Pakistan has always been a country whose left hand doesn’t know what its right hand does. The Prime Minister Mr. Nawaz Sharif didn’t know his general was invading India. Its last two governments have no clue what happens in the North West Frontier Province…and so on. Or atleast so they would have us believe.
In the latest instance the Pakistani Foreign minister publicly proclaimed that, we as in Pakistan & India are twin victims of terrorism and they will do anything repeat anything to assist the Indian Government in investigating these horrendous attacks. Even so, when the PM asks for the DG of ISI to come over it was a surprise to hear them agree; but not for long…
Very clearly now some junior official will be sent, he will take notes, he will not promise anything except to get back after consulting his bosses, which will never happen. If we are stupid enough to share any information steps will be taken to make sure no further evidence is left in Pakistan. Or perhaps even will not come to pass. Perhaps direct PM to PM requests are a breach of protocol and they should send an official request at secretarial level presumably in triplicate too…which can then be deliberated upon.
Can we even consider co-operation with this country after it has spurned a direct request from the highest office of our country? If they have nothing to hide, why refuse co-operation.
Why should India suffer if Pakistan cannot control its own elements - assuming they want to in the first place? Is it our problem Pakistan is a functional anarchy where elected leaders are a poor third in the pecking order after army chiefs and intelligence chiefs? There comes a time to say enough is enough. If we cannot act after the most brazen attack on our national fabric, we will never do so ever.
Pakistan is supposed to mean "the land of the pure". Perhaps its time for a change of name…
