An open letter to the Indian PM

Dear Mr. Narendra Modi Sahab,

Greetings.

We in Pakistan, really appreciated the desire to visit Pakistan, expressed by the former Prime Minister of India, Mr. Manmohan Singh, in his press conference on 3 January, 2014.

In this regard, I would like to suggest to the current leadership of both the countries, to take advantage of the conducive atmosphere prevailing in the region; and let India and Pakistan try a NEW APPROACH towards the peace: by first deciding upon a list of such core thorny issues, which are complicated and can only be resolved after full confidence, between the two nations is restored; and freeze all such issues or problems, for a short period of just one decade.

In the meantime, India and Pakistan should restore full friendly relations, by genuinely restoring confidence, by further pulling back troops from the LOC and start immediate cooperation in all the fields of economic activities, visa free to and fro, travel (for all the cities) of citizens of both the countries, special facilities for the businessmen of the two nations for opening of trade offices, banks, business shops and show rooms, in each others country, removal of all restrictions on cultural and sports teams visits and full permission of the TV channels, to be viewed in each other’s country.

It will be just of a sort of a no war pact (which should also include 90% withdrawal of troops from the entire valley of Jammu and Kashmir and 100% withdrawal of troops from the Siachin area, for a limited period of ten years).

Moreover, it should also be decided that in order to avoid any misunderstandings, on account of any illegal crossings from the LOC, joint LOC patrolling of Indo-Pak troops along with the UN observers, should also be considered as a part of the overall peace agreement, which is surely expected to work wonders, like a magic, in the economic emancipation of the teeming millions of both the countries.

Sir, hope you know very well that ordinary people of both the countries are fed up with the acrimony between the two closest neighbours; and earnestly desire hundreds of years of peace, for which the only impediment, is the lack of statesmen and visionary people in the policy making arena of both the countries.

Now, your and our leadership has got a golden chance of a life time, to jointly work for the peace of about 1.5 billion humanity.

Please extend your hands to meet the gestures of genuine peace, already offered at EVERY occasion, by the Pakistani PM Mr. Nawaz Sharif, to make the peace aspirations of the hundreds of millions of residents of the sub continent, come true.

Remember, may be this golden chance for the peace between the two nations, if missed now, may not come again in decades.

Also please inform all those military and political planners in your country, not in favour of genuine peace with Pakistan that low intensity war named as offensive defensive operations, or other covert hostile methods, are no more a long or short term options for, as well as, against; a nuclear power, which possesses more military nuclear arsenal (as reported today by Times of India) than India.

All such paradigms are out dated being a ZERO sum game, in the ultimate nuclear scenario. Such policy planners have no business to stay in the past non-nuclear status frame of mind; and they must develop a NEW and FRESH vision, to guide a major nuclear nation, like India.

Policy makers of nuclear powers must not have a mindset of a non nuclear state. And the foremost responsibility of these policy makers must be to ensure, at all costs, that under ALL circumstances, nuclear flare up or provocations under offensive defensive doctrine, MUST be ruled out: irrespective of the defined policy of no first use of nuclear weapons or retaliatory use of WMD’s.

Sir, if Malala Yousafzai and Kailash Satyarthi can be awarded Nobel Peace Prize for their noble campaign for peace through education and child rights, just imagine how kindly the world will remember the immortal bold acts of Mr. Narendra Modi and Mian Muhammad Nawaz Sharif, in ameliorating the hardships due to hunger, disease and illiteracy of more than 1.5 billion humanity of the entire region.

Please remember that war results only in devastation, deaths and destruction, whereas, dividends of peace are construction, prosperity and happiness.

Last but not the least, it must be a very clear objective of the leadership of both the countries, to ensure that India and Pakistan must not live like divided Korea, rather, we should live, like the united Europe.

Seasons Greetings and Best Wishes for a very Happy New Year 2015.

Last but not the least would you like to clean anyone’s garbage? If the answer is no, then why expect from us?

Anyway, we knew from the day one that this $7.5 billion KLB bonus for democracy was a lolly pop to Pakistan for getting its cooperation for WOT and US withdrawal plans from Afghanistan.

Let us also dwell briefly on the Afghan, Indian and US interests, one by one as below:

Afghanistan : Durand line is not the border between the two countries.

India: The existence of a strong and stable State of Pakistan is not in the national interest of India.

America: A nuclear Pakistan (more so a Muslim country) is not acceptable.

