Is India really interested in resolving all outstanding issues?
By Guest Blogger • Jul 22nd, 2009 • Category: Politics • 11 CommentsWhile Pakistan is seriously doing its best to link home grown under clouds groups with Mumbai attacks but things appears not working. India must refrain from putting too much pressure because in that case innocent groups and individuals may be prosecuted for face saving. Although the militants killed during Mumbai also comprised of Maoists and Tamils and other Indian indigenous home grown elements but India till to-date is not linking them with Mumbai attacks.
A few days back on July 11, Maoist carried out attacks in Chhattisgarh, brutally killing 30 Indian Police officials including Superintendent of Poilice (SP), Vinod Kumar Choubey. Ironically, India government in this case is hesitating to call it terrorism and is referring it as violence. India has come up with a new claim that there was no evidence of local help for the gunmen involved in the November 26 Mumbai attacks and a series of calls made by Lashkar-e-Taiba handlers prior to the attacks was only to keep the internet telephony account active. In this regard, Joint Commissioner of Police (Crime) Rakesh Maria said that they have verified every call that was made to India including the random ones and there was no evidence of local support found. India claims that the statements of all the persons who received calls had been recorded and nothing suspicious had been found about them and also that handlers called numbers randomly which is evident since the calls lasted only between 30 to 40 seconds. Ironically, even an ordinary citizen of any country can make out from the photographs of militants involved in Mumbai attacks, released to press in November 2008, that majority of them had no resemblance with Pakistanis. However, Indian government is still adamant that there was no evidence of local help for the gunmen involved in the Mumbai attacks.
India, in renewed efforts, has started a proactive blame game against Pakistan in order to internationally defame Islamabad as perpetrator of terrorists’ activities on Indian soil. Allegations are being leveled on Pakistan that it has trained at least 15 terrorists at Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJ&K) to target the 450 MW Baglihar power project in Indian held Jammu and Kashmir (IHK). India claims that a secret tunnel is being dug from Sialkot to connect AJ&K with IHK to attack on Baghliar dam across Chenab at Chanderkote-Ramban. Indian intelligence also claims to have arrested two Lashkar-e-Tayyiaba (LeT) Mujahideen from the forests of Shamashabari range in Kupwara. It is true that Pakistan raised objections to Baghliar power project, claiming that it would obstruct flow of water as the size of the dam was above the normal size but the Indian propaganda is baseless.
This is a technological age in which India claims to be far ahead many countries. India acquired Radar Imaging Satellite (RISAT) from Israel, which was launched on April 20. RISAT is equipped with spying capabilities and capable of taking high-resolution images of 1 metre at night and through clouds. It is strange to observe that India has failed to release any imageries of secret tunnel being dug from Sialkot to connect AJ&K with IHK. Since there is no truth in this propaganda so India will never be able to do this. In a latest development, India has also started moving its regulars to Rajasthan area for the purpose best known to New Delhi and Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). In a recent statement Director General of Police, Harish Chandra Meena cautioned that terrorists might attack western region of Rajasthan anytime. He claims that an intelligence agency has got concrete information that lakes in the state would be attacked and that since then whole state has been put on high alert.
Director General of Police Meena disclosed that Jodhpur Police recovered a map of Jodhpur from the Mujahid who was arrested in Srinagar recently. Pakistan does not doubt Indian intentions that New Delhi is not serious to do all that is necessary to resolve outstanding issue with Pakistan but the uncalled for blame game must end from Indian side in order to develop a cordial atmosphere. As talks between India and Pakistan are going to fail in an atmosphere of suspicion and mistrust, so as a first step, confidence building measures must continue from where the point they got derailed.

“”Although the militants killed during Mumbai also comprised of Maoists and Tamils and other Indian indigenous home grown elements but India till to-date is not linking them with Mumbai attacks.”"
HHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA………..Great joke
Indian PM very clearly mentioned Maoists are India’s biggest internal threat.
Maoists mostly target policemen and CRPF jawans.
