In this latest crisis between India and Pakistan, a lot has been said, but little has been done. So in the end, it’s just a bunch of “He said this” and “He said that” with nobody taking any decisive action.
The title of this ABC article is “India hands Pakistan “proof” of ties to attack”. Let’s see if they do this effectively.
According to ABC, “Indian authorities long ago identified Qasab as one of the gunmen who stormed Mumbai last week”. However, “Pakistani authorities continue to try to distance themselves from the attacks”. So we must now ask: who is right?
Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari would say nothing more than “..the investigation is ongoing”. Where are the details? Zardari’s unwillingness to reveal more details is being taken as an admission of guilt.
Qasab’s father was also talking: “This is the truth. I have seen the picture in the newspaper. This is my son Ajmal”. He is straightforward and almost defiant.
According to ABC, “Pakistan has increasingly come to doubt Indian intentions in the last few days, leading the military to take steps to defend itself in case of an Indian attack. Tension between India and Pakistan, a senior Pakistani official told ABC News, is increasing by the day. On a scale of 1 to 10, the (level of) tension is at a 7, the official said”. So the murderer’s father is defiant and Pakistan is acting like the victim when in fact it is the perpetrator. The evidence of that is overwhelming.
According toa Pakistani military official, “We can’t trust them”, and so Pakistan is “taking no chances”.
According to Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice, “Thus far, we’ve seen some positive results, though they’re not Nearly enough to this point”. Is Rice serious? Pakistan is BLAMING INDIA when they initiated the attacks that killed so many innocent people!
According to ABC, “Indian diplomats admit that their patience with Pakistan is wearing thin” and this is apparent from a statement by an Indian diplomat: “The less action you see in Pakistan, the more denials you see, the more the doubt (of Pakistan’s intentions) is just going to continue”. According to this official, the feeling is exasperation.
According to Pranab Mukherjee, India’s External Affairs Minister, in a statement to the Associated Press after meeting with Indian diplomats, “This terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan is the gravest terrorist danger to the peace and stability of the entire civilizedso far acted with utmost restraint and are hopeful that the international community will use its influence to urge the Pakistani government to take effective action”. world. We have The key words and phrases in this statement are: “civilized world” (India is trying to depict terrorists, or perhaps all Pakistanis, as barbarians) and“We have so faracted with utmost restraint (implying that more drastic actions are certainly not out of the picture). Also, India naturally wants other countries to help, but this is nearly impossible because it’s impossible to bring the murdered back to life and from a historical standpoint, governments are quick to speak out against something, but notoriously slow to DO anything decisive.
