Instead of behaving like a villain in some third-rated Indian movie, the Indian army chief can learn a lesson or two from Pakistan army chief's studied calm under immense pressure. ISLAMABAD, Pakistan—Indian Army Chief General Deepak Kapoor has once again come up with a highly irresponsible and rather humorous statement when he stated that Indian Army was ready for surgical strikes, missile and infantry attack inside Pakistan. This statement of the Indian Army Chief came when Pakistan government and Pakistani authorities were conducting a high profile probe into the Mumbai attacks on the basis of what should be termed as a rather shady dossier provided by the Indian government. The statement came when the Pakistan government was doing the job with all sincerity and when the Indian government itself had agreed to wait for the outcome. In such a situation, when Pakistan and the entire global community was making an all out effort to ease tensions between the nuclear archrivals,...

From : Letters to the Editor section, Published in The Dawn , Pakistan,6 Dec 08 READING Qamar Iqbal's letter, 'Mumbai: India blames Pakistan' , and the several reports titled , (i) ' India sending top official to US' , (ii) 'The misplaced hype about Faridko't , (iii) 'Gunmen spoke Hindi with strong Punjabi, north Indian accent' and (iv) 'Taj hotel was warned of attack' , (all in Dawn's Dec 1 issue), only strengthened my earlier conclusions.

First, the peaceful and massive uprising in Kashmir in recent months has caught the Indian establishment and even the independence-minded Kashmiri leaders by surprise. What is worse, some Indian intellectuals and rights activists, too, are now demanding of their leaders...

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 Afg...