My Twitter message to the Indian PM Mr. Narendra Modi…

@nayyarahmad:
@PMOIndia @narendramodi
Till such time there are chances of a Indo-Pak (nuclear) conflict, economic take-off of India & the region is not possible.

This is a matter of vision and ability to gaze into the future, which only a statesmen can visualise, about the dividends of PEACE and the damages of war, or even fear of a war.

The world is surprised why the Indian Army commander missed to state that Pakistan’s flag and Pakistan’s national anthem CD (wrapped in a Pakistani newspaper may be “Pakistan Times”), was also found from the Kashmiri freedom fighters who attacked India’s occupied military forces installations in Kashmir.

Come on India your commanders even don’t have a sense of mocking a proper “False Flag” against Pakistan.

If this is the mental level of senior Indian Army commanders, then really pity on you..!

Last but not the least, for the consumption of the Indian occupation forces in Kashmir and the Indian government leadership, as well; the right to resist the occupation forces is the legal and moral right of the Kashmiri people as enshrined in the UN charter and explained below:

The Palestinian’s (read Kashmiris) legal right to resist occupation—to fight for their ability to promote, sustain, and nurture human life, to fight for their right to grow, to flourish—comes from two documents: the 1960 Declaration on the Granting of Independence to Colonial Countries and Peoples and the Fourth Geneva Convention and its subsequent protocols.

Taken together, people (read Kashmiris) have the right to “fight against colonial domination and alien occupation in the exercise of their right to self-determination,” Israeli human rights lawyer Lynda Brayer explained.

Writing in CounterPunch this spring in the wake of Goldstone’s backpedaling, Brayer went into detail:

Above and beyond the basic right of all human beings to resist their being killed and harmed, and a society to take armed actions to protect itself, this document legitimizes also national liberation struggles, including, at this time in history, most particularly, the Palestinian (read Kashmiris) people’s struggle for its own freedom. It is this right which legitimizes all Palestinian (read Kashmiris) attempts to lift the yoke of Israeli (read Indian) oppression from Palestine (read Kashmir) including all the actions taken by the Palestinians during Operation Cast Lead.And is not the right to resist oppression universal? Does this right not justify the American Revolution and then the French Revolution and the wars of liberation in the 1950′s and 1960′s. Nelson Mandela is a hero because of his resistance to, not because of his subservience to apartheid repression. And the Warsaw Ghetto uprising by the Jewish population against the Nazi repression is a beacon of pride in modern Jewish history. it is also a fact that Jews who joined the resistance, say in Poland or other places under Nazi occupation, are heroes for the Jewish people. I would contend that one cannot deny that right of resistance to Palestinians which the Jews appropriated to themselves, and which is the right of all peoples living under military occupation and/or colonialist regimes.

Richard Falk, the UN Special Rapporteur on Palestinian human rights, a professor of international law at Princeton University, the author of dozens of books, writes in “International Law and the Al-Aqsa Intifada”:

Though the Israeli government and the US media persist in describing the second Palestinian intifada as a security crisis or a disruption to the ‘peace process,’ in international law, Palestinian (read Kashmiris) resistance to occupation is a legally protected right…Israel’s (read India’s) failures to abide by international law, as a belligerent occupant, amounted to a fundamental denial of the right of self-determination, and more generally of respect for the framework of belligerent occupation — giving rise to a Palestinian (read Kashmiri) right of resistance.

It boils down to this: every time the Israeli (read Indian) military arrests a Palestinian (read Kashmiri) for “stone throwing” or “incitement” or any other bogus, trumped-up charges—and every time Israel (read India) holds a protest organizer or a Popular (read Hurriyat) Committee leader prisoner—it is, perversely, detaining Palestinians (read Kashmiris) for exercising their inalienable moral and legal rights to resist an illegal and violent military occupation.

Terror Attacks “Made in Pakistan”: How Should India Respond?

Tonight on The Buck Stops Here:’Unambiguous Pakistan Hand In Attacks’: Kashmir Corps Commander to NDTVThe multiple terror attacks in the Kashmir valley were made in Pakistan, that is the direct and st…

http://www.ndtv.com/video/player/the-buck-stops-here/terror-attacks-made-in-pakistan-how-should-india-respond/347596

Mr. Arun Jaitely and the Indian government are sadly and badly mistaken. The fact is that Pakistan and Kashmir are inseparable entities.

