No, onus on India

TWISTING facts and distorting the truth has always been the hallmark of the Indian leadership. The latest statement by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is yet another attempt to malign Pakistan and divert attention from the real issues. During an interview with Nikkei Asia, Modi said onus is on Pakistan to create conducive environment free from terrorism and hostilities for restoration of ties.

The current stalemate in relationship between the two nuclear armed neighbours is not because of Pakistan but the Indian acts. India has always played the card of terrorism victim just to create difficulties for Pakistan and isolate it at the international level. The truth, however, is that India itself is the biggest perpetrator of terrorism. During a recent visit to Goa to attend the SCO meeting, Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari in his media interaction very forcefully exposed the true terrorist face of India before the world. It is no longer a hidden secret that India is supporting separatists in Balochistan and trying to stoke anarchy and chaos in Pakistan by extending assistance to terrorist groups such as TTP. This is not an allegation but there are now several international reports on it. The very arrest of Kulbushan Jhadav from Balochistan itself exposes the whole Indian plot. Then, what is happening in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir is really horrifying – something also vindicated by the recent report of the UN Rapporteur on Minority Rights. Now India is trying to create a smokescreen of normalcy in IIJOK by holding a meeting of G-20 in Srinagar which is totally against international laws. No such meeting can be organized in a disputed territory. We really commend China for taking a principled position and deciding not to attend the Srinagar meeting. Other G-20 members should also follow the suit if they really believe in human rights and respect for international laws. And instead of shifting the responsibility, it is for India to create an enabling environment for dialogue with Pakistan. These will and should happen only if India reverses the illegal and unilateral actions of 5th August 2019, through which it treacherously abrogated the special status of Jammu and Kashmir.
