India has been attacked in the painfully similar way and terrorist have struck again. These people, whatever their motives are, in my mind are the scum of this earth and must be treated as such. India must not jump to conclusion that somehow Pakistan is involved in this atrocity as it has been shown on the day when Marriott Hotel was blown up by the suicide bombers, causing hundreds of lives and irreparable damage to Pakistan’s Image (as a country which cannot even secure its capital), that we in Pakistan are a victim of this scourge. Pakistan has made mistakes in the past and it is paying a very heavy price for those mistakes in every part of the country in the form of huge loss of life and limb. The economy has nearly grounded to a halt and Pakistan is not willing to let its land be used for the launch of any terror strikes anywhere. Pakistan has learned its lesson.
There are a lot of other contenders who could easily be responsible for this heinous act and in time investigations from all those who have been caught alive perpetrating this act will show real motives and culprits behind these attacks.
After all Samjhota Express (a train carrying Pakistani and Indian passengers from India to Pakistan) bombing was readily blamed on the Lashkar- e- Toiba but it has been recently revealed that it was the handy work of Hindu terrorists and late ATS Chief (who was among the first victims in yesterdays atrocities) was heavily criticised and threatened by the Hindu militant organisations was the chief architect behind that investigation.
News reports are coming in that Mr Manmohan Singh ( Indian Prime Minister) is blaming outside forces for these attacks and it may eventually be deemed useful by the Congress led UPA government to blame Pakistan ( in order to save itself from blaming indigenous groups who could be vital in upcoming elections).
That will be a very bad move for many reasons as for once it is not in Pakistan’s favour to feed the snake that is biting it as well. Also this may be is the agenda of the guilty group to stop any India – Pakistan rapprochement dead in its tracks. Pakistan Army is fully occupied and taking huge casualties on its western front against the same people it is being accused of helping. The new government of President Asif Ali Zardari is a strong government and is powerful enough to disband political wing of ISI (Pakistani Spy Agency) and is fully committed to an overall deal with India on all underlying issues which make both these countries and especially Pakistan suffer.
Whatever the reservations are among the Pakistani populace against India, they have decided against the terrorists & terrorism, loss of innocent life and property is not the price that anybody should pay. Pakistanis are in deep sorrow for this loss of life and they have seen it far too many times on their side and against them that they can really fell the pain and anguish of India and the people of Mumbai.
My request to any decision making authorities in India is that please do not make any rash judgements, please do not make decision in haste as the stakes are too high and we must not let these misguided souls ( from wherever they are and whatever people they desire to represent) wreck a cordial atmosphere. Please think about it.
