Major General Sana Ullah Niazi in the red circle who embraced martyrdom on 15 September 2013 |
During
the watch duty of melons the owner of the fields saw that four boys armed with
sticks are not only robbing the melons but also destroying the plants. He
shouted on them and asked them that who are they and whose sons are they? One
of them told him that his father is the Lumbardar (notable or govt.
representative) of the village. The owner of the melon fields praised that
Lumbardar and said that he is one of the best people in the village; he made
the boy sit on his wooden bench respectively, asked to him to sit there calm
fully while he plucks sweet melons for him. The second boy said that his father
is blacksmith, the owner of the field replied that blacksmith is his friend so
he should sit respectively as well. The third one said that his father is
“water carrier”, owner of the field expressed happiness over this and said that
if “water carrier” does not bring water and sprinkle it into the village than
whole village would become dusty, so he asked the third boy to sit as well. The
fourth without being asked said that he is the son of the washer-man. The face
of the field owner got red with anguish and said that washer-man from whom
whole village is sick, who tears apart the clothes in the name of washing? He
started beating the fourth boy and all the three boys watched their fellow
being beaten up peacefully because it was enough for them that they were given
respect.
After
beating the son of washer-man the owner of the field called the son of
water-carrier and started beating him because his father was lazy and used to
get full money for supply of partially filled musk. The other two boys kept
silent because they have heard from their families that water-carrier was a
corrupt and lazy person. After making son of water-carrier runaway by beating
him, the owner started beating the son of blacksmith saying that son of the
Lumbardar has the full right to pluck as many melons as he wants but who has
given right to the son of a blacksmith to equate with the son of Lumbardar. After
beating away the son of blacksmith the owner went towards the son of Lumbardar
who was enjoying his fellows being beaten; the owner beaten the son of
Lumbardar and said that this filed is not the property of his father so that he
can steal away the melons and warned that if anyone again dared to trespass he
will make them an example.
In
this way through proper strategy the owner of the field not only punished the
naughty boys but also made them afraid of him for future despite of being
alone. Same like situation our country is facing now. In order to destroy out
motherland paid agents of different foreign powers have not only infiltrated
within our Pakistan but also busy in their dirty game of blood. In order to
tackle these foreign agents there is need to utilize good strategy and planning
along with power and this planning could be only done by our rulers but irony
of the fate is that this is the political expediency and corruption in the national
treasury of our political leaders that has brought Pakistan to such destruction.
Due to the criminally negligent policies of our elected leaders now
International Monetary Fund (IMF) has conditioned the loan with the purchasing
of electricity from India; in the other words International Bank has also
started interference into national matters of Pakistan by dictating Pakistan to
bow in front of India. This is not only shocking but shameful for the whole
nation that due to the corruption, criminal negligence, under hand deals with
India, kickbacks etc. whole Pakistani nation is being enslaved to India.
All Parties Conference for negotiations with TTP |
Of
course our current leadership is well aware that Pakistan is facing war like
situation and Pakistani nation is suffering from consternation. On the one hand
there is law lessness, bloodshed, poor law and order situation and abduction
for ransom which has made poor and rich both patients of anxiety on the other
hand security agencies are facing war on four fronts. The rapidly decreasing
value of currency, the increasing prices and inflation as a result of
devaluation of currency is providing fuel for the war that has been imposed on
Pakistan. Youngsters are getting motivated towards extremism due to the social
injustice of prevailing system. They do not feel any fear while snatching
purses from women or robbing persons taking money from banks on the gun points
(weapons they can openly purchase from black market) because they feel that
their daily routine life is not better than prison. Such youngsters prove to be
easy target for the agents active against the motherland; these youngsters
after proper brain washing, training and providence of weapons are launched as terrorists
against innocent public.
This
was the situation after which govt. of Pakistan called All Parties Conference
(APC) and a unanimous decision was taken that negotiations with Taliban should be
continued, however, the attack over GOC 17-Div Major General Sana Ullah Niazi
in which he embraced martyrdom and acceptance of responsibility of Taliban for
this attack was such a tragedy which shocked the whole nation. TTP
(Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan) praised this terrorist act as a victory presented
their conditions for peace talks which shocked everyone. They demanded that
army should be withdrawn from FATA and all of their arrested terrorists should
be released, which was not possible to be accepted by govt. of Pakistan. TTP
was also aware that it was impossible that their demands would be accepted or
considered but in the way they presented the demands it seemed they have over
powered state of Pakistan and Pak army does not have the capability to crush
them or has lost morale to do so. Although on the martyrdom of a General of Pakistan
and demands of TTP Chief of Army Staff General Ashfaq Parvaiz Kiyani expressed
his reaction in these words that giving a chance to political process or talks
for restoration of peace is understandable but this should not be considered as
weakness of Pakistan army. No one should have any doubt, Pakistan army will
fight against terrorists at all cost, neither we will accept demands of terrorists
nor we will let them impose their agenda. He further said that army has the
capability to destroy the terrorism to fulfill the expectations of the nation
however, army supports political peace process. In contrast to reaction of
General Kiyani the reaction of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif was much delayed,
perhaps he had been confused for peace talk with TTP, he was expecting attacks
but not such big tragedy. However, he expressed grief in his statement from Ankara
and said that use of power would be last resort.
