The Defence of Pakistan

'A Pakistani base is attacked and 24 solders are killed'. The News feed from the ISPR.

Although no one saw any deadbody nor the actual site of the incident. There was neither any proof nor any confirmation that there was an actual attack by the US forces and that solders were actually killed at the site. The incident 'did take place', according to the Pak Army and its ally, the US. An  apology was demanded by the Pakistani Army which was denied by the US.

The Military immediately, after the attack, stopped all supply routes to Nato forces in Afghanistan and demanded an unconditional apology. The ally 'refused' to apologise. The 'stage' was set and 'performers' started performing their roles.

Next in line was ISI's proxy wing comprising of the rightists & extremists who were instructed to formulate Defa-e-Pakistan organisation for highlighting US's brutality and refusal to apologise. The actors performed their role better than their wages and made their paymasters happy. They organised different relies and public gatherings in all the major cities of Pakistan. The media was already fed to highlight the activities of the organisation and everything was working according to the plan. The new platform threatened to bring to halt the Government of President Zardari should the Govt dared to open supply routes again. Profound rightist Imran khan, along with other center-right parties voiced his opinion against the Government and accused them of being the 'servents of America'. The government was blackmailed into sorting a new way to collaborate with the US.

The Government convened an APC (All Parties Conference) and all political parties devised new 'rules of engagement' with the US. Hence the responsibly of 'engagement' with the US & War On Terror was successfully transferred to the 'bloody Civilians'. The military was no more responsible for all the evils associated with the 'cooperation' with the US in Afghanistan. Although, even as of today all dealings are as they were before and political elite has no clue about military dealings or operations: kept strictly between Pakistani Military and the US.

Lets say all of the above is wrong. Everything mentioned above is conspiracy theory.Then why this Defa-e-Pakistan is not on the roads shouting 'President you lead, we all are with you' (Zardari Qadam Barhao, Hum tumhare saath hai)? After all, President defied US and acted in Pakistan's best interests by signing the agreement with Iran. They would surely come out on roads to provide support to the President of Pakistan and send a clear message to the US that President enjoys full public support? Is it not what they had been demanding of him by holding large rallies?

If not then one must not fool oneself by trusting the story masterfully narrated by the Gods-of-all in Pakistan that there was an attack by the US forces on Pakistani checkpost killing 24solders, US refused to apologise for the horrific act and that Parliament were to decide about Pakistan's cooperation with the Allied forces in Afghanistan. It is, infact, was a very planned way to transfer the responsibility from Militray to Politician that cooperation with the US was granted by the Parliament and not by a military regime. As was the case with the so-called Memo-Gate scandal. When the then ISI head very cleverly transferred all the attention from Military to the Government following the gross failure of our Military to protect the borders and could not do anything to stop US marines attacking Abottabad and sending the terrorist to hell.

Pakistani people must decide to make all institutes answerable to the Parliament, even if that means a struggle for 100 years. Pakistan's future lies in open and transparent democracy.
