THE festivities of the reception of US President Trump’s two-day visit to India have ended. The overdo courtesy of India was evident. Media was asked to snap up every move of this “marriage de conveyance” ceremony. The welcome address of Premier Modi, which was completely laudatory, provided laugh-line to all the listeners all over world. The responding speech of the US President Trump was based on tricks, because everyone knows his hatred for Muslims but standing on the land of turmoil he did not condemn the communal riots or atrocities inflicted upon Muslims in India and India-occupied Kashmir. He extended his mediation on Kashmir between Pakistan and India, this is just a preach and not practice because he is repeating it for a long-time. He also spoke high about Imran Khan and gave him the status of his friend.
Here I will quote the words from a book of “price of liberty” by a US author Paul-O Nell, he said US is a friend indeed but not friend in need, it can provoke friends against friends and neighbours against neighbours. He said a very few countries have done against terrorism that much as Pakistan has done for USA but it has been very slow in fulfilling its promises with Pakistan. Washington had turned its ears deaf when Pakistan was going through tough time of two wars (1965 & 1971) with India. If President Trump offered the mediation, this is based on his own interests because in these days he needs the help from Pakistan for Afghan US packet. US polices are not all reconciled on the morality or obligation if it does anything for any country, it does it as an INVESTMENT. Its sympathies with the agonized people even its own country are based on business, because many heads of the states were market men. In the President Bush Jr., regime when US was awfully busy with the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan the Americans took to streets holding the banners, “give peace to mankind, don’t chop the human community”.
If Trump had condemned the communal riots or massacre in the IoK, he would have surely gone to have a look on the marooned people of the occupied territory, who are in a state of hunger and thirst snatching food from each other. President Bush always claimed, “I always take the wars as civilizing mission and as an act of peace but to my bad luck people say it business.” One of US Generals, Mr. Rienared Myer, had once said in a press conference, “Our casualties (anywhere) remind us the heavy price of the freedom of the oppressed human beings, building just peaceful world beyond the wars. We believe that every nation has the right to live on her own soil with liberty, honour and secured property. The world community observed and if we search behind the surface it is undeniable truth that USA is the singular country which has violated human rights to such an extent that the entire human community is in turmoil. It is top violator of UNO Charter of human rights and International Declarations. A US-based newspaper “The Washing Post” had published real stories of the plight of the prisoners of Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and the US had to face very cruel criticism globally. Having gone through the horrible stories of prisoners, I wrote a column by the caption “the supreme civilized state cages human beings” carried in “The News International” on 29-03-2002. The US Govt moreover declared a sense killing story of the US adventures and developments of inventing horrible weaponry.
In a very arrogant tone, the US President declared that “Our engineers and experts are busy round-the-clock to work on making precision guided mutation known as JDAM’s which can bring looming hours to our forces the thermobaric bombs BL–118 which is capable to suck out Oxygen from enclosed space, our experts are planning to make contagious agents such as smallpox etc to underpower any country. It should be noted hat 50 years back a story was published which carried details of Corona-virus which has now gripped the whole of the world in fear and restlessness. When USA attacked Afghanistan under the pretext that it is violating the rights of its people and Iraq is wasting its most valuable natural resources and oil, US earned ridicule from around the globe but it does not care. Similarly Modi’s cannibalized attitude towards human beings (Muslims) is also an alarm to the world community. How much is alarming that in India if an animal (Cow) is slaughtered, in response to it, a human being (Muslim) is slaughtered. In spite of all the sophisticated scientific inventions and other advancements on the globe, the ruling human beings are still in the pre-historic Stone Age. The issues related to human community needs SOS notice by the UN.
