PAKISTAN ON THE VERGE OF IMPLOSION

In the immediate aftermath of Osama Bin Laden’s death at the hands of US, it became a hot topic of discussion not only in India but the world over. As it was Osama Bin Laden, the most wanted Al-Qaida head by US who was a nightmare to not only America but all nations across the world, the topic of discussions still continues and it would be alive in the days to come.
Immediately after his death our national TV channels grabbed the subject and they were literally competing with one another in holding discussions by inviting defence experts, media personalities, writers and intellectuals shining in various fields the possibility of India launching an American model stealth operation in Pakistan thereby settling scores as the number of fugitives baying for India’s blood are many. The hawks talked about the need for conducting such operations while the doves among the lot cautioned patience.
Indian Army Chief V.K.Singh and Air Force Chief P.V.Naik made it amply clear that India was on par with America in launching a stealth operation in Pakistan and immediately on reaching the news in the ears of Pakistani leaders, Pak Foreign Secretary Salman Basheer warned of ‘a terrible catastrophe’ on India if the latter were to follow the US. Our Army Chief and Air Force Chief talking in terms of launching a stealth operation however make sense as when it comes to the heart of the mater here I mean it is our defence forces who are at the receiving end in the event of Pakistan unleashing a war on India. Hence their remarks are understandable but what they forget was the truth that it is Pakistan not the Pakistani citizens who will be the ultimate sufferers. Like the peace-loving Indian citizen, the average Pakistani citizens always yearn for peace and they prey to Allah for peace always.
Indian Prime Minister ManMohan Singh always talk of going more than halfway for peaceful talks with Pakistan on contentious issues. His subordinates especially Foreign Minister S.M.Krishna, National Security Advisor Shiv Shankar Menon, Foreign Secretary Nirupama Rao all talk about remaining engaged with Pakistan always. While our army, navy and air-force brethren if and when a war breaks out with Pakistan remain in the forefront risking lives these very important personalities are very well protected by security coverage and therefore war clouds looming large on the horizon by the acts of the neighbouring nation don’t matter to them.
As somebody has written about Pakistan a lost country because of its encouragement of dreaded terrorists which like a Frankenstein Monster turns against them after wreaking havoc in the neighbouring country a weak civilian govt go at the helm and an India-centric army. Our nation will have to remain vigilant throughout. Pakistani authorities behave as if they have nothing to lose since they have gained nothing and what they have gained is a bunch of hard-core terrorists. Imagine the plight of peace-loving Pakistani citizens who virtually feel suffocated between the terror elements and India-centric authorities.
