Haq's Musings: Pathankot Attack; India-Pakistan Ties; Iran-Saudi Conflict; China Market Crash

Who’s responsible for the terrorist attack on Indian Air Force base in Pathankot? Is it Pakistani state? Or the same non-state actors who have attacked 30+ military installations in Pakistan? How will it impact India-Pakistan dialogue for normalization of ties?


What’s driving Iran-Saudi conflict? Is the conflict religious, sectarian or political in nature? Is it driven by internal economic and political problems caused by oil price collapse? How should Pakistan deal with Saudi demand to be included in a Saudi-led 34-country alliance which appears to be aimed against Iran?

Why did the Chinese stock market collapse? Why is Chinese economic growth rate slowing? Is it because China has become a developed country with a huge economy? How will it impact Pakistan and the rest of the world in terms of economics and geopolitics?

Viewpoint From Overseas host Faraz Darvesh discusses these questions with panelists Ali H. Cemendtaur and Riaz Haq (Haq's Musings

[Burhan Wani]

India is responsible for Pathankot attack due to it's illegal occupation of J&K which cause death of million Kashmiri residents including minorities. The fact India wants to hide is the collaboration of different rebel groups and the strength of Kashmiri freedom fighters. This attack will directly effect the peace talks of both countries which is not possible without hurriat leadership of J&K and India is not trying to realize their importance.

Any valid source,u mean our National security is involved in training militants and sending suicide bombers

The leader of group who attacked our GHQ and Air bases was your prisoner once similarly a group who accepted the responsibility for Pathankot attack is headed by Masood Azhar, another released prisoner who is working on agenda taught by your intelligence agncies, to create these events only to delay peace talks.

Why are you surprised as this is not the first such incident. Indian army has been caught pants down earlier as well.

In November 2008, it was reported that Indian officials suspected the attacks were linked to Prasad Shrikant Purohit, an Indian army officer and member of Hindu nationalist group Abhinav Bharat.
On 12 February 2012, the National Investigation Agency of India arrested a suspect identified as Kamal Chouhan, former RSS worker from the Indore district in the state of Madhya Pradesh and conducted intense questioning. According to sources, Chouhan had a possible role in planting the bomb in the train. Chouhan is believed to be a close aide of Ramji Kalsangra and Sandeep Dange

2007 Samjhauta Express bombings - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

That bombing was done by Raw just a day before foreign sec level meet in 2007 so we know who wants to sabotage dialogue like always as Raw knows during a result oriented dialogue India will have no option except to go for a referendum in Kashmir as per UN demands . Something their atoot ang crying army n politicians don't want to do knowing the obvious results owing to their brutal and inhumane acts against civilians in the valley

Do u have any comprehension problem,yr own reply says that the RAW had arrested a suspect identifed as Kamal chouhan,that doesn't mean he had commited the crime,he is just a suspect,that's all.Meanwhile in yr country there has been hundreds of bomb blasts in the last decade all over pakistan,how may ppl have been arrested or tried in court of law. for eg the gunman who shot punjab governor Mr. Salman Tasser is still cooling his heels in lockup after 5 years.

I had seen the video previously,about the video,let me ask u certain things.
U had Mr Bhutto talking of a thousand year with India. U have General Mushraff openly talking of training militants in Kashmir. U have extremists militant talking of planting flag on Red fort in Delhi.

#US, #UK rubbished #India’s ‘evidence’ against #Pakistan in #Mumbai attacks, says Wikileaks US, UK rubbished India’s ‘evidence’ against Pakistan in Mumbai attacks, says Wikileaks | Pakistan | thenews.com.pk via @sharethis

Following Pathankot attack, the Indian media and government authorities have been referring to Mumbai attack as Pakistan’s work despite the fact that the Wikileaks had shown both the US and the British authorities trashing Indian so-called evidence against Pakistan.

Publicly both Washington and London have been shy to embarrass India and avoided rejecting her allegation against Pakistan but the Wikileaks showed the two trashing Indian claims about the involvement of either Pakistan’s prime intelligence agency- the ISI- or even senior leaders of a proscribed organisation.

Wikileaks, which contained secret State Department wires, had quoted former US ambassador to Pakistan Anne W Patterson as writing to the State Department that India had presented insufficient evidence against the senior leaders of now proscribed Lashkar-e-Taiba.

Anne W Patterson had mentioned in a wire to the Washington that Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) and other investigators had insufficient evidence for prosecution against Lashkar-e-Taiba’s Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi, Zarar Shah and Mazhar Iqbal Alqama.

Patterson had even said that FIA was forced, as a result of political pressure, to arrest and charge the three LeT leaders and that FIA was still without solid evidence to begin a formal trial.

Some of the wires generated by US embassy in India had also made the India’s case on Mumbai attacks doubtful. Charge Geoff Pyatt was quoted to have written to Washington: “Indian officials remain convinced that Pakistan is behind the July 11th Mumbai attacks, and worry that the US is setting the bar too high for “solid evidence” of Pakistani intelligence involvement.”

The leak had even quoted National Security Advisor MK Narayanan as admitting that there are some pieces of the puzzle still missing. “He (Narayanan) said he is hesitant to say the evidence is “clinching”, but it is pretty good. Narayanan used the opportunity to reinforce the popular perception here that Pakistan is to blame for the attacks, while answering criticism that the foreign secretary’s and Mumbai police’s statements about the investigation were not backed by solid proof…”

The wire, generated from New Delhi, had also shown the Indian politicians reminding the Americans that India had sided with US on the issue of 9/11 despite the absence of concrete evidence.

The wire said: “At dinner with CIA Deputy Director of Intelligence Carmen Medina on October 23rd, former National Security Advisor Brajesh Mishra raised the issue of the US response to the Mumbai blasts.

‘We backed you when you decided to take action in Afghanistan after September 11,’ he said. ‘Your evidence after 9/11 was no less circumstantial than our evidence after 7/11 in Mumbai.’

He went on to criticise the US “double standard”, arguing that we treat Hizbollah one way, and the Pakistan-based United Jihad Council very differently. The bottom line, Mishra said, is that there is a widespread perception that the US is doing nothing to help India fight terror.”

Another leak, a wire sent from US New Delhi embassy to Washington, reflects on British doubts about Indian’s evidence against Pakistan.

The leak said, “While Indian press continues to pin blame on Pakistan, observers and diplomats in Delhi are asking the same question: was the ISI behind the Mumbai attacks? While there are clear links between the attacks, perpetrators and the extremist group LeT, and likewise, there are links between LeT and the ISI, there is no clear evidence yet to suggest that ISI directed or facilitated the attacks, according to the British High Commission.”

Now yet again after Pathankot attack, Indians have started blaming Pakistan claiming that they have evidence of Pakistan's involvement.

At least we are not teaching our students regarding Akhand Bharat. If there are training camps in Kashmir it is a reaction of your aggression, human rights violation and illegal occupation of a land.