Actually, it is for the Indian government to accept the ground reality and decide between war and peace, with Pakistani and Kashmiri people.

Moreover, the Indian government should also be careful, while addressing all issues with Pakistan, which is neither Bhutan nor Nepal.

We the Pakistanis, know very well the worthlessness of India, which has even failed to subdue Sri Lanka, where recently about a dozen Indians, have been awarded death penalty.

Last but not the least, we Pakistanis also know that the United States leaders have clearly told India that it can’t be included in the UN Security Council, as its permanent member, until and unless india resolves Kashmir problem with Pakistan.

So, the fact is that it is in India’s own long term strategic interest, to be at peace with Pakistan; which obviously can’t be achieved without resolving the Kashmir dispute, in accordance with the UN resolution; and the aspirations of the people of Kashmir.

Indian policy makers must repeat must, clear their mind that it can not gain anything, by its newly adopted policy of verbal and military aggression. Pakistan is NOT made of the material, which can be subjugated by India.

Mr. Arun Jaitely, you can’t have your cake and eat it too.

My reply to the Indian defence minister’s following statement:

@DunyaTV: Pak should decide whom to talk to, govt or separatists: Jaitley http://t.co/oYfV3iLQKL

My reply:
@arunjaitley @ForeignOfficePk Pakistan and Kashmir are inseparable it is for India to decide if its wants to live in peace with Pak or not.

New Year Resolution (written on 31 December, 2013 refreshed on 27 October, 2014 and 17 January, 2015 and still even more relevant TODAY, when both the countries are almost on the brink of a nuclear war, due to very aggressive ceasefire violations by the Indians on the LOC; and as admitted and claimed by the Indian National Security Advisor, Ajit Doval, Indians have embarked upon a proxy terror war against Pakistan, under the nomenclature of “Defensive Offensive” doctrine. However, under the scenario, it is not very difficult to visualise the reaction of a nuclear Pakistan, if another Indian sponsored terror attack on Pakistan, resembling the type and magnitude of 16, December 2014 genocide of school kids in Peshawar, is repeated on its soil, by the proxy Indian trained and financed agents, as per own admission of Ajit Doval).

From Pakistan With Love to All the Indians… – Ring out the thousand wars of old, Ring in the thousand years of peace.

New Year Resolution – From Pakistan With Love to All the Indians

While wishing all the Indians a very happy and prosperous new year 2015, we would like to inform everyone in India that if at all we have to be friends, then that friendship must be in a true sense; and we must not act and behave with each other, in a hypocritical manner.

Let India and Pakistan be friends in true sense, or else let the leaders of both the countries inform the teeming millions of the sub-continent that an India vs Pakistan all out nuclear war, IS AN OPTION.

It must be clear to ALL the civilian and military leaders in India that assuming (just theoretically) without any Pakistani retaliations, if India (God forbid) reduces the entire Pakistan to rubbles, with a nuclear attack, INDIA TOO won’t be able to survive the radiation, which will reduce the vast agricultural lands in Indian Punjab and other areas, totally uncultivable for hundreds of years, leaving millions of Indians to die, of hunger and diseases.

However, as per the more plausible scenario, if Pakistan decided to empty on India, all and entire of its nuclear arsenal, (Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal is increasing at a pace faster than any other country and now is reported to have more nuclear weapons than that of India, reports TOI in its news item of 17, January, 2015 titled “Pakistan’s fourth nuclear reactor appears operational”) either as a first strike, or second strike, almost entire India will be vaporised. And as calculated by the scientists, this all out nuclear exchange between India and Pakistan, will raise so much dust that the entire planet Earth, will have a complete blackout of sun rays for decades, resulting in a dooms day day scenario, for every living organism on Earth.

Moreover, no foreigner will even think of staying and visiting india, with so much high radiation everywhere. Indian nuclear policy decision makers must know in advance that nuclear wars are ABSOLUTELY NO option, with very close neighbours. In such a geographical and military situation, which exists between India and Pakistan, nuclear war is a ZERO sum game, if at all, it is a game.

We would also like to assure the Indians that even if we wanted we can’t conquer India. At the same time even if India wanted, it can’t pull down Pakistan, without India being destroyed, as well.

So, why to waste our time and energies in an imaginary hatred policies? Why to waste our precious resources, in being the prisoners of our foolish past? From the first day of the new year 2015, let us bury our bitter past and be friends in true sense, like all the European countries. India and Pakistan can and must live like United Europe, rather than wasting all the precious resources for living like divided Korea.

