Today is the fifth anniversary of the Mumbai attacks, also known as 26/11. Since then it has been clearly proven that the attacks were carried out by Pakistani terrorists, trained and abetted by the Pakistani intelligence agency, the ISI. The US had its 9/11 in 2001. Every year since then the names of the victims are read aloud at the site. The US attacked Al Qaeda in Afghanistan forcing Bin Laden to flee from his hideout in the caves at Tora Bora but there was to be no escape. On 2 May, 2011 US Navy Seals attacked his house in the garrison town of Abbottabad in Pakistan, killed him and dumped his body into the sea. Since 2005 the US has been assassinating those it sees as its enemies, hiding in Pakistan, by firing missiles from drones. The latest was the chief of the Tehrik-i-Taliban, Hekimullah Mehsud who was taken out on the first of this month.
Contrast the furious US response to the killing of its citizens to the loving embrace of Pakistan by this Congress led government. Hardly had the funeral pyres cooled down than our most revered Prime Minister was signing an agreement with Pakistan on 16 July, 2009 confessing to Indian involvement in the separatist movement in Baluchistan. Pakistani Foreign Minister, Shah Mahmood Qureshi, would not have been surprised because he had expected India to negotiate for peace on " bended knees ". Seems that the government has decided to wipe this atrocity from our memory because there is not one word on the attack in today's Times of India, the newspaper which led a campaign of subjugation called " Aman ki Asha " or " desire for peace ". We run a Samjhauta ( which means " understanding " ) Express between Delhi and Lahore allowing Pakistanis free access to our country. Pakistani singers and actors earn vast sums working in Bollywood films although our films are restricted in Pakistan. Musharraf was treated as a VIP when he visited India last year with his wife. He is a war criminal responsible for the unprovoked attack on Kargil, accused of treason in his own country. Is it any wonder that Pakistani Prime Minister, Nawaz Sharif wants visa free travel between India and Pakistan? A nation of 1.2 billion people allowing a country of mad dogs to keep killing our citizens. Why?
