Pakistan is a nation which has got nothing positive to offer to the world except NUISANCE. It has been for last 70 years purely surviving on the basis of its nusisance value and as a result getting aids and doles and grants from western nations and international organizations. The dozens of Jehadi organizations and Jehadis on UN terror list can trace their roots to Pakistan including ISIS, Al Qaeda and Taliban.
However, despite all this, the western world always preferred to preach India and give sermons on Human Rights and Democratic Values, like the one recently given by Sir Lord Blinken, US Secy of State during his inspection visit to India. They advertently or inadvertently turned a blind eye towards Pakistan and rather took their side as in case of Afghanistan issue where they have virtually agreed, knowingly about the duplicity of Pakistan and nexus with Jehadis to handover Afghanistan to Taliban .
Over the years Pakistan has got emboldened by these gestures and has come to believe that Its Nuisance Value Pays rich dividends in International Politics.
Continuing on the same lines it recently decided to add on to this nuisance value and announced to organize a cricket tournament in POK calling it ; Kashmir Premier League. And to internationalize the same, it roped in many Pakistani film celebrities, as brand ambassadors and top Pakistani cricketers in various capacities. It also sent invitation to many foreign cricketers to join the league.
Indians were quick to grasp the real purpose behind it and so BCCI came out strongly against the league and in no uncertain words issued a warning to the players who take a call to play in this league. This once again led to same old discussion of mixing politics with cricket. The ICC on the other hand preferred to stay out of it saying ; The tournament is not under ICC’s jurisdiction as it is not an international cricket tournament.”
Someone from abroad who has not gone into the history of India-Pakistan rivalry would be critical of BCCI step and call it ludicrous as South African cricketer called it. But those who are well versed with the fundamentals of this historic rivalry and its root causes would call this another stupid gimmick of Pakistan to keep the Kashmir pot simmering.
Just for the sake of those who think that India was wrong in issuing a warning and mixing cricket with Politics need to answer following ;
- South Africa was subjected to a variety of international boycotts, including on sporting contacts, due to apartheid for almost a decade plus. What was that ?
- The 1980 Summer Olympics were boycotted by USA and its allies to protest against the USSR invasion of Afghanistan. Here Pakistan has been waging a proxy war against India for last almost 30 years and thousands of innocent lives have been lost due to terror attacks organized by PAK TRAINED Jehadis.
- China opposes and issues warnings and threats to Govts who pay a visit to Taiwan or meet Dalai Lama. So if India also does the same whats the big deal about it.
- Bhutto wrote to Chief Of Army Staff Gen Tikka Khan on his return after signing the Simla Agreement -.
“Neither a few years of arranged peace nor the present situation can possibly permit us to ignore the reality that there must inevitably sooner or later come another war. In a new war the enemies around us will be depending largely upon material superiority and not the human factor upon technique and not the force of an ideal. In this there may lie there weakness and our strength recent history had amply proved in China in Korea , in Israel and in Vietnam that a people war can withstand innumerable ups and downs but no force can succeed in altering its general march towards inevitable triumph. In the remotest of our villages the humblest fo our people possesses a self confidence a ready willingness to march forward into India , a spirit the equivalent of which can not be found on the other side. Great and terrible scourges have come to India from this side every invasion from this side has defeated India. Thus the terror, fear and habit of defeat cannot be wiped out of their national memory over night and we ourselves have ruled them for 8 centuries. All this is not ancient history, it is current history and the Indian masses are just now still struggling against the legacy of superstitions, religious intolerance, caste system, regional animosities, poverty backwardness, ignorance, deceit and the unconquerable habit of submission and servility”.
So, this plan to bleed India and destroy India is not just a plan but the sole purpose of their genesis. Those who have been equating and Hyphening India with Pakistan and giving sermons to India on Democracy must know;
Pakistan became a republic when its first constitution was approved in 1956 but this was abrogated in 1958 after a coup and Pakistan came under martial law. Its second constitution was promulgated in 1962, which brought in Presidential form of Govt and abolished the office of the prime minister. This constitution institutionalized the intervention of military in politics. Thereafter, once again this 1962 constitution was suspended in 1969 . In 1973 another Constituion was promulgated which made Pakistan a Parliamentary democracy and brought back the office of the prime minister, However, this one also after another coup d'état in 1977 was suspended and even the one who brought this constitution – Mr Bhutto was hanged to death. This constitution was finally restored in 1985 but with an amendment popularly known as 8th amendment. It once again brought back the Presidential form of Govt. Thereafter came the 17th amendment in 1997 which brought back the PM, but it was short lived as there was another coup in 1999 which once again suspended the constitution and the General appointed himself the Chief Executive and then the President. In 2002 the suspended constitution was restored with few changes , like Head of State will be a President and PM as Head of Govt and both will be Muslims. Thereafter came another amendment in 2010 which reduced the powers of the President and brought back the old Parliamentary democracy.
This in nutshell is the political history of Pakistan and true nature of Pakistan’s polity, surprisingly west still prefers to preach us DEMOCRACY and turns a blind eye towards the perpetrators of violence.
Let the West for its own interests undermine and overlook, but India at no cost must concede even an INCH to Pakistan anymore and should prove it to them that if Indians have tried in past to be friends they CAN BE GOOD ENEMIES AS WELL .