Ring out the old, ring in the new,
Ring, happy bells, across the snow:
The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true.

Let us have a genuine peace. Let India remove all its strike forces from the Pakistani borders, without any fear. Let us join hands to wage a war against poverty, hunger, disease and illiteracy. Let us turn this subcontinent into a bastion of peace and a heaven on earth.

Ring out false pride in place and blood,
The civic slander and the spite;
Ring in the love of truth and right,
Ring in the common love of good.

Ring out old shapes of foul disease,
Ring out the narrowing lust of gold;
Ring out the thousand wars of old,
Ring in the thousand years of peace.

India and Pakistan just need a period of single decade of genuine peace, to turn around its fortunes, for emerging as the most potent economic and cultural power house of this world.

The only condition is the genuine and authentic peace, like the one which exists in between the EU countries.

Don’t be afraid of problems between the two countries, because they will remain for ever, but we have to give priority to peace, over the problems.

Let us make a new start from the beginning of the new year 2015, with the slogan:
– Long live the friendship of the teeming millions of India and Pakistan.

Pakistan beware..!

The Indian army’s heavy firing on LOC and across all over working boundary, may be a prelude to a plan of launching a limited attack on the Pakistani territory, with the excuse of silencing firing from the Pakistani side, on the Indian border area.

This will also test the Indian doctrine of cold start and thwart Pakistani plans of launching of close range tactical nuclear missiles on Indian soil, at the advancing Indian troops.

Actually, some time back Indian army did distribute pamphlets in Indian Held Kashmir, giving detailed action plans and instructions to the civilians, what to do in advance to survive and how to react, in case of a nuclear attack.

You too Sartaj Aziz… licking the Indian boots..!

Please don’t distort the fact, because the meeting with the Kashmiri leaders took place in the Pakistani HC in Delhi on 19 July, 2014 and on 25 July, the Indian FM telephoned the Pakistani High Commissioner to arrange Indian and Pakistani foreign secretaries meeting, on 25 August, in Islamabad.

So, this clearly proves that the subsequent Indian decision to back out of the talks, was an after thought; and nothing to do with the meeting of the Kashmiri leaders with the Pakistani High Commissioner in Delhi.

The express Tribune news link:- http://tribune.com.pk/story/768419/meeting-with-hurriyat-leader-was-probably-mistimed-says-aziz/

Adviser to the Prime Minister on National Security and Foreign Affairs Sartaj Aziz has said that the timing of a meeting between Hurriyat leader Shabir Shah and Pakistani High Commissioner to India Abdul Basit was ‘probably not right.’
While talking to Indian channel Headlines Today on Saturday, Aziz said although such meetings were regular for decades now, the timing could have been better this time.
“This has been a regular practice since last 30 years and I don’t think there is anything new about it,” he said. “In this case, the timing was probably not right because a substantial discussion on Kashmir was yet to start.”
This meeting on August 25 was to declare the agenda, he added.
However, Aziz argued, if Indians had apprehensions, they could have informed them, earlier.
“I think if the request had come earlier that the timing is not right then probably it could have been reconsidered,” he said. “But in this case the message came when one of the Kashmiri leaders was already in the High Commission.”

Latest update after attack at Karachi air port and killings of dozens of pilgrims at two hotels in Taftan near Iranian border.

Now, a time has come that Pakistan can not and must not allow this war, to be just a kind of a routine exercise, to wait for the terrorists to attack as per their will and evil designs; and after that we ask our law enforcing agencies, to go after them and kill them.

This sort of mind set will ruin us completely, sooner than later. Offence is the best defence. Pakistan must inform the United Nations, Afghanistan and India that come what may, Pakistan will launch severe punitive strikes inside Afghanistan, on its terrorists training bases and on the Indian Consulates, as well.

We must remember that when it comes to a do or die situation, specially for a nuclear power, then there is no going back. Precisely, this was the reason USA was absolutely ready for a nuclear war, when Russia planned to install missiles, in its back yard in Cuba.

Actually, the current strategy of our known enemies, to wage a out sourced third party war, to disintegrate and degenerate a nuclear Pakistan, suits them as the best option, without any cost to our enemies.

