Pakistan defeated and surrenders meekly

Pakistan has surrendered to forces that are threat to the humanity and the civilization. Pakistan’s surrender to the Taliban forces is more disgraceful than its surrender to India in 1971. In 1971 India decimated Pakistan but today Pakistan warped to the radical forces in its own country.

The surrender commemorates the 20th anniversary of the Soviet withdrawal from Afghanistan. The whole world watched with concern, disbelief and uneasiness the massive victory rally organized in SWAT valley by Sufi Mohammed, the spiritual leader of Pakistan Taliban and his son in law “Radio” Fazullah. The rally was a clear indication of victory to Taliban forces over American forces and the Pakistani army which the Pakistan Government is refusing to accept. The fact is that Pakistan has lost control over the Frontier.

The world is outraged over Pakistan government's surrender to the Taliban knowing the threat Taliban pose to the world. The Taliban forces are just 200 Kms away from Pakistan’s capital Islamabad and are waiting at the doorsteps to capture Islamabad also. The world is worried that Taliban could take control of the nuclear weapons which would be a sure threat to the Western world.

Who is to blame for this? These forces were groomed by the very same people who now brand them as a serious threat. Islam communalism was exploited by The West to counter the Soviet Union’s invasion of Afghanistan. Under Zia-ul-Haq, the ISI armed and supported the Taliban, who then fought against Soviet and pro-Soviet forces. Zia-ul-Haq opened the doors for the Islamist takeover of Afghanistan. Once the Soviets were expelled, Afghanistan turned to civil war but West no longer showed any interest in Afganistan. But Zia-ul-Haq continued to fund and support the Taliban. As you sow, so you reap.

It is now the same Taliban that is asking for a pound of flesh from Islamabad. Pakistan sooner or later should concede because it has let these forces grow out of its control and now these forces has started controlling Pakistan.

While India has done nothing to encourage these radical forces, it has become a target and victim of the sell out. The terrorist organization has already threatened to attack the western cultural centers in India and this is just a beginning.

Taliban has chopped off Pakistan's Northern arm and would soon aim for its head. India has to view this seriously and our politicians should set aside the differences and counter this proactively instead of makiing reactive statements.
