There has been a constant conflict between India and Pakistan over
numerous numbers of issues. One of the major factors for conflicts has been
Militants, which Pakistan has always denied in-spite of supporting evidence
India gave time and over. Even before partition, a major group constraining
Muslim community tried to find a wedge to keep their community separate from
rest of India.
This started from 1924-Kohat riots where around 155 Hindus were killed
and 1 lakh of people had to migrate, then Calcutta riots in 1926, following
Noakhali riots in 1946 leading to deaths of thousands of people by Muslim
community which after partition led to the formation of Pakistan. Not to
mention the multiple riots this took place at the time of partition leading to
numerous deaths. This did not stop even after partition as Pakistan always
wanted to destroy the integrity of India. After continuous defeats in war of
1965 and 1971, Pakistan was crashed aside by India which gave a huge blow to
Pakistan. Realizing that he could not defeat India by war, Pakistan started
training militants which could do the job for them.
Militancy has been in the nature of Pakistan ever since, even if we look
at the foreign policy of Pakistan. Ever since 1971, when India helped create Bangladesh and dealt a
major blow to Pakistan, the Pakistani state has employed terrorism as a foreign-policy
tool against India, sponsoring or training Jihadist groups and helping them
cross the border into Punjab or Kashmir. Pakistan vigorously championed the right of
self-determination for Muslims around the world. This can be proven through
Kashmiri- Hindu killing in 1990’s by militant groups when large number of people fled
since 1989 to escape targeted killings and abductions. 219 were killed from
1989 to 2004 according to government of Jammu and Kashmir, while an
organization of the community in Kashmir carried out a survey whose data stated
that 399 had been killed since 1990 with an estimated 75% killed in 1990 alone.
The major epicenter of their operation became Kashmir as Pakistan always
tried to capture this state. As a matter of fact, it sent most of the militants
to Kashmir and trained them. They filled hate in their minds against India and
asked them to take revenge from the people by going against the law and
supporting them. Pakistan’s Nuclear Policy reveals the same mindset. Pakistan has not stated a “no first use” policy and
there is little known about its nuclear doctrine. “Pakistan tends to use its
nuclear capabilities to act as a deterrent for any kind of military
intervention by India,” whereas India has a “no first use” policy in its
doctrine which clearly mentions that India is a peace abiding state and does
not believe in attacking first.
All
these years Pakistan has been supportive to several terrorist groups despite
several stern warnings from the international community. It has been training
several terrorist groups like ‘Lashker-e-Taliba’ which were also involved in
attack of 26/11. The militants came through the sea route and attacked Taj
Hotel and killed hundreds of people. Former Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf
also admitted once that Pakistan supported Lashker-e-taliba which clearly
proves that it has continuously tried to attack India on any front possible.
Pakistani soldiers cross fences
to kill and mutilate the bodies of our soldiers. Such cock-a-snook BAT attack,
in the past has been resorted to by Pakistani Army, whenever they faced a
threat of conventional war with India or whenever Pakistani Army’s morale took
a dip. Pakistan is at the verge of an economic apocalypse, yet the gluttonous
Pakistani army has the temerity to funnel funds to terrorist groups created by
ISI.
Pakistan’s military
establishment and intelligence agencies consider militant sponsorship an
important mechanism for maintaining Pakistan’s sovereignty and national
identity. Pakistan’s civilian institutions, too, have evolved to facilitate
militant sponsorship by routinely legitimizing expansive executive powers,
limiting judicial oversight, and violating civil liberties in the name of the
national interest.
Despite of
several warnings from different nations Pakistan continues to sponsor militancy
to the groups like Hizb‐ul‐Mujahideen, Lashkar‐e‐Taiba,
and Jaish‐e‐Mohammad, Afghan Taliban and Haqqani Network to name a few. The Greater Kashmir newspaper reported that
the armed group Jaish-e-mohommad
(JeM), headquartered in Pakistan, claimed responsibility for the attack. For
the attack on convoy carrying 42 soldiers were attacked lately.
Pakistan was
trembled when the government decided to make Jammu and Kashmir a proper state
and ruled out ‘Article 370’which gave a special status to the state. Militants
took advantage of the special status as many of the laws were not applicable to
Jammu and Kashmir which gave them free hand. After this the militant attacks
have reduced significantly. But still Pakistan tries to influence people
through online media by creating different pages on social media platforms like
Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, hate
tweets on Twitter by the name of Indian pages so that people begin to build
hate the government. Pakistan believes in keeping religion above humanity and
wants to maintain a radical society in India.If this chapter has
to be permanently erased then few points can be taken into consideration. Firstly
the education system needs to be invigilated and altered especially in
Madarsa’s from the basic classes to maintain a healthy atmosphere. Educational
institutions must be increased and processed on practical learning. There
should be Nukad Nataks, plays in theatre, debates and declamations in schools
on this topic to eradicate the radical mindset. Motivational public speeches
should be held on national days to mark the importance of education and
development. Anti-Social elements of the society should be punished, law and
order to be inherited strictly. Social Media websites and handles should be
kept under watch so that no one tries to create hate among the society.
Pakistan should be
cut off from any kind of ties and given Diplomatic Isolation. As Pakistan is
already on the verge
of an economic apocalypse,
funding from UN and other aids should be stopped to create pressure. The
agreements on the Line of Control (LOC) and Shimla Agreement should be
reconsidered without intervention of UN council. Government of India should
take people of Kashmir and areas of conflict into confidence by providing those
jobs, creating institutions, development of the state so that natives feel
equal to the whole nation.
