Pakistan waging covert war, says Maharashtra CM

[PakiRambo]

Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan on Sunday said that an unstable Pakistan will continue to wage a covert war and India needs to prepare itself to repel it.

Chavan was speaking at a book release function where a Marathi translation of ‘Tinderbox: The Past and Future of Pakistan’ written by senior journalist M J Akbar. The translation was published by NGO Sarhad.

The book is part of the project by Sarhad in association with Chinar Publications under which 50 books written on Pakistan would be published in Marathi to foster a better understanding of the neighbouring nation among the Marathi-knowing masses.

“We can’t choose our neighbours, we will have to put up and live with reality ... they (rulers of Pakistan) are unhappy with the fact that our country is progressing as a secular democratic nation while theirs is following a downward trajectory. This is the reason efforts are being made on their part to destabilise us.

“Following Pakistan’s loss in the 1971 war, its rulers have adopted strategies of a covert war. There are terrorist attacks and efforts to spark riots between religious communities is evident in these efforts. We should strengthen ourselves and be prepared to effectively nullify any such efforts,” said Chavan.

Reminiscing his visits to Pakistan, Chavan said it’s important to increase contact between the citizens of two countries.

“Instead of spending on defence and war, both countries need to boost trade. Efforts by Sarhad to increase the understanding between the two countries is praiseworthy,” he said.

Pakistan waging covert war, says Maharashtra CM - Indian Express

Lol, what a hypocrite. Is Pakistan waging a war or is India putting the pressure on us to wage a war? On one side of the coin he mentions that India should strengthen themselves since Pakistan is supposedly waging a war, while on the other side of the coin he says we must boost trade and and relations between the two countries.

Which side do you support? And why is he completely neglecting the fact that there are efforts by India to destabilize Pakistan? Who is responsible in the end? And what proof does he have that Pakistan is waging a covert war?

In the end, if he believes Pakistan is waging a covert war and the Indian government and people believe we are trying to wage a covert war, then so be it, but it's not going to help to ease the relation between the two countries. India needs to help Pakistan with its problems such as terrorism because it's not only a problem with Pakistan, the Mumbai 2008 Attacks can attest to that. Just because terrorism is much more apparent in Pakistan, doesn't mean it still exists in neighboring countries.

Both governments need to put their issues aside and come to agreement and work together to stop people trying to destabilize both countries and worsen the Pakistan-India relationship, which is already at an all-time low. If people like this guy keep spreading the propaganda that the other side is trying to wage a war, all it will do is give the extremists another reason to plan another attack.

Thats not Pakistani flag. Thats a Shiv Sena rally in Malgaon, guess Muslim community in Malegaon supports Shiv Sena

 

[iajj]

what is india doing allowing state ministers to mouth off about foreign policies? if there is further conflict between pakistan and india, the latter should be held accountable for not reining in local demagogues who willfully escalate tensions with india's neighbors to score cheap political points with narrow-minded local constituents in politics so low-level that shouldn't even have any bearing on nor be affected by india's foreign relations to begin with.

What conspiracy theories, Mumbai was attacked by terrorists trained in Pakistan. One of them is rotting in our jails. Have some shame for what they did first. How Indians are reacting have all the justifications in the world and we have no mood to let organizations still operating off the hook. Neither you guys can control your western borders in last 60 odd years now nor stateless actors (as officially subscribed by GoP). Then you ask others to show restrain, patience, shame if they react that way for your own failures which hurt us big time.

I would trust a CM of one of our state who has a state facing threats of strategic strikes every day than a emotional juvenile brain.

Oh my, my, my. So you made a complete diversion and didn't answer with anything relevant. You were suggesting that ISI or JuD created a false flag operation to misguide your police into making statements about terrorists entering Bharat. That's an obvious tinfoil conspiracy theory. Did you respond with anything relevant? Looks like the tinfoil has reached the inner part of your brain. You can't reply with anything relevant and were therefore forced to divert. Please have some shame.
