ALTHOUGH Indo-Pak history, ever since 1947 has been troublesome, the two countries fighting three wars, but except for some brief interlude in 70s when Morarjee Desai took over reigns, or Vajpayee’s bus tour to Lahore, New Delhi, has been consistently been trying to foment trouble in Pakistan, through terrorist attacks via Afghanistan, and other means trying to destabilize its next door neighbor.
Its activities has now assumed new dimension with the coming into power of an extremist BJP prime minister Nirendra Modi, and its coalition partners the RSS, pursuing Hitlerite hostility, example of which were its aerial reconnaissance near Kashmir, and Pulwama attack. Indian designs have been clear probing Pakistan’s capability to counter Indian threat. But the way Pakistan Air force retaliated, shooting down two Indian MIGs, one of which had fallen in Pakistan, and the other in Indian occupied Kashmir, was enough humiliation for Modi and his advisers. Pulwama too proved utter failure, although Indian media trumpeted its success, but foreign military observers in Pakistan were provided proof of failure of the Indian planning, its success rate again being zero.
Lately Indians have begun to rely upon call centre tactics to fulfill its nefarious designs but again nothing really materialized. Failure of its planning could better be watched by the fact that over 20 Indian-origin people have been sentenced 20 years in prison in the United States for their involvement in a multimillion-dollar India-based call center scam which defrauded thousands of US citizens of hundreds of millions of dollars, NDTV reported confirmed.
The prison sentences for the 21 people convicted this week ranges from 4 to 20 years. ‘The stiff sentences imposed represent the culmination of the first-ever large scale, multi-jurisdiction prosecution targeting the India call center scam industry,’ US Attorney General Jeff Sessions said. Several of the convicted will be deported to India after the completion of their sentence.
‘This case represents one of the most significant victories to date in our continuing efforts to combat elder fraud and the victimisation of the most vulnerable members of the US public. ‘The transnational criminal ring of fraudsters and money launderers who conspired to bilk older Americans, legal immigrants and many others out of their life savings through their lies, threats and financial schemes must recognize that all resources at the Department’s disposal will be deployed to shut down these telefraud schemes, put those responsible in jail, and bring a measure of justice to the victims,’ Mr Sessions said.
United States, and Israel collusion or back-up to India emboldened Modi to devise new means to foment trouble in Pakistan, but what the Indian mindset could not yet grasp that Pakistan military machine has come a long way 1965 or 1971. Even in 1965, despite India having been armed to teeth by West on Nehru’s outcry against NEFA conflict against China, Pakistan had an upper hand, capturing Chamb Jaurian in Occupied Kashmir, and Dali in Tharparkar desert. Pakistan Navy submarine PNS Ghazi was trumpeted to have been struck by the Indians in Bay of Bengal, whereas facts are contrary to that. Ghazi blew up because of its internal fault in boiler. Indian claim was totally false, for Indian did not even know that Ghazi was circling in Indian waters, keeping hawke-eyed vigil on Indian vessels. The Dwarka destruction by Pakistan navy in 1965 rendered Indian communication system completely. These heroics were a lesson for Indians.
Now Prime Minister Imran Khan and foreign minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi have warned the world about Indian tactics, and a dossier prepared by Pakistan army, has been placed for the world to understand that India is threats to peace in the region. Over the years Pakistan has controlled terrorism. Its cities are now safe, and if some smaller incidents still occur in distant northern hilly areas but these too were nipped in the bud instantly and quite effectively.
The Indians’ persistent violation at Line of Control too has been replied with huge losses to attacking side but Modi is adamant for creating trouble for Pakistan. Pakistan army chief General Qamar Bajwa visited LOC many a time, and felt happy that morale of Pakistani soldiers was highly. For them martyrdom was Go Almighty’s blessings. Indians can hardly understand that the heart beat of Pakistani soldiers resounds with Naraye Takbeer, Allah o Akbar. They do not consider any sacrifice too great for the defence of their motherland. They sacrifice their lives so that the nation can live in peace.
Only few days ago Pakistan navy tested its surface to air Missiles with remarkable perfection, and the addition of JF-Thunder, third generation aircraft has now provided added strength to Pakistan Air Force’s attacking capability. PAF, according to Air Chief Marshal Mujahid Anwar is now preparing to add to its squadrons far more superior aircraft than Raffel which India has acquired from France. These are just a few warning shots to India to dare not cast evil eye on Pakistan, else it won’t even have time to repent. This message has been conveyed to Indian mindset by their own Generals and a latest book by an Indian army ex-General made it clear that India can not beat Pakistan whose military might is far superior to Delhi.
