Pakistani Depravity And The Response Of Our PMs

Finally the PM spoke. After days of the beheadings. No passion of any kind whatsoever. People were expecting him to say “Theek Hai” even this time. It is not because he is a pragmatic tough guy. Obama spoke the day of the primary school massacre. He had tears in his eyes. It is not because he is a helpless weakling. That is the difference between the US and our unfortunate country.

I do not care why the pakis did it. I do not care about the big game being played on the western border and the tactical diversion this beheading was supposed to be. None of that really matters because the pakis are doing what they know – deception, depravity and destruction. We have come to expect nothing less from those people. I do not know why anyone other than the “jhola-brigade” and the pseudo-secular politicians are surprised.

What also does not surprise is the Indian response. So far all our PMs have been men with ties to pre-partition India. They all have some fond memories of Lahore or whichever corner of that country. It is either that or their bloated ego, which tells them that it is they who can bring peace between India and its neighbor. What else can explain their all-forgiving nature when it comes to the pakis? Mr. R Jagannathan writes the following in his excellent piece:

In 1948, Nehru agreed to a ceasefire in Kashmir when we were just about to drive the Pakistanis out of the state. In 1965, India vacated some of the most strategic conquests during the war (Haji Pir pass, for example) after the Tashkent peace agreement signed by Shastri. In 1971, even with 90,000 Pakistani soldiers held as prisoners of war, Iron Lady Indira Gandhi melted and failed to press home the advantage in the Shimla talks. In 1998-2001, Pakistan first reciprocated Vajpayee’s Lahore bus trip with Kargil. And then followed it up with an attack on Parliament. But after rushing troops to the border, Vajpayee meekly withdrew them in 2003 and resumed the peace process without conditions.

Today, Sushmaji is talking tough but who can forget that she was part of the government, which personally escorted two terrorists to Kandahar after completely mismanaging the hijacking. It was because of some pissing match between the Indian army decision makers and the PMO which let the plane fly out of Amritsar. Had the place stayed there, that could have been resolved in our favor with some effort.

The one way we used to raise the cost of terrorism for the pakis was RAW capabilities, which was dismantled by IK Gujral who was a delusional fool. However, the current PM seems to have outdone all his cowardly predecessors. This man wants peace with Pakistan no matter what the cost. We have recently found out that more of our soldiers were beheaded by the pakis but those were brushed under the carpet at the insistence of the UPA government. The current foreign minister is talking about “proportionate response”. This is the guy who was threatening Arvind Kejriwal with death when the latter brought up corruption charges against Khursheed. Was that proportionate, Mr. Khursheed?

Here are a couple of statements made by our PM in front of paki leaders:

“We both recognise that if there is another attack like Mumbai, it will be a setback to the normalisation of relations.”

“India-Pakistan relations are prone to accidents.”

Beheadings and terrorist attacks on India are setbacks and accidents for this guy blinded by his desire to see his name in the history books. The only time our leadership showed any spine was in 1971. Of course how much of that was the decision of our politicians would always be a mystery.

The day we get a PM who will have a pragmatic strategy based on reality rather than some romantic notion of the past is the day we would solve this problem. Until then we should be ready to cremate more of headless soldiers.
