Mombai Terrorism: Right Time to Blame Pakistan

By Farid Masood • Nov 29th, 2008 • Category: Politics, Worth A Second Look • 15 Comments • Email This Post Email This Post

Some months ago, I had asked a friend (who’s father is working in an Intelligence service) that why don’t your father gives his contact number to any one. He replied due to nature of assignment people of my father alike don’t give away their contact numbers. I understood his point of view, but I was amazed to learn that Indian media channels remained calling Director General (ISI) Lt. General Ahmad Shuja Pasha to get a bit to flash on their TV Channels in the race to get ahead of their competitors news wars.

Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari (last night) has categorically refused the Indian request to send ISI Chief to India. There are no sound reasons for such request as Pakistan was never involved in such acts within India but every time Indian never spared a moment even to blame Pakistan. But Prime Minister Yousaf Raza reported to agree to honor Indian request.

Important is that, who gave contact number of DG (ISI) to Indian TV Channels? Because any head or personnel of any such service are not spokesmen and never come on media to give statements until they are in service.

If personnel of RAW remained involved in train blast like activities killing dozen of Muslims, then Indian government must clean black goats inside of their secret services and then blame Pakistan for any matter.

Furthermore, India must also look into her practice of violating the human rights with and out of its territory. Christians, Muslims and other communities are not physically and religiously safe in India. Examples are Babri Mosque Massacre, attack on churches, Bomb blast in train and examples in Indian held Kashmir are in front of media. Many independence movements are struggling in India only because of mal-treatment to minorities by Indian Policies.

An elected government always have a strong brain and will, blame may come from America, India etc but we have to stand firm on the backup by the cabinet, parliament and senate. These all elected institutions are backed by nation. No army or government can stand against the international pressure with support of the nation. It is not the time for independent decision. We have to take every one into confidence across the parties and we must not use delaying tactics to resolve our internal issue due to which we may loose nation’s support.

  1. Two main targets have been achieved after this horrible terrorism.
    - weaken the position of Pakistan government in international forums as our corrupt NRO leadership is not in position to take serious stand on such allegations.Now military would demand more share from next budget against hostile behavior of India.
    - Islamic militancy have been projected in more worst style than ever and it would badly effect the poor muslim countries and muslim settled in western countries.
    The life of ordinary muslims are leading towards more difficult situation than ever before, surely the poor indian muslim will sooner face the reaction of this disastrous situation.

  2. It’s amazing the writer is busy in trivial thing as the phone numbers. Anyway, I agree with Nazia.

    Also as the Indians are blaming British Muslim for the Mumbai attacks, that is clearly to compell UK to expel the Muslims. Israeli dimension must also be not ignored, and remember, Delhi has cast vote today.

  3. It is not a planning of India to put all blame on Pakistan. Based on some reliable resources, India and some other countries were not taking control of West borders of Pakistan and since Pakistan started true clean up of that area (although still it is going on)… India and few other countries started worried that now how to make excuses.

    I don’t know whether this Mumbai case is like Lal Majid or not but India trying to cash this opportunity, as they tried to do exactly after Kabul Attack. India is playing dirty game since 9/11 but I am hopeful that we will tackle this problem.

    India is now thinking that he became super power of South Asia in Military since they are having positive GDP growth but they should not forget that We Pakistanis are here to defend our country.

    I am literally angry on Indian Media and on our media also. Indian Media is totally showing Anti Pakistan prapoganda…means they are standing with indian Govt drama… our Media is trying to find weaknesses of our government and as usual trying to stand against Govt.

    For God sake, it is not the time to bring our internal differences for discussing on International Issues. We have to stand with Government stance and Army. In my view, right now Army is doing sensibly by not sending ISI general to India.

    Mr Farid, Numbers are not as easy to reach as you are saying that Indian media is calling him. It is not chocolate like of thing to reach such personalities. I tell you…. their numbers, their landline and many more not even comes on CLI (given that number is official and used for official use). Indian Media may be just showing to their nation that we are calling him but actually calling some one else.

  4. I am right now hearing Minister press conference. I am amazed on Reporters questions. Most of them are questioning is irresponsible manner. Media should be careful in questions. It is not time to bring our own differences at such time. Please be careful. We are Pakistanis and we have to tackle India….

    Why we always brings our own differences in International discussions also.

