Pakistan in the grip of terrorists
On the last Friday of Ramadan in Pakistan killers were on
the rampage, especially in Karachi capital
of Sindh and Quetta capital of Balochistan. Earlier
Kamra Air Base was attacked and nearly two
dozen Shias were killed point blank in KP province. Though, on the face value these
appear separate incidents but establish a common point ‘security forces in
Pakistan are incapable of protecting Pakistanis as well as strategic
installations of the country.
Many local and foreign analysts term these ‘security
lapse’ but the reality is Pakistan in a
state of war for more than a decade. Despite doing the best it has to hear ‘do
more manta’ from the United States and face
the pressure of ‘domestic constituency’ to pull the country out of proxy US war. There is growing perception that Afghan occupation by Nato forces may have other
motives but bringing any change in the quality of life of Afghans, bearing the
brunt of war for more than three decades. Some even go to the extent of terming
it war of drug barons.
In the recent past Shia Hazaras
have been the worst victim in Balochistan but now killers are on the rampage in
KP and GB. For a considerably long time efforts are being made to show that
that Shias and Sunnis are killing each other. However, with the Shia-Suni
conflict becoming too visible in Bahrain and
Saudi Arabia, efforts are being made to
instigate armed conflict between the two Muslim sects in Pakistan also.
Attack on the bus carrying participants of Youm-e-Qudus Rally in Karachi was to convey a
message that any group following Iranian plan can face death in Pakistan.
However, the cynics fail to understand that it is not the attempt of Iran to
create its hegemony in the region but to remind the Muslims that Israel is occupying Palestinian territory for decades
and Arabs have failed in getting the holy city of Jerusalem
free from Zionist occupation.
Many Western critics say that Iran has expansionist
designs and attaining uranium enrichment technology is the first step for
producing atomic warheads. Though, Iran has been refuting this allegation,
United States under the pressure of Zionists want to teach it a lesson. More
than 32 years of economic sanctions have failed to deter Iranians from their
path. In fact Iran has emerged as a symbol of resistance against the US hegemony.
Now it is evident that some of the religious groups are nothing but 'B' teams of foreign intelligence agencies. One can still recall jndullah operating from Balochistan and undertaking cross border terrorism in Iran. These groups are trained and provided funds by the foreign intelligence agencies. They have done this in Libya and Syria and many other countries.
