Pakistan Needs Afghanistan
By Brig. (r) Junaid Zaman • Sep 13th, 2008 • Category: Politics • (4,035 views) • 2 CommentsSo America has officially announced that they are now including Pakistan in their war strategy and would pursue the targets within the territory of the Pakistan. Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff has made it clear that they are not happy with the results in the Afghanistan and just because they were ignoring the area between Afghanistan and Pakistan.
That is the crux of the matter. American media is now severely propounding the idea that the FATA area is wild and really not part of the Pakistan, and it’s like some other part of the world, ungoverned and doesn’t belong to any country, and it just happens to be sandwiched between Afghanistan and Pakistan, and terrorist from all over the world have made it a safe heaven for them, and they roam their freely and so not if but when United States and its allies attack the FATA, they won’t be really transgressing into the Pakistani territory but in the hinterland of FATA.
There is lot of hubbub in the Pakistani media over the decision of President Asif Ali Zardari to have Hamid Karzai besides him during the first news conference. It’s true that Hamid Karzai is the puppet President, but then who isn’t? It’s also true that Hamid Karzai has spoken time and again against Pakistan, but then who hasn’t? Right now and then in the future, like every neighbor, Pakistan needs it’s neighbors, especially Afghanistan in these times.
If Pakistan somehow take Afghan authorities on board, then they would accrue multi-pronged advantages. They would counter the rapidly increasing Indian presence and clout in the Afghanistan, and that would also discourage the Indian designs to fan the terrorism in Pakistan through the tribal region. Also that would send a strong signal to the United States, and discourage it to use blatant force in the tribal region, which belongs to Pakistan and where millions of innocent Pakistanis live, and where handful of militants are raising hell and Pakistani security forces are successfully dealing with them there carefully.

Instead of long term plans… please come up with short term and effective plans. It is not a time for implementing long term plans to safe guard our country. We need immediate and rapid action to make ourself ready to defend our territories.
Our nation is not a peanut that US will come and eat us. We are the most populated country and when we will use this population… For eating Pakistan or for defending Pakistan???

Every one shall under stand, its no more disregards to our statues of liberty, whether it be boundaries, people, arm forces or ISI.
Every body including America has full rights to design our fate as per their desire and thoughts but painting the same theme of design is a difficult process especially when it is a matter of survival, integrity and sovereignty as freedom and nation.
We as nation repeat again that we do not own Taliban and we are trying our level best to terminate these menace that have put us on the slab of incarceration but blaming our forces and our integral shock absorber ,the ISI, can not be own on dictated version of desire of America’s as lust .
As far as boarding the afghan authorities on the issue is concerned, these puppets are already relying and residing on America as per dictated policy and plan, thereby executing the desire as been floated.
Under the reserving act fascism, nepotism and favoritism, no country can feed and direct her thoughts towards an agent who is defined front men.
Indians on the other hand are also bewildering the same methodology of sabotage and criminal offences so to accomplish and engage our nation partially for their built-in rivalry and rest as the second line of defense for American motive.
Now if revert to FATA there is no second thought which relates these people of FATA as being son of the soil, for their previous un attachment and ever habitual activities that always kept them as something out of territorial jurisdiction of Pakistan.
Infact after decades of attachment with the country since birth ,none as local tributary raised the slogan to be monitored or governed under the rule of the reign as Pakistan but infact the myth continued till today as separate electoral cum geographical representation with law and legislation not according to the constitution of Pakistan but their home made recipes with a single political agent as representative of the state ,so to express legitimate owing of these separate tributaries as with in the sovereign.
It was and is this act that is now being perceived as reality and is the point of controversy which is tagging the area in the contest of something outside the domain and premises of Pakistan.
Though, if the same is not true, then I see no reason to repel or retaliating NATO for their ill activities from our side as well.
Brigadier sahib! This is not at all a time when, where and with, we should discuss ifs and buts of the issue.
Infact we are at the verge of turmoil where debates discussion and counseling with reference to the issue will be in vain and without resultant as the motives and intentions have taken the flight of explained theme and design.
This is the time when we being nation got to decide unanimously as do we own these areas as our premises or not ?
Rest of the things would automatically be making the direction of our priorities and preferences.
As far as American version of the theme against FATA, it is not without a taste as the area was under no means a hell, birthing almost every sort and design of culprits being involved in, almost every damn activity from, you name it and you will find it.
Sir it is again this element of these area that is again a hindrance point for the people which is infact curtailing the thoughts as something unusual thereby setting a piston of recycle as chain of attacks by america.
Sir, questionnaire again arises as, do we own this place at national or sovereign level or not?
If yes! Things get easier to understand our next action otherwise, I have no reservation to say that line of demarcation need to be reviewed as there is an ample chance as perception that the boundary might fall in some other premises (May god save the premises, ameen)
Sir! As far as attendance with reference to the president karzai, its not an issue as during such ceremonial affirmations at executive level of such peak offices, its traditional to call as honorable guest from other nations being friendly or neighbors, so to show good will gestures as traditional heritage by diplomatic offices, thereby enhancing the ties as friends of the future.
Under the brief as opinion, my point is to safe guard the premises as clear and understandable slogan. Regards