They normally DONOT kill innocent civilians EXCEPT certain political workers from certain parties.
GB
dont defy facts of history it is all on record and accepted by our interior ministry too.
Now its not India who should go ahead for resolving these issues.
They are already going ahead with US and afghnaistan for corneirng Pakistan in economical and terrorism issues.
Now Pakistan and specially military management should need to revise their polices for going ahead for actually solving our problems.

The Mumbai incident will haunt this country for long, as has the attack upon the Indian parliament earlier this century. In the vocal and verbal dangerous skirmishes indulged in by India and Pakistan since November it has transpired, and it has been admitted by Pakistan, and the world knows that the Lashkar-i-Taiba were the planners and perpetrators. Now who and what are the Lashkar? They are members of a group formed by Pakistan’s ISI to wage the Kashmir freedom fight. This is admitted and recorded. So it would not be illogical to assume that if it be the Lashkar who undertook the Mumbai operation then the members concerned could conceivably have originated in Pakistan.
Upright cavalry officer, National Security Advisor Mehmud Durrani, on Jan 7, as outspoken as ever, shot from the hip and admitted to CNN-IBN, the Indian-based subsidiary of CNN, that the lone surviving gunman from the Mumbai terrorist attacks, Mohammad Ajmal Kasab, was in fact a national of Pakistan. He was followed in line by “a senior government official”, a “spokesman” of the Foreign Office, and none less than the minister of information who, in the position she holds, presumably does have the correct information to hand, all admitting that yes, Kasab, was indeed a Pakistani. The Foreign Office person added to the confirmation of Kasab’s nationality the news that he would not be accorded any consular help — how can a national of Pakistan, non-state actor or not, be denied consular help if it is sought?
The reaction was almost immediate. Durrani was ‘sacked’ by the prime minister — not merely relieved of his post — and accused of having “tarnished” the national image (which is already in need of a good scrub and buff) and of having indulged in “irresponsible behaviour”. None of the others who had been equally outspoken in confirmation of Durrani’s statement were touched — whether they were privately reprimanded or not is not known. But we have not heard that they have been turfed out.
According to Durrani, the man to whom he officially reported, Gilani, “was unhappy that I made the statement without consulting him”. According to reports in the US press, Durrani was fired for “failing to take Mr Gilani and other stakeholders into confidence and for lack of coordination on matters of national security”.
What a bizarre turn of events, which has but brought more damage to Pakistan’s waning image. According to friend Ayaz Amir, writing in the Khaleej Times on Friday, he has it on “good authority” that Zardari called Durrani and apologised to him on the matter of his dismissal. Now we wait and see how Durrani’s Washington pals react — if at all.
Great article.
The Maoist attack on police force has made the government to call them militants and terrorists. A proper military operation was held against them. and the area that they were controlling and understood as their strong hold has been destroyed.
I hope your author of this article is aware of this, otherwise please enlighten him with this, as it appears to be asleep.
SF
I have already tried to enlighten him with authentic information.more you can add as part of your contribution for serving human minds.
Also does your author have photos of each and every person living in Pakistan, as he is sure to make a strong claim that none of them look like Pakistani.
Hi guest blogger,
Do you mean solving outstanding issues is GIVING KASHMIR IN PLATTER TO PAKISTAN, then forget it.
You as nation has reefused to honour your signature in SHIMLA AGREEMENT.
You do your thousand cuts on India and also bleed yourself. Ofcourse you survive as long as we are led by US poodles in India.Otherwise things are going to change as anger builds up in rank and file of nation slowly against our leaders.
“Is India really interested in resolving all outstanding issues?”
NO. not at all. Now that you know, you can go back to sleep. At least then, you would not be inflicting the readers with the kind of drivel you’ve posted here.
Story on tunnel from Occupied Kashmir to Baghliar dam in India is new…was not aware of it.
other than that ………just one more “artical” for tamasha.
to increase Indian web traffic.
Not a unhealthy post, did it take you numerous of time to think about it?