  5. It is automatic that any terror attack on India is linked to Pakistan but i think, things have changed, either the Mumbai blast was all the work of Indian extremists or it was some collation between the Indian terror groups and Pakistan terror groups. Either ways, lots of Innocent lives have been lost and it is very sad to see Indian politicians making it a politican agenda to sever their purpose.

    we people in Pakistan are extremely disturbed in this serious situation as you people are but yours media and some politicians are putting salts in our wounds too.Pakistan as nation has come to disease like gangrene in military rule as it has promoted mafia culture here that is eating off our body parts.In last years first time our nation has started showing its hatred towards military policy and that is annoying US management a lot.Such kind of high level terrorism is beyond our imagination and capacity and you have recently watched its one trailer in last day.As our PM ordered ISI chief to go India after 24 hrs but his orders was discarded in few hrs surely US and army interfered in his decisions.
    My reason of giving such an example is that a weak, corrupt govt and an army having life support system from US can not arrange such high tech commando actions in heart of India for more than 60 hrs.

  7. Doesn’t ANYONE here have an informed intellectual opinion? Where did all the serious commentators go?

  8. I have read the article above and the comments given by few people. Nice thought, but have you ever thought why was Pakistan government and ISI supported Taliban, why does ISI and Pakistan support militants in Kashmir who you call freedom fighters. If you are saying that India always blames Pakistan even if anything happens on its soil, then there are proof of LeT or Jaish behind it and they have taken claims for doing bomb blast in India. Why is Dawood Ibrahim the mosted criminal in India residing in Pakistan, when India wants to lay its hands on him, why does the government does not allow that. Think on these points and let me.

    seth abid and daud like characters are existing on both countries .These characters get support from corrupt bureaucracy and politicians and are used to topple govt as per requirement of super powers or war lords.As far as daud is concerned he usually lives in dubai and run his under world activity in India and Pakistan from there.India has strong ties with UAE govt so we would be very happy if you put the directions of guns towards UAE govt for his extradition but you as usual target poor relatives to blame for all curses.Its dubai govt who is actually protecting him from your wrath.Whole world had watched the scenes of marriage of daud ’s daughter with miandad’ son protected by UAE law enforcing agencies.Lot of VIPS Indians had also come to this function showing his strong ties with influential Indians.
    I just want to say that such dons have no nationalities and no sympathies for people and only worked as a paid tout.

  11. Hi nazia,
    Our Dawood is your honoured guest in Karachi and his son is marrried to your jawed Miandad who is trying his level best to shift the crikcet contest to dubai to which is smabdhi ows lot of investment in real estate. the mile high towers all come from this hawala goon who was an Indian and now travels with pakistani passport.
    jaish Mohamed leader who was released at kandahar in return for IAC passengers popped up in your lahore and heads the greatest terrorist group in your country which is ofcourse linked to Saudi Caliphate.
    LET IS NOW CALLED DAWA

    first correct on two points
    daud’s daughter was married to miandad son and for this purpose the function was organised in dubai.Whole world had seen its arrangement and all knows the daud was there but Indians living in dubai preferred to attend his ceremony rather than demand of any arrest from dubai govt.
    PCB is forcing India’s team to come to Pakistan for next tournament but its demand of Indian team to arrange match in safe environment of dubai .Till this time this is latest update of PCB ,lets see what
    will be next arrangement.
    Look what ever done in Mumbai is extremely condemnable job.if some how you think that Pakistan Govt was involved in such horrible incident than rectify your one point that for last years Pakistani management is following US policies and for this purpose they have kept our self respect /security mortgage in the hands of terrorists groups.First your media and some govt officials made too hurry for charging Pakistan as first proper technical inquiry should had been made before such statements .Such abrupt statements could even create problems for Indian muslims too as hindu extremist are like vultures to attack on poor souls and such allegations can create even deadly consequences within India too.
    Indians took 4 years for ending its inquiry regarding samjohata expresss and result is in front of whole world but look what happened your daring officer who did such a remarkable investigation was died in this mysterious siege.Same thing repeated in parliament attack when your perfect supreme court has cleared off most of people caught by yours agencies.
    My point is still there if you still able to prove that pakistanis are involved then please point your figure towards US and dubai govt too who are actually manoeuvering all foreign and military policies in our regions.
    If you minutely watched the actions of terrorists provided by CCTV then see they were very built and strong nerved gorillas who trained in longer periods of time in some highly technical bases.They never looked like come from deprived families where people were forced to go for suicidal activities for some money.They knew all the routes of congested mumbai and no way looks aliens who had just jumped from sea to play havoc in one of modern city of India where all high proifle security set up was already available.
    The reason of this lengthy detail is as dont blame people of Pakistan as they are also in pain with all indians too and if you point finger on Pakistani govt then target US too as no Pakistani military or civilian agency can alone plan such a heinous event without US aide.
