The trend of terrorism and exploitation is not limited to a certain religion or society. It comes as a result of political goals and the manipulation of certain factors to meet some objectives. The renewed level of extremism in India is taking toll on the world and enough to prove that Brahma Shiva Hindutva mentality can only see destruction of religions or ideologies who differ with it as a success.
The history and involvement of RSS and BJP to exploit the financial or political vulnerabilities of Muslims and Christians in the region has exposed the Hindu mindset to create so called Shining India where only those who accept the Hindu philosophy have the right to live and others are simply told to leave the country. Quran e Kareem has already guided about Mushrikeen and Jews not being the well wishers/ friends of Muslims. Hundreds of thousands of innocent children and women have been killed in Middle East and Palestine. Hundreds of Thousands of people have been martyred or injured in the Indian Occupied Kashmir. The struggle is for independence and freeing from Indian aggression due to which the general public has suffered endless killings or being blinded through pellet guns. According to Al Jazeera, the Central Police Reserve Force had used 1.3 million pellets in 32 days after the martyrdom of Burhan Wani on July 8th. The inhumane use of pellets for blinding people is enough to prove the Indian formula of democracy for Kashmir. Eight civilians were killed in a single day when state and paramilitary police fired bullets and shot gun pellets on people protesting against by elections and the turnout was lowest in history. An army of 7 lakh troops is deployed in Kashmir which is the highest armed presence in the whole world for any region. The increasing intolerance of India came in lime light when India pulled out of SAARC summit despite the fact that Pakistan had extended invitation to Indian Prime Minister to attend the SAARC summit in Islamabad in November, 2016.
Indian spy Kulbushan Yadav detained by Pakistani authorities in 2016 confessed of his involvement in destabilizing Pakistan. Yadav as a serving Indian Naval officer carried out terrorism in Karachi and Balochistan. He carried out meetings with Baloch insurgents to kill or maim Pakistan citizens thus also indicating towards RAW involvement in Baloch Liberation Movement. These activities were concentrated near ports of Gwadar, Pasni Jewani and installations near the coast. ISI through its well coordinated and monitoring vigilance in Pakistan was able to trace the spy and uncover the conspiracy .Another network of spies was which being patroned by the New Delhi Embassy in Islamabad and involved in events of sabotage and terrorism was unearthed due to the timely checking mechanism of security agencies. These activities in violation of Vienna convention frequently prove the criminal approach of India in propagating terrorism and instability across the region. RAW also was involved in the kidnapping of a retired Pak Army Officer in Nepal as the website of the recruiting agency which had arranged for his visit was hosted in India and later closed. The twitter account was also unavailable and the number through which the officer was contacted was a fake computer generated number.
India is also turning into a nuclear terrorist as their nuclear scientist Vipin Narang said "There is an increasing evidence that India will not allow Pakistan to go first in use of nuclear weapons." This kind of move along with the belligerent policies of BJP would lead to the situation of uncertainty and no safety knowing that the bomb could fall into the hands of uncompromising war mongers already becoming stronger in many states of India under the support of the extremist Narendra Modi policies. Initially No First Use (NFU) was being promoted by the Indian Government but since the arrival of Modi Government , the rhetoric is increasingly aggressive and attacking.
The Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), the ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria), the Lashkar e Jhangvi and other terrorist organizations have been termed as Khawarij by Muslims all over the world as such terrorism and suicide bombing to kill innocent human beings is enough to categorize the terrorists as out of the fold of Islam. These banned organizations have been responsible for thousands of soldiers and civilian deaths in Pakistan. Afghan and Indian intelligence have openly admitted about using such Khawarij to destroy Pakistan infrastructure, target Pak Army and according to the Indian spy Ajit Doval 40,000 Pakistani casualties have occurred as a result of TTP's terrorist activities.
The role of India as a terror sponsoring state in the world is obvious when Modi openly admitted of India's role in Bangladesh's 1971 liberation war. He talked about his campaign of supporting the rebels in former East Pakistan saying that the establishment of Bangladesh was the desire of every Indian and that is why the forces of India fought alongside Mukti Bahini. In view of open declarations like these , it is pertinent upon the international community to devise a policy of controlling state sponsored terrorism if peace is to be guaranteed in the world.
Another shocking development was the nomination of Hindutva hardliner Yogi Adityanath as Chief Minister of Uttar Pardesh (UP). There were several charges of rioting and serious offences against him in various courts and raising such extremist to the top slot reflects the plans of Modi for "Hindutva India." The CM of UP has time and again talked about turning India to Hindu state, was involved in converting minorities to Hinduism, lead the burning of mosques in Gorakhpur and openly threatened to kill Muslims. This state of politics in India would not only lead to the downfall of democracy there but is also enough to support the Two Nation theory which is based upon the very idea of Hindus and Muslims as separate nations.
The situation is unique in a way that Indian ministers advocate the use of terrorism in Pakistan to control terrorism. These statements are also enough to make the international community realize that India is seriously engaged in weakening of her neighbors through state sponsored terrorism and creating unrest to cripple the economies. India has also used media like Zee News and WION ( World is Only One News) to portray wrong perception about Pakistan. Such tactics are deployed as a part of India's 4th Generation warfare to create confusion and chaos amongst the masses thus waging war against nation's infrastructure. The media has produced disturbing and false videos of Balochistan to instigate insurgency like situation. Some elements in media and politics fall prey to act as tools for India and such trend can be easily recognized and has been effectively filtered out by the responsible response of state security agencies.
The distribution of water resources amongst India and Pakistan has also become a point of concern as India's steps of constructing dams over rivers to deprive Pakistan of water is openly "Water Terrorism" of the 21st century. India has time and again violated the Indus Basin Treaty proved by the fact of their decision to construct two hydro-electric projects on River Neelam thus New Delhi stopped the flow of Pakistan's rivers originating from the Indian Occupied Kashmir. Constructing the Baglihar dam on Chenab River, reducing the water flow of Chenab river and offering assistance to Afghan Government to construct a dam over Kabul River show the troublemaking strategy of India to affect Pakistan as almost 80% of Pakistan's agriculture is dependent on irrigation.
With the successful emergence of projects like China Pak Economic Corridor (CPEC) and great initiatives taken by Pakistan Army and Intelligence Agencies to monitor the CPEC route on permanent basis and exercising detailed cross border check along with allocation of permanent units for the project have paved the way forward for Pakistan. India has raised concerns about CPEC in Kashmir without any legitimacy and that again is a wrong move to divert the mega project which guarantees the economic upheaval of the region. Pakistan as a responsible state would be the leading nation to make the world benefit from peace, welfare and coordinated development.