On
the statement of General Kiyani that war against terrorists would continue at
all costs and statement of PM Nawaz Sharif, few analysts tried to prove that there
are disputes between army and Political govt. for peace talks with Taliban and
after martyrdom of General Sana Ullah the war on terror is inevitable.
In
order to sabotage the morale of army and propagate that there are disputes
between army and govt. the reporter of a daily newspaper running on the funds
from India under AMAN KI ASHA conspiracy, Umar Cheema published a very abusrd
story according to which TTP terrorists are following those officers who have
taken part in operations against TTP and
martyrdom of General Sana Ullah is also linked with this phenomenon. General
Alvi also belonged to SSG who was martyred after his retirement. In this regard
in 2003 TTP accepted that they have targeted him due to his participation
against TTP. He further writes that many
officers who participated in operations against TTP have been martyred. In order
to tackle this situation many officers have changed their appearances.
On
the other hand those elements who want peace process to be continued are of the
view that attack and martyrdom of Gen Sana Ullah is act external forces and
enemies of motherland who does not want peace in Pakistan, as these external
forces and anti-Pakistan powers have always sabotaged peace agreements through
terrorist attacks. This point seems to be valid because whenever peace process
progresses either through land attacks or drone attacks those elements among
terrorists who are wiling for negotiations are killed. However, this chaos
regarding peace talks with TTP died away when after a joint meeting PM, Army Chief
and DG ISI said that the decision of APC for peace negotiations with TTP would
be implemented and political peace process would be given a chance.
Without
pointing towards this decision, Pakistani was severely criticized in USA. Ex American
General McCain said in front of Armed
Services Committee that for successful withdrawal of US and NATO forces from
Afghanistan and in order to decrease the threats for Afghan govt. after 2014
the hide outs of Haqani Network and Taliban in Pakistan should be targeted. In front
of Committee he suggested that Pakistan should be warned that if anything happens
in Afghanistan in upcoming elections than this would be considered an act
against Obama administration. Pakistan should be told to deploy a large number
of army over Afghan border (so that Indian and US terrorists could be
infiltrated into Pakistan from eastern border).
The
big change was observed in this situation when Pakistan released Mulla Abdul
Ghani Brother on 21 September. He was arrested in 2010 from Karachi. USA was also
demanding his release as he has been declared as ambassador for peace by Afghan
officials. According to Afghan govt. his release would prove to be a milestone
in negotiations with Taliban. Although Pakistan has already released 33 Taliban
leaders but in spite of all this the peace process was progressing slowly. But release
of Mulla Brother is not acceptable for few elements in and outside of Pakistan because
they are afraid that with his release the reign of Mulla Umar (as he is not
needed by USA anymore so he is no more highlighted by international media)
returns, their future would be dark in Afghanistan, moreover it would be not
possible for them to continue terrorism in Pakistan via Afghanistan. The reaction
over release of Mulla Abdul Ghani has been observed in the form of terrorist
attack over Christian Church in Peshawar on Sunday when Christian brothers and
sisters were busy in praying. In this suicide attack more than 80 innocent
women, men and children lost their lives. What was their link with India-Pakistan
tension or Afghan politics? As a result of this attack over Church TTP denied
their linkage with attack over church as well as remote bomb attack over
General Sana Ullah. This shows that there is absence of effective communication
between different groups of Taliban and they foresee their future dark after
withdrawal of US forces although 20 thousand US soldiers and 9 air bases would
be operative in Afghanistan. The also want to settle their matters with Pakistan
before 2015. However, their controllers outside Pakistan want that bloodshed
and terrorism in Pakistan continues; this could be easily imagined what these
foreign terrorists want after watching a talk show telecasted on an AMAN KI
ASHA brand TV Channel that Pakistan should stop negotiations with TTP and order
army to attack North Waziristan (than why should not Pakistan keep itself away
from Indian drama of peace talks and launch surgical strikes in India from
where these TTP elements are being trained). Here I would like to mention that
in USA many pro-Indian analysts have criticized release of Mulla Brother
claiming that attacks of Taliban would increase. Although the decision of
operation or peace talks with TTP is to be jointly taken by govt. and army considering
the fact that country may have to face more acts of terrorism. If through
negotiations one front in the war on four fronts could be closed that there is
nothing adverse in taking the chance. Moreover, it is impossible that India would
give up her terrorism in Pakistan. If the
govt. wants to change the decision of APC than in spite of calling another APC
a joint session of Parliament should be called to decide once that whether we
have start operation against TTP or negotiate with them.
