Politics aside, India must be confronted now. The National Security
Conference is a welcome step but the government must shun its
apologetic attitude when it clearly knows that the nation stands
united. We should be prepared for the worst.  Pakistani military
should be re-deployed to the eastern borders immediately. Patriotic
Pashtun tribesmen and military reserves should be called in to make up
for the shortages on the western frontiers. If they want a war, let’s
give them one.

The Mumbai fiasco is a tragedy that not only highlights the Indian
establishment’s sinister agenda but also reflects how dumb their
organizations are in carrying out such dirty operations against their
own people. India is taking advantage of Pakistan’s internal chaos.
Pakistan must now be ready for any eventuality.

Human life is sacred and the brutal acts of terrorism in Mumbai must
be condemned. But as expected the Indians within hours of being struck
put the entire blame on Pakistan, without even the basic preliminary
investigations.

The Mumbai blasts have done the fascist Hindu extremists in India’s
political-military establishment much good, beyond any expectations.
The entire world’s focus has been shifted from Indian State terrorism
in Kashmir to the Mumbai story, giving India a chance to play the role
of a lamb, an innocent victim.

Muslims in India are conveniently being singled out as the sole source
of terror even though India has numerous separatists movements spread
across 200 districts of the country. Moreover, the Mumbai tragedy
presents the Indian government and the military as heroes in the fight
against terror.

Let it be known that before these attacks there was conclusive proof
that the Indian military was being infiltrated by fascists belonging
to various political-militant movements and the Congress-led
government was losing ground to the reinvigorated BJP, which is a
front for Hindu extremists and terrorists. But like most of their soap
operas, the immature Indian media and the government failed to live up
to their own ‘rising’ standards.

Any person with a reasonable intellectual level would ask a few
questions to the Indian authorities:

 Why was the Indian Navy unable to track down a bunch of Pakistani
boats when it arrests hundreds of Pakistani fishermen regularly?
If the ISI is capable enough to wreak such havoc on a bustling city
like Mumbai, would the agency be foolish enough to send terrorists
into the hot zone with mobile SIMS and identity cards?
Why take a U-turn and then state that the militants had been hiding in
Mumbai for a month?  Would a Muslim ever wear the orange arm band that
terrorists of the BJP do?

The Indians simply do not have the answers and their stupidity in
implementing their sinister agenda is certainly exceptional.

Indian ‘black cat’ commandoes couldn’t clear the Taj Hotel for days
even though only a handful of militants had taken positions inside it.
On top of that, the Indians stormed a Jewish center which resulted in
the hostages being killed as well. These people do not even have a
basic idea on how to carry out antiterrorist operations and they have
the audacity to teach Pakistan how to counter insurgencies!

Also note that the Indians did not bother to negotiate with the
militants. They simply went in all guns blazing.  You know why?
Because they had already committed so many blunders that they had no
other option.

The Pakistani ‘democratic’ government, as usual, made foolish
decisions without even consulting the Parliament or the armed forces.
The decision to send the ISI chief Gen. Pasha was a childish.

Politics aside, India must be confronted now. The National Security
Conference is a welcome step but the government must shun its
apologetic attitude when it clearly knows that the nation stands
united. Obama has endorsed Mukherjee’s threat of attacking across the
border in self-defense. The U.S. government has also raised concerns
that some militants could have come from Pakistan.

We should be prepared for the worst.  Pakistani military should be re-
deployed to the eastern borders immediately. Patriotic Pashtun
tribesmen and military reserves should be called in to make up for the
shortages on the western frontiers. This would send a clear signal to
the Americans to stay clear of the area.

If they want a war, let’s give them one. H Gulzar
