Taliban Khan's love for terrorists
Omkar Dattatray
Pakistan Prime Minister's new found love for terrorists was evident the other day when Imran was speaking in the national assembly of the country. Imran khan said that Osama-Bin-Laden was martyred by the American forces in Abottabad in violation of all international agreements and values.
One wonders if Laden is a martyr for Imran khan, then who is a terrorist for the puppet prime minister who is dancing to the tunes of army chief of Pakistan General Bajwa. Pakistan Prime Minister has put his heart out when he remarked that Laden was martyred by American forces.
The pertinent question is that if Laden is a martyr who is then the terrorist and Imran's definition of a martyr is wrong and it speaks about the policy of Pakistan regarding the terrorists. It is quite obvious from the remarks of the Pakistan prime minister the other day in the national assembly that terrorism is the state policy of Pakistan.
The truth is that Osama has been given the status of a martyr by Pakistan prime minister, while the fact is that he was the international terrorist who had conspired the attack on the world trade centre in America where three thousand innocent persons were killed for no fault of theirs.
Osama was doomed to die a dogs death and America has done right thing to have killed this brute .One fails to understand if this is the definition of a terrorist , then how will the Pakistan state fight the menace of terrorism which has engulfed the so called land of the pure. It is obvious now that the terrorism is the state policy of Pakistan and Pakistan transports and supports the terrorism in other countries of the world.
Pakistan is the originator, mother and the epicentre of the terrorism and that country is directly and indirectly encouraging and supporting the terrorism in other countries of the globe and thus the international community should take due note of this problem and exert pressure on the Pakistani establishment not to support terrorism and also not to allow its soil for terrorist activities in accordance with the international agreement and conventions. But Pakistan is treating the dreaded terrorists and terrorist heads as the freedom fighters and not as terrorists.
Thus Masood Azahr, Sallah-hu-Din, Dawood Ibrahim and others of the like are the role models for the Pakistan government and this is a tragedy. These are terrorists through and through and should be treated as the terrorists but the fact is they are given the treatment of heroes and of the freedom fighters.
These terrorist heads are wanted by India and should be handed over to India to face the legal battle for their involvement in the terrorist acts. The better course for the neighbouring country is that they should tighten the noose against these dreaded terrorists and not let them free.
The demon of terrorism is threatening the Pakistani state and is devouring innocent lives in that country and the Pakistani state looking passively. Pakistan is required to crack down on the terrorists and save innocent human lives .
The terrorism which Pakistan has nurtured for the other countries is today threatening Pakistan itself and proving the adage that one who digs a pit for others falls himself into it and the same is happening in Pakistan.
The terrorists who have been nurtured by the Pakistan for India are today a problem for that country but Pakistan is not dealing terrorism with a strong hand.
Day in and day out the terrorists are threatening the pakistani society and killing innocent men and women and children but that country is not doing enough to fight them back but rather supporting them indirectly and this is the problem.
The names sake democracy of Pakistan is not doing enough to fight the monster of terrorism which is devouring the innocent lives in there. It is so obvious that when the Pakistan prime minister is saying that the killer osama has been martyred in Pakistan by the American forces then the treatment meted to the terrorist heads is self explanatory .
Pakistan prime minister should see reason and should put off his biased blinkers and be hard to the terrorists .
The terrorists should be put behind bars and those involved in the terrorist acts in India should be handed to the Indian authorities if Pakistan wants to deal firmly with the terrorists. Let the Pak primer make difference between a terrorist and a martyr and not label a dreaded terrorist as a martyr.
