PakNationalists Create A (Mini) Stir In India

On Oct. 7, 2008, PakNationalists released a story titled; Pakistan's Flag Is A Symbol Of Freedom In India . Our objective was to show the ‘defeatist elements’ among us, those few Pakistanis who rejoice in putting down their own homeland, how the people of Assam in east India see the Pakistani flag. People at PakNationalists never thought their story will increase the pressure from New Delhi on the Indian government of Assam, whose people are leading a struggle for independence from India. We reiterate here our call to Pakistani politicians, media, and Foreign Office to help the people of Assam realize their aspirations. We hope someday soon we will see someone at the Pakistan Foreign Office working up the nerves to issue a statement in support of the people of Assam because it is the right thing to do. And also as retaliation for Indian meddling in Pakistani affairs and the export of terrorism by the agents of RAW, the Indian spy agency that is training terrorists inside Afghanistan.

Gogoi for CBI probe as ‘Pakistani flag’ continues to irk trouble-torn Assam

Samudra Gupta Kashyap Posted online: Oct 12, 2008 at 0108 hrs

Guwahati, October 11 : Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi announced a CBI probe after a Pakistani flag was allegedly hoisted in a village in Udalguri, a district reeling under large-scale violence since October 3. Gogoi said he would ask the CBI to probe the matter and get to the truth.

The Pakistani flag issue, which was already on in the local media, assumed a larger dimension after a Pakistani news portal Pakistan Daily carried an article titled 'Pakistan's flag is a symbol of freedom in India' by one Ahmed Quraishi. "This should come as news for Pakistani defeatists. After Kashmir, the rest of the dozen or so freedom movements in India see Pakistan as a symbol of liberty and freedom. Pakistan's media and intelligence agencies should project these incidents and gather support inside these Indian states as retaliation for Indian terrorism inside Pakistan's Balochistan, tribal belt and other cities," said the article.

The violence that broke out between Muslims of migrant origin and ethnic communities inclidung the Bodos and Assamese on October 3 has left at least 55 dead and displaced nearly two lakh people in the districts of Udalguri and Darrang.

Meanwhile, state government spokesman and Health Minister Himanta Biswa Sharma, strongly denied that a Pakistani flag was ever raised or found flying in any village in the strife-torn districts. "We are sure it is not a Pakistani flag. Despite that we have instituted an inquiry," he said.

Even as the government ordered a CBI probe, the BJP on Saturday accused Gogoi of trying to downplay the Pakistani flag issue. "It's a serious issue threatening the security and sovereignty of the country. Yet the government is on a denial mode," said Bijoya Chakravarty, BJP's national vice-president.

The All Assam Students' Union (AASU) on its part said there was no need for a probe. "Why probe? There should be direct action. How dare anybody raise a Pakistani flag on Indian soil," said AASU advisor Samujjal Bhattacharyya.

Pakistan's Flag Is A Symbol Of Freedom In India

This should come as news for Pakistani defeatists. After Kashmir, the rest of the dozen or so freedom movements in India see Pakistan as a symbol of liberty and freedom. Pakistan’s media and intelligence agencies should project these incidents and stoke more support inside these Indian states as retaliation for Indian terrorism inside Pakistan’s Balochistan, tribal belt and other cities.

Ahmed Quraishi REPORT

Tuesday, 7 October 2008.


GAUHATI, India—Depressed from how New Delhi is suppressing local Assamese people who want to carve a separate homeland out of India, people in Assam waved Pakistan's flags in five districts.

The eastern Indian state is one of a dozen Indian states in the north and east where ferocious freedoms movements are in full swing, demanding the right of self determination from Indian rule.


As usual, the Indian government, blaming Pakistani agencies for the violence, has ordered an immediate enquiry for this incident.

The officials in
New Delhi are so disturbed by this that they have invoked patriotism while asking newspaper editors across India to black out any news about the freedom movements.

This week a student delegation visited the State’s governor and told him that ‘the villagers informed us that the miscreants were shouting slogans like Pakistan zindabad [Long live Pakistan] through loudspeakers in Dalgaon and some other border areas,” according to a report in The Assam Tribune.

The Indian paper called on the government to give “stern punishment to those who hoisted Pakistani flags.”

The Indian Express reported the story in one paragraph: “Meanwhile, media persons saw a Pakistani flag in Sonaripara and Mohanpur villages and took photographs of them. Local television channels also ran footage of the flags. Officials and security forces denied any knowledge of the presence of the flags.

New Delhi is disturbed by this new trend where the Pakistani flag has emerged as a symbol of freedom in India.

Indian officials are still smarting from the shock of a unanimous rejection of India across Kashmir. For years the Kashmiris have been marking India’s national day on Aug. 15 as a Black Day. But this year, Kashmir witnessed a unanimous civil disobedience and massive street protests where Kashmiris joined in raising the Pakistani flag and chanting slogans rejecting their forced inclusion in the Indian state.

The massive protests shocked the Indian media and ordinary Indians who for years were shielded by New Delhi authorities from ground realities in Kashmir and were fed an official version that almost the entire free Indian media adhered to without asking questions. The size and the impressive unanimity of Kashmiri protests this year helped break Indian official media blackout and provided the Indian people a chance to see for their own what their governments have been hiding for decades now, where the Kashmir dispute was often peddled as a Pakistani creation and not the result of indigenous Kashmiri demands.

This story should come as surprising news to a vocal minority in Pakistani media that continues to hold an inferiority complex concerning the Indian government. This Pakistani minority is used to exaggerating Pakistani flaws and glorifying India and presenting it as a country devoid of any flaws [Editor’s note: This is called ‘Bollywood Effect’. This minority needs to break the spell and improve its taste by watching some quality movies from Hollywood and elsewhere.]

This is a good opportunity for Pakistani media organizations and spy agencies to project the freedom movements inside various Indian states that want independence from Indian rule. Pakistanis recall how the Indian government broke international law and issued a statement supporting its own trained and funded terrorists in Pakistani Balochistan in 2006. This is why it has become imperative to pay the New Delhi establishment in the same coin. Assam and the rest of the twelve or so Indian states that are fighting for independence are a good place to start.
