THE Pakistani nation is not only fighting the scourge of terrorism with courage and bravery but also making eternal sacrifices. While the Pakistan Army is fighting a long war against terrorism with dedication and professionalism, India, as an enemy in the neighbourhood of Pakistan, keeps using new tactics to harm it.
On one hand, India is supporting terrorists, and on the other hand, it is executing targeted killings. Pakistan has presented all evidence of this to the world; now we must see how the world responds. Pakistan has been telling the world for a while that India is behind every act of terrorism, but the world has not responded appropriately. As a result, India is now committing terrorist activities and carrying out targeted killings.
India has been involved in illegal activities not only in Pakistan but also in the United States and Canada. India should be held accountable for this terrorism and assassinations at the international level, yet there is no reaction from the world except for harsh statements. India’s morale is rising due to the world’s hesitant response, and India is starting to realize that it can do whatever it wants in the world. Pakistan is the most targeted country where acts of terrorism and targeted killings are carried out. The Foreign Secretary of Pakistan has shared the details of two such cases with clear evidence in his press briefing, while some other cases are still under investigation. The details that the Foreign Secretary has put before the world, the Inspector General Punjab had also presented some similar details last year and clarified that a nefarious state and its intelligence have been found involved in it. Several incidents of targeted killings have occurred in various parts of the country in recent years, raising suspicions of India’s involvement because in the past, various accusations have been made by India against all these victims.
As the law enforcement agencies have found indisputable evidence of the involvement of Indian agents, it has become necessary to deal with the matter effectively. Along with raising it at the global level, remedial arrangements should be made internally as well because the protection of the country’s internal security can be ensured only by redressing this heinous series. At a time when general elections are just around the corner, these changing circumstances call for more effective security measures.
Targeted killing networks operating under the auspices of hostile elements pose a major threat in these circumstances, which, in their own right, are ready to go to any extent for nefarious purposes. The Ministry of Interior has repeatedly expressed serious concerns about this, and it is hoped that the national security institutions will put their concerted efforts to eliminate any loopholes that are being exploited by such activities. Pakistan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs will not hesitate to expose India’s deceitful face on international forums with all the evidence.
For a long time, Pakistan has been drawing the attention of the people of the West to Indian terrorism, but the United States and its allies have kept their eyes and ears closed. The United States has also started a formal case against India. It is time for the U.S. and its allies to tighten their grip on India, seeing the evidence of terrorism and targeted killings in Pakistan. Terrorism is behind India’s claim of republic; it should not only be declared a terrorist country but should also be blacklisted in FATF or face sanctions. If this is not done, then the raging fire of Indian terrorism will burn the whole world to ashes.
