Inappropriate for India to connect terrorism with Pakistan: Chinese media
At a time when the international community is increasingly looking at Pakistan to act against home-grown terrorism, an article on state-owned Chinese website says accusing Pakistan alone won't wipe out terror threat for India.

New Delhi: At a time when the world community is increasingly seeing Pakistan as a sponsor of home-grown terrorism, some in China appear busy making a case to absolve it of its sins. In a commentary published in the state-owned Global Times on Wednesday, yet another pitch was made to deflect blame from Pakistan by stating that India needs to look within when it comes to terrorism.

Even as evidence of terrorism emanating from Pakistan has been repeatedly put forth by India, the commentary says it was incorrect for external affairs minister Sushma Swaraj to connect terrorism with Pakistan during her speech at the United Nations last month. "It is inappropriate for Swaraj to connect terrorism with Pakistan. A global consensus has emerged that terrorism should not be linked to nationality or religion. For example, Al Qaeda has bases in Afghanistan, however, countries including the US do not term Afghanistan a terrorist country," reads the article.

For the record, there is a big push within the United States to deem Pakistan as a state sponsor of terrorism, with politicians like Ted Poe calling out Pakistan's bluff of being a victim. In fact, the Donald Trump administration has repeatedly warned Pakistan to act against terror emanating from its soil.

Instead, the article on the Chinese news website seeks to highlight how Maoists in India's north-eastern states should be a bigger concern. It then goes on to term terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir as 'Kashmiri militants' and implies they function independent of directives from Pakistan. "After the 9/11 attacks, out of the need for India's cooperation on anti-terrorism, the US pressured Pakistan to withdraw its support for Kashmir's anti-India militant groups, some of which were listed as terrorist organizations by Washington," it reads.

"Nevertheless, these organizations are not directly controlled by the Pakistani government, and do not stop their attacks on India."

Ironically, the report was published on the same day as when a Pakistani Interior Secretary, who was expected to bring documents related to terrorist Hafiz Saeed's house arrest, failed to appear before a Lahore court - prompting the judiciary to warn that the Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD) chief could be released if evidence against him were not submitted. For the record once again, the US had already sanctioned JuD as a terror outfit earlier this year, but JuD - and Hafiz who masterminded the Mumbai attacks - continues to harbour political aspirations within Pakistan.

China though in recent days has also expressed a desire to work together with India towards development. Its ambassador in New Delhi said last week that the two countries must 'dance together' and on Tuesday, Chinese media hailed defence minister Niramala Sitharaman's gesture to interact with Chinese soldiers in Nathu La.

Dont worry dear friends in China Let indian, suhma or whatever she is bark as far as she can she will be getting befitting response from her counterparts in Pakistan and then they will cry to Daddy US

Except when it is state policy to use them as an instrument of the state.

To divert the world attention from state sponsored terrorism in J&K India started blame game against Pakistan with in evidence. Infact India is involved in terrorist activities through its RAW network Kulbushan Jadave is prison. To tackle sabotage activities of India in Pakistan, ISI needs to look into the matter how to treat Indians

Isn't it strange that in the 50s and 60s, witty Pakistanis used to say that their country was run by the three As? Isn't it nice that having milked the Americans through five decades, Pakistan now has a new aunty, who gives freely of her wealth to her nice nephew? And you have the cheek to talk about India, that was hated by both the US and its hangers on, and by the Russians for being non-aligned?

Even today, we have tried to bridge the gulf that had grown between the two countries, and we are in no way beholden to the US; we don't buy their planes, although they lay down and rolled on the ground for us, we buy some ships that we had not seen before and want to learn how to operate, just as we did with Russian submarines, we have bought, cautiously, some arms and ammunitions for the Army, and may add to the few helicopters that we bought. Not like a neighbour that spent its time sending its people to military school, organised its Army around the prescriptions of its new friends, joined two strategic alliances that were tools of imperialism and is now busy turning around to bite the hand that fed it.

No wonder you use the word 'bark' when talking about another country's minister; you don't know the difference between elected representatives and dogs. Not surprising considering that for half your history, you had no elections.

There has been nothing else that ISI has done in its entire existence since the inception of Pakistan, when it was formed to substitute for the IB. And this is the result. So lage raho, and good luck to your continuing to sponsor non-state actors. As Lincoln said, you can fool all the people for some of the time; you can fool some of the people all the time. But you can't fool all the people all the time. You have gone through the first two phases; now you are slowly getting to learn about the third.

Using terrorism as a state policy across the line of control which lead to exodus of hundred of thousands people, tens of thousands civilians and soldiers dead because of that policy is not inappropriate at all. No matter what China says its has no bearing on India and we will keep pursuing in this endeavour until Pakistan ceases such activities from across the line of control and bring people responsible for all this mayhem to justice.
