Wipe out
terrorism
Sir,
"The higher
you rise, the harder you fall" is a quote
which is not new to the mankind. The world knows
about the rise and fall of Hitler; super-power
character of Soviet Union cracking down as a
house of cards; terrorism in Punjab and hegemony
of America over rest of the world and fall of its
World Trade Centre. Just around 5,000 American
people have died and America has made a coalition
of various countries to counter terrorism and
attacked Afghanistan to kill Osama. Who created
Osama and who nurtured his dreaded growth?
Needless to say that it is America who gave birth
and handed him over to Pakistan to keep the pot
of militancy hot in Asia, otherwise who would
have thought what America has produced in terms
of its military equipment and weapons ?
The dubious role
of Pakistan who claims to be the messiah of
Muslims in India made a deal with America to save
its dooming economy and sold out its air bases to
destroy Afghanistan . What Pakistan is likely to
get in a few days from now is assistance package
worth billions of dollars from America ? Needless
to say that this assistance is at the cost of
Afghanis who are being killed everyday by the
American bombing. It is these Afghanis who were
waging war against India in Kashmir and Pakistan
used to be their chief mentor. Pakistan, the
world’s known harbourer and supporter of
terrorism in India, might be able to recover in
terms of its economy but the wounds and pain it
has inflicted on the Afghanis, they may never
forget.
Since mid
eighties, India kept on informing the world about
the growing menace of terrorism in Punjab and
Kashmir which was being sponsored by Pakistan and
no country including America did pay any heed to
it. Punjab bled for nearly ten years, Kashmir is
bleeding for the last fifteen years and America
just conveys concern for the wounds being
inflicted on our civilians and armed forces. If
one has to go by the quote that the higher you
rise, the harder you fall, it does not appear to
be true in case of terrorism in Kashmir. It is on
the rise and how to make this peak fall, is
something which India must think about before it
is too late. We must understand it, once for all,
that America is a nation of (not double but)
multiple standards and should not be relied upon
especially when it has joined hands with
Pakistan, completely ignoring Indian concerns,
lifting sanctions against Pakistan and provided
lucrative financial assistance package to it. It
would be in the fitness of things if we, a
country of over one billion people, start looking
for solutions to our Problems with a pragmatic
and integrated approach.
We must show to
America and other nations that we have the will
and determination to wipe out militancy from
Kashmir and to achieve this India should not
hesitate to attack terrorist camps in Pakistan.
This appears to be the most plausible solution to
make the terrorism in Kashmir fall harder since
it has reached its peak now and it must have a
downfall.
Yours etc...