As such, it is high time our strategy is revamped and rehashed, to let our enemies and the whole world know very clearly that red lines of Pakistan’s conventional and nuclear threshold have been crossed; and we reserve the right to use any and all weapons, to safeguard our national interests.

This means clearly the use of nuclear and all weapons at our disposal, because we can’t sit idle and witness our own demise, without any punishment to the mischief mongers.

In this regard, if the UNO or the world powers wants to take steps to ensure peace on our western borders, we should have no objection, provided all the Indian consulates established, after the NATO invasion of Afghanistan, are permanently shut down, just as Russia accepted American demands, during the Cuban crisis.

So, for a nuclear Pakistan, enough is enough.

We must not forget that any all out nuclear war between India and Pakistan, will not only be a complete annihilation of both the countries, but it will spell dooms day, for the entire planet, as well.

How to win Pakistan’s world war..?

Pakistan is not in an ordinary war rather, for us it is our world war, which is being fought for the life and death of Pakistan. This type of war has not been witnessed by any other nation, in the history of the world.

Moreover, it seems that this fight may not end very soon, in the near future. As such, our civil, military and all non military people, will have to stand united in front of the terrorists, who are hell bent to fight this war, not in our back yard, but right in the middle of our house.

In view of the seriousness of the situation and to keep the motivation of the general public alive, it is imperative to immediately announce the following initiatives:

1. Shaheed Chaudhry Aslam SSP and Shaheed Aitzaz Hussain (the 9th class student of Hangu, who grabbed the suicide bomber) may be awarded the highest national bravery award, for offering ultimate sacrifice, in beyond the call, performance of their duties.

2. As a safety and precautionary step, government must announce that with immediate effect, no vehicle of any type, including cycles and motor cycles etc., be allowed to enter or be parked in any bazaar, throughout the country. This is a harsh and very inconvenient step, but it may save many lives.

3 (i). In any crime investigations, the first logical step is to find the beneficiary of that criminal act. Here, in Pakistan we have observed a pattern, which reveals that either, the terrorists have been targeting the GHQ, Naval and Air Force bases or indulging in specific targeted attacks on Sri Lankan cricketers, Chinese, foreigners and Pakistani minorities.

3 (ii). All these operations are carried out (at specifically chosen vital timings) not only to inflict maximum men and material losses, but also to undermine Pakistan’s military power; and create isolation in foreign policy, economy, sports and tourism etc.

3 (iii). We should not be so naive to indefinitely close our eyes and ignore the role of huge number of Indian consulates, specially based near the Pakistan’s western borders with Afghanistan.

3 (iv). In fact, the terrorism in Karachi and the insurgencies of Swat and Balouchistan are a clear testimony of the Indian evil designs, being perpetrated through these consulates in Afghanistan.

3 (v). However, Pakistan must rest assured that this Indian game plan, specifically designed to keep Pakistan burning for an indefinite period, will never cease, till such time we repay the Indians in the same coins, by devising a strategy, to fight fire with fire.

3 (vi). As such, it is high time that Pakistan officially warn India to immediately pack up all its consulates in Afghanistan, failing which Pakistan should also immediately take steps to establish its own consulates, in the border areas of all those countries, which share a common border with India e.g., China, Nepal, Bangladesh, Myanmar and SriLanka etc.

4 (i). The sudden increase of acts of terrorism, highlights the importance of preventive measures to curb the menace of terrorism, which is causing severe losses to men, material and reputation of the country.

4 (ii). In the cases of terrorist attacks on the GHQ, PIDC house & Pakistan Navy air base, it was reported that the gang of attackers was residing in a rented house for quite some time, in an area not very far away from their targets. It was also reported that the neighbours of these houses were although, suspicious of these tenants yet; they kept quiet and did not tip area police, about their apprehensions.

4 (iii). Under the circumstances, there is a dire need for motivating general public, which must remain extra -vigilant, in playing their role of defending the motherland, by involvement of entire population of the country, to look out for the stay and suspicious activities of the terrorist, in their near vicinity.

4 (iv). As such, In order to make the stay of terrorists at any place almost impossible, it is proposed to actively involve the entire population to look out & hunt them. This objective can be easily achieved, by the announcement of the Government, that a reward of Rs. 50 millions shall be paid to any person, who informs the Police, about the terrorist staying in a house, hostel, hotel, rest house or any such place.

4 (v). If the war against terror is to be won quickly, the entire population of the country have to be geared up and involved in the task of watch and vigilance.
