pact by their statements based on baseless apprehensions. Peace should be a world desire. Disturbance in any part of the world directly or indirectly affects the whole world. Why are the efforts for peace in the tribal areas of Pakistan giving birth to unknown fears in the hearts of the western countries and particularly of India? It seems that these forces do not want stability in Pakistan. If Pakistan takes any measures for the improvement of the law and order situation within its boundaries, it is purely an internal affair and no one need bother about it.

As far as India is concerned, its restlessness of is nothing new and strange. It is a built-in characteristic of India to interfere its neighbouring countries and create problems for them by hook or by crook. Just look at the Mumbai terror blasts, they were purely the result of inadequacy and inefficiency of the Indian law and order enforcing agencies but India is still craving  to blame Pakistan for this terror disaster. How ridiculous; a country which officially patronizes terrorist activities, whose armed forces have always been supporting the uniformed terrorists like Colonel Prohat ; which is the mother land of the terrorists like Prabhakran and where innocent passengers are burnt alive under the official supervision ,just because they were the Muslims, is blaming a peace loving country like  Pakistan.   

India has been trying to prove it since long that Pakistan is a terrorist state. It is a haven for the terrorists and particularly the tribal areas of Pakistan are a fertile land for the terrorists. The Indian media has been trying to portray Pakistan as a failing state where there is neither the supremacy of law nor the presence of any law-enforcing agency. Through propaganda war the religious schools; Deeni Madarsas; are being blamed for bringing up the terrorists and extremists. All these Indian efforts are to make the Americans realize that the nuclear assets of Pakistan can any time go into the hands of the terrorists. The same type of blame-war is being wagged against the ISI and the Pakistan Army. Just to prove Pakistan a terrorist state, She stages different dramatic events on  her own soils and blames Pakistan and particularly  the ISI ,considering it the main defence line of Pakistan,. India plans different ethnic and sectarian riots in PakistanPakistan is facing the worst law and order situation. Above all it is continuously trying to defame the Talibans with the help of RAW agents who disguise themselves as the Talibans and promote terrorist activities in the tribal areas of Pakistan. All these are nothing but a futile attempt to defame Pakistan as an insecure nuclear state whose nuclear assets could fall into the hands of the extremists and terrorists any time. Indian hue and cry over the peace accord in Swat very clearly exposes her hidden intentions. She desires for a continuous state of civil war in the tribal areas of Pakistan because a peaceful Pakistan might become a challenge for her pseudo supremacy in the South-Asian region. to show the world that

 

India should pay attention towards her own home ground which is a very fertile land for the new-born terrorists. The story ‘Achievements of Colonel Prasad Prohat’ is not on the last page of the book of Indian state terrorism; there are so many others bearing the same title. The tale of the Hindu radical group Abhinav Bharat could be of much interest for those who love to see beneath the surface. This group claims to be a Hindu nationalist organization .It is based mainly in Maharashtra in India. The group gained prominence when its members were arrested for perpetrating the Malegoan bombing. At present this group is led by the grand daughter of Savarkar who was the founder of this terrorist organization, and a relative of Nathuram Godse, the assassin of Mahatma Gandhi. The Abhinav Bharat’s only aim is to throw the Muslims out of the Indian lands. They claim that India is only for the Hindus, and the Muslims have nothing to do with India. So many Indian army officers are the member of this organization and they provide all type of technical and financial support to the terrorist activities of this organization.  Col.Prasad Prohat is also one of such well wishers of this terrorist group. The Malegoan incident and the brutal attacks on the Samjhota Express are two minor glimpses of the ‘noble activities’ of this organization. Here is an extract from the case filed by the Maharashtra ATS during the investigation of the Malegoan blasts, “It was a conspiracy that had taken over seven months and it result in the September 29 Malegoan blast. The objectives were actually much larger and far reaching than the six lives it claimed. The 14 conspirators of the terror attack had planned to take over the country and establish a Hindu Rashtra with its own constitution and a saffron national flag. At the helm of affairs of this conspiracy is a serving army officer — LtCol Prasad Srikant Prohat, who had floated a Hindu radical group — Abhinav Bharat.”

What do the Indian authorities say about such terrorist organizations as Abhinav Bharat; What about the so-called sons-of-the land like Prohat; And how could be the Indian nuclear program in safe hands in the presence of such monstrous characters. These characters are like a wall around the castle of terrorism and this castle belongs to India.
