Pakistan and India seem to be on the road to progress. talks on all issues EXCEPT Kashmir are underway and more or less meeting success atleast to the delight of the Indians. Our coward dictator is leaving no stone unturned in leading this nation of 14 crore into dungeon full of darkness. Our leaders are trying to make us believe that we are the weakest and most positionless nation on the face of this earth and thus have no right to stand for and by the truth. At least this seems to be the story in the case of talks that were recently held between the two countries on the issue of pulling back forces from the Siachin glacier. Siachin, the highest battle ground in the world, is mostly Pakistani territory into which Indian forces sneaked in in Zia-ul-Haq's time. We have sovereign right to that piece of land this is a fact that can't be denied nor can it be dispelled by any amount of argument that is kept under the parameters of logic and sanity. Why does Musharraf call himself a soldier if he doesn't have the heart and wit to defend the sovereign frontiers of this country. This is not the first time that an army dictator has been found guilty of doing exactly opposite of what a soldier is bound to do by the law of the land he serves. Musharraf's predecessor Zia conceded this territory to the Indians in the first place and Ayub, the old man, could not oversee the fare transfer of lands after the '65 war. I regret to say that these army generals are the most incompetent of the lot. They have nothing better to do than drink and then play polo. The Kargil incident which has gained much attention in recent past was also a brain child of these generals who failed to forsee the long term consequences of their move in the broader world scenario.
Recent talks on the Siachin issue have ended with an understanding between both sides. India insists that the present positions on the glaciers be made permanent boundary and Pakistan thinks that forces must move back to the positions hey were before shimla accord and the land thus emptied of the two forces be made no man's land. I think this is totally unfair on India's part to ask for making the present positions permanent as the Indian army is actually sitting on the Pakistani territory. Again Pakistan must take heart and claim the whole territory back from the Indians instead of proposing that it be made no man's land.
Similar situation exists on the issue of Sir-creek. India is not ready to reach any settlement that is not in its favour and Pakistan is afraid to ask with detrimental force what is rightly its own.
Why have we turned such cowards is beyond my comprehension. We are a nuclear capable nation if India can press us to the brink of nuclear conflict on the issue of Kargil why can't we be assertive enough in asking atleast for what is rightly ours? What hell is going to break loose if Indians don't agree to our demands. I think nothing. They know and we must know that they can do nothing if we stand firm.
I can understand two major reasons for this failure in foreign policy. First as I have time and again mentioned that a General a mere soldier of minimal education is in no way fit to make political decisions on the scale as large as a country. Someone who has not been trained in the field of politics doesn't stand a chance against the wickedness and shrewdness of Congressmen. The dictator is thus incompetent. Secondly as I understand anyone who comes to power through unfair means and doesn't have any legitimate standing in the eyes of a fair judicial system can never be powerful enough to lead a nation to success in any field. Thirdly our leaders have been goaded into submission to the foreign powers and they have been amputated of their ability to think and decide independently.
May Allah give us courage to fight all evil and dispell all beliefs that are based on wrong notions. Ameen!
