Pakistan has ever been adopting double standards and dual policy on
terrorism. While on one hand it has been ally of USA and other Western
powers in their all out war against those sections of terrorists who
are operating or are planning to strike against the western powers, it
has been from the very beginning patronizing, assisting and even
training the terrorists who strike against India, having their
launching pads in the territory under Pak control. While it has been
asking India to provide solid proof of Pakistani links of the planners
and perpetrators of Mumbai serial metro blasts, before it takes any
action against them, though flatly ruling out handed over to India of
any terrorist involved in strikes against India, it has never demanded
from the USA any evidence before pledging support as well as joining
that power in apprehending or liquidating the Al Qaeda outfit of
terrorists, who are alleged by USA to have been mainly responsible for
the 9/11 attack on World Trade Center in New York and Pentagon in
Washington. According to Pak President Parvaz Musharraf's own
admission, as disclosed in his recently releases autobiography "In the
line of Fire", in the wake of attack on twin trade towers in USA, the
later had threatened to bombard Pakistan and put it back to the stone
age, if it did not side with USA in their fight against Al Qaeda and
Taliban. He has also mentioned that the USA had paid billions of
dollars to Pakistan for providing them the clues and assistance in
arresting the Al Qaeda and Taliban Jehadis and that Pakistan has so
far helped USA to capture a large number of mercenaries. This in fact
is admission on the part of Pak President that it listens the voice of
threat and bows before a mighty power and its support to USA in fight
against terrorists threatening that country is as a result of threat
from USA. Against it, despite repeated assurances held to the Indian
leaders, during negotiations that no part of territory under the
control of Pakistan will be allowed to be used for terrorist to
operate against India, it has been blatantly flouting these assurances
and continues to be siding with the Jehadis groups operating against
India, under one pretext or the other. Obviously Pakistan knows that
India is not going to use the force against Pakistan, notwithstanding
its belligerent attitude of non cooperation, rather hostility so far
as combating terrorism against India is concerned. This gives credence
to the old dictum that "Might is Right" or what we call in local
language "laton ke bhoot—baton se nahi mante". In the light of this
fact it is India which has to decide how to deal with Pakistan and
whether it should talk to the rulers of that country in the language
which alone they understand. While no sane person will plead India to
launch a war against Pakistan, yet we must be tough in dealing with
the ruling political dispensation in that country and always keep open
the option of use of force to protect our country's sovereignty and
solidarity and safeguard the lives of our citizens.
