A Layman’s Anger: The Weak Response By Pakistani Politicians & Military

God forbid if anything happens to our country then it will not only be the fault of our corrupt leaders like President Zardari, Defense Minister Ahmed Mukhtar, Rehman Malik and other similar leaders but also the military establishment which could have prevented such corrupt leaders from staying in power.

Dear Mr. Ahmed Quraishi,

Reference to the recent Pak-India tension due to the Mumbai terror attack and its aftermath, me and my family have seen with great interest and enthusiasm the TvOne News talk show in which your good self and Mr. Zaid Hamid were informing us, and have also studied your website.

It is so encouraging that you have been able to inform the nation that the Mumbai attacks appear to be orchestrated by the Indians themselves and not by Pakistanis as been blamed by the and Western media.

This is all common sense and even a child can tell that at this stage when Pakistan is itself under the direct threat of U.S. attacks from the West and bleeding due to our own terror problems why should someone from Pakistan go and organize a terror attack within India and start another problem for us. It is all a plan of India to make best use of this time when Pakistan is already weakened by years of unrest and carry acts of aggression against our country with the assistance of U.S. and Israel.

At the same time one is deeply shocked and disturbed at the stance of our so-called elected and Democratic Government and how our own President has blamed our ‘non State elements’ for the Mumbai attack. The Government never seriously tried to counter Indian allegations and no Government official or even the Military establishment has put forward the facts and proofs of Hindu terrorists’ involvement in the Mumbai terror attacks. I am surprised that if you and Zaid Hamid can so clearly point out the involvement of the Hindu terrorists then why not our Government and Military is making use of this evidence and why is our Government not telling the international community of this conspiracy against us? On the contrary our ‘leaders’ are kneeling down under the pressure put on us by India and the U.S. and even carrying out operations against groups like Lashkar Taiba who have nothing to do with this act.

It seems the Government is acting on behalf of our enemies and not on behalf of our nation.

Why is our Government so spineless?   Why is the Military establishment letting all this happen?  Where is the pride of our nation and our military? How can we expect such leaders to defend our country in case Indians decide to wage a full scale war and I believe they will as they will never have such golden opportunity again especially if we have such pathetic and hopeless leadership.

God forbid if anything happens to our country then it will not only be the fault of our corrupt leaders like President Zardari, Defense Minister Ahmed Mukhtar, Rehman Malik and other similar leaders but also the military establishment which could have prevented such corrupt leaders from gaining power and ensured that a more capable leadership was at the helm of affairs at this crucial times when our survival is at stake.

I believe that it is the duty of all of us now to put pressure on our current military establishment including the three service chiefs, core commanders and the ISI leadership to remove our corrupt leadership and make sure that more strong and patriotic leaders should be at the helm of affairs who are more suited to lead the country during such crisis period.

At the same time our Military establishment should urgently approach Chinese leadership and try to make a defense pact to ensure our security in case our enemies undertake any act of aggression like surgical strikes within Pakistan or a full scale invasion. We need backing of China at this crucial time as both Pakistan and China are targets of our common enemies and it is in the interest of both countries to immediately enter strategic defense pact. Such a pact can tell the United States, India and Israel that Pakistan is not alone and has the solid backing of a superpower and can prevent any war in this region.

Time is running out for us and we all need to act fast before it is too late.

God Bless Pakistan.

“Even after the published news [about the questionable credibility of Indian claims], Pakistani Government will continue to arrest its own people, and the international media [read: British and American] and its Indian partners will continue to blame Pakistan. Shame on all Pakistani politicians for their apologetic attitude and I need to say that our Army is also continuously preying on our trust by letting all ‘ghaddars‘ do whatever they want … Pakistani Army does not need war with India to get our nation united, but a strong and vociferous Army leaders’ stance will make us united. Gen. Kayani should have better posture in the media. He should stop talking with his colleagues only. It is time to talk to the people of Pakistan. We want a voice that does not defend us, we want a voice that attacks and takes on the evil designs. If our strategy is to appease, the enemies’ strategy is long term and fatal.”
