Is Dialogue Possible Between India & Pakistan Post Pulwama massacre?
IT is indeed an appreciable augury for the world’s largest functioning democracy that India’s civilian population have not only condemned but also called for appropriate action against the brain behind the horrendous suicide attack on a vehicle carrying CRPF personnel and killing an estimated 44 of them in South Kashmir on February 14. The nation feels outraged over the dastardly killings of the Jawans who were deployed to assist the local authorities as also to combat insurgency in the state bordering Pakistan. In the wake of the deplorable incident , India has withdrawn The Most Favoured Nation Status given to Pakistan and launched a massive diplomatic offensive globally to isolate the failed nation promoting terror attacks by its ISI abetted Jaish-e-Mohammad. India is also planning to divert water flow of three rivers to Indian states of Jammu and Kashmir and Punjab .The Pakistan based JeM had claimed the responsibility for the biggest terror attack on security forces in the state since 1989. 21 years old local terrorist Adil Dar, a school dropout, has been identified for carrying out the Pulwama attack. Security forces claim it was masterminded by JeM commander Abdul Rasheed , a Pakistani national. The IED expert reportedly was trained in Afghanistan. Pakistan as usual is in denial of involvement in the heinous crime. With all wars and Kargil Conflict fought over Kashmir, it is the Pakistan army who suffered the higher causalities. India has won all the wars. As PM Narendra Modi and his colleagues have reaffirmed “We will give a befitting reply to the western neighbour bent upon destabilizing us. Terrorism is a huge threat for global peace and stability. Brutal Pulwama incident proves that time for talks have passed. The entire world needs to unite against terrorism and its supporters. With people’s wholehearted support and backing, the Indian Army and other defence forces feel encouraged to finish off the agents of terror in Jammu & Kashmir. Corps Commander Lt Gen K J S Dhillon of the Chinar Corps said the masterminds of the Pulwama attack have been eliminated urging mothers of the youngsters to persuade their children to abhor militancy. It is needless to emphasize the misguided Kashmiri youngsters cannot be compelled to shun gun culture by taking a hawkish line only. The policy of carrot and stick should be followed to bring them back to the mainstream. It is an uphill task to convince them that it is a pipe dream and illogical to endeavour for merging the state with the army controlled regime across the international border with 66 percent Muslims, about 31 percent Hindus,1.2 per cent Buddhists and 1.06 per cent Sikh out of a total of 14.324 million population. Pakistan remains a failed state where Baluchs, Paktoons, Sindhis and some other communities besides the minorities remain deprived of human rights. Is the Islamist nation becoming economically strong? It will be wise on our part to avoid discussing the subject. It is also time for the Kashmiri youngsters to think whether they will benefit in such a scenario across LOC. The main problem is how to tackle Pakistan’s Indian proxies. Living comfortably in air conditioned environ amassing wealth, these people are responsible for radicalizing the Kashmiri youth and utilising them as fodder and functioning as mouthpieces for the junta. How can we be forgetful that the Imran Khan regime is publicly hobnobbing with Hafeez Mohammad Saeed, alleged mastermind of the Mumbai massacre on 26/11/2008? Is he not a UN designated terrorist and what action Pakistan has taken despite actionable proof given to it against him and his trigger happy gang?(courtesy:musingsofasseniorjournalist.wordpress.com & for pic to The Tribune)
