Pakistan

Dear Mr Khan,

This email refers to your article in Daily Times about the implications of Karzai’s statement of hot pursuit into Pakistani territory.

I believe that until there is a government in Pakistan, which is coherent in its response to the outside threats we have no chance of convincing either the Western media or the Western governments to listen to our concerns.

Pakistan is in a difficult situation at the moment where its policy makers are concerned about not confronting USA due to its inability to rid Balochistan of its insurgency.

I see a scenario where USA does the same to Balochistan what it has done to Iraqi Kurdistan.

That is the reason that Pakistan is trying to become Turkey (whose action against Kurds is tolerated due to its strategic relationship with Europe & USA) and not Iraq (which was crushed due to its resistance to West and it lost the Kurdish region).

Pakistani people must be told the truth about the situation by their politicians and its media because a lot of opinion makers at the moment are just too happy to lie to the populace and creating hate against anyone who tells them otherwise.

It is people like you who have the duty to tell people the truth.

This is your burden as a learned scholar and you must bear it well.



Many Thanks
