India keeping one-third of world’s poor population

Muhammad Arshad

Islamabad—The Pakistan Economy Watch on Thursday said India should reverse its foreign policy and exploitation of religious minorities at home to avoid further terror attacks and ensure peace and prosperity. Elimination of terrorism needs more than threatening calls and venomous statements against Pakistan. India’s Afghan policy and will to dominate the region will continue to contribute towards miseries of the one-third of the population of this planet. It will keep the pace of economic activities slower.

“India will have to choose between its Afghan policy or learn to compromise on internal peace and economic development,” said Dr. Murtaza Mughal, President, Pakistan Economy Watch. He said whole world has failed to tame Al Qaeda and Taliban; they have all the capabilities to destabilize India. Testing these elements will prove a costly endeavour for New Delhi. “India should rather focus on its vulnerabilities like highly divided society, social, political and religious injustices, Hindu extremism etc and should become realistic,” said Dr. Murtaza Mughal.

India cannot avoid feelings of its people against rampant corruption, inefficiently and arrogance of the system, he added. India should not try to please US as such efforts has destabilised many economies in past. Terrorism in the region is not because of Pakistan but due to the US policies. How come Indian limping economy sustain pressures when mighty American economy has proved its inability to fulfil the needs of new world order, he questioned.

India: The Terrorists Within

A day after major Indian cities were placed on high alert following blasts in the IT city of Bangalore, as many as 17 blasts ripped through Ahmedabad, capital of the affluent western Indian state of Gujarat . Some 30 people were killed, some at hospitals where bombs were timed to go off when the injured from other blasts were being brought in. (Later, in Surat, a center for the world's diamond industry, a bomb was defused near a hospital and two cars packed with explosives were found in in the city's outskirts.) Investigators pointed fingers at the usual Islamist suspects: Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT), Bangladesh- based Harkat-ul Jihadi Islami (HUJI) and the indigenous Students' Islamic Movement of India (SIMI). But even as the police searched for clues, the Ahmedabad attacks were owned up by a group calling itself the " Indian Mujahideen. " Several TV news stations received an email five minutes before the first blasts in Ahmedabad. The message repo...

Pakistan Army Must Not Intervene In The Current Crisis - Who To Blame For the Present Crisis in Pakistan ?

By Sikander Hayat Another day of agony and despair as Pakistanis live through a period of uncertainty but still I believe that army must not intervene in this crisis. These are the kind of circumstances when army need to show their resolve of not meddling in the political sphere of the country. No doubt that there will be people in the corridors of power and beyond who will be urging the army to step in and ‘save’ the country but let me tell you that country will only be saved if army stays away and let the politicians decide the future of the country, even if it means that there will be clashes on the streets of Islamabad. With free media in place, people are watching with open eyes the parts being played by each and every individual in this current saga. They know who is right and who is wrong and they will eventually decide who stays in power when the next general election comes. Who said that democracy was and orderly and pretty business ; it is anything but. Democracy ...
